Nice proportions.

Some people may not know the difference. And the word "natural" appeals to alot consumers... Think skincare products.

Sooner people prefer natural because of how it was formed inside mother earth... I would think this looks antique vase and normal vase... Both also vase right.

Some may think natural looks prettier, but this is probably because they don't know the compound is the same and skeptical about it.

If you think logically... There is no way you don't prefer lab grown for is cost-effectiveness... But we humans tend to overpay for stuff for various reasons, such as branding, which honestly, makes me feel good too, even when I know inside it could just be OEM from some generic factory.

At the end of the day, only you know what you want. Just that lab-grown, try to aim for higher carat weight as lower carat weight does not carry a big significance in terms of price... For example a 0.3ct... at least to me. You still save money, but it could be less than RM 1k, depending on where you buy.
