Hi all! So I am really new to the LGD world, done some research about various growing methods, picked out a stone, etc… i know there may always be bigger, better diamonds on someone else’s finger but what I really want to know is this:
Why do people here seem to favor HPHT over CVD? Is CVD really that bad or is it a case of people just prefer HPHT because it more mimics the way diamonds are formed in the earth? I feel a lot of posts here try to steer people away from CVD diamonds, and that makes me feel my choice is somehow inferior or that I chose wrongly without doing enough research.
Is it purely a matter of personal opinion or is there something I’m missing? I don’t want to look at my ring for years to come and think “rats, shoulda gone with HPHT cause I got an inferior stone”. Am I right or wrong in thinking like this?
I like being educated but not too educated because then I second guess everything! Maybe I should stay off PS while waiting for my ring to be finished! Lol!!
