    The problem wouldn’t be fixed even then. The jewelery companies have people convinced that the only diamonds that are worth it are mined from the earth by a real human slave. Fixing that problem has nothing to do with gemstones.

      Is this still the case? I feel like I’ve seen “conflict free” as a selling point for (presumably labgrown) diamonds.

        Me too. I’ve also heard synthetic gemstones can have colours and structures unlike anything that can form naturally. I want one of those, so that nobody would mistake it for a mined stone.
