Diamond tennis lab vs natural, 4 vs 5 carat

I saw your similar thread in Rocky Talky but figured I would answer here. I got a LGD tennis bracelet and am perfectly happy with it. I do not think a natural tennis bracelet is worth the extra money for me because there is nothing special about the diamonds since they are purposely identical.

FWIW all the diamond jewelry I have seen from Costco has been quite nice. I only have one ring from them personally.
 
When I was spec'ing my tennis bracelet, I considered having LGD instead of natural earth-mined stones.

For what I wanted, about 3mm in diameter, 4-5cttw, G/H and SI, and bezel-set in 14K WG, the savings in opting for LGD was not sufficiently significant for me, so I opted for earth-mined diamonds.

In the end, it was 5cttw, 3mm stones, H/I colour and SI/I clarity.

I had concerns about the clarity, however, I was reassured by the bench I used in China that the stones were sparkly and would not resemble frozen spits.

And he was right, the stones were very white and sparkly, and I could not see any black spots with my naked eyes, and am very happy with my bracelet.

I purchased one of Alex’s tennis bracelets (preloved here) for a coworker’s husband to gift her last Christmas. It was spectacular. I have Alex’s Lab studs and I love them. No worries about loss like if they were naturals. But, only you can decide if it’s mind clean for you.

Yay I’m glad you loved it! Do you mind me asking what the price difference was? If I go natural I don’t know if I should go G-H color and SI clarity or I color vs2 clarity

I can't remember exactly, sorry, however, it was somewhere between 500 to 1k USD.
