I'm thinking of picking a synthetic diamond as my wedding ring, and I was just wondering how popular they really are. Do any famous people wear synthetic instead of natural? I've read that they're identical to natural diamonds, and are surer to be conflict-free diamonds, but I never heard of any famous figure choosing to wear one. Do any famous figures invest in synthetic diamonds? thanks.

Actually, yes. a number of celebrity figures have made public announcements about only wearing synthetically produced diamonds to the events they attend. you can be sure these multimillionaire celebrities aren't trying to save their coins. Synthetic diamonds have several advantages. For one, synthetic diamonds can have physical qualities that are superior to those of naturally occurring diamonds. For instance, the hardness of a synthetic diamonds can often exceed that of naturally occurring diamonds. Secondly, - and this is the proclaimed reason behind these starts' choice - they are conflict free. the only way to assure that a diamond is really not a blood diamond, is not to wear diamonds that have been mined. Granted, many companies comply with the international laws regarding fair labor, and it is safe to buy diamond jewelry from them. However, since one can never be 100% certain where one's diamond has come from, many people including some celebrities choose to buy synthetic stones only. Notable famous women who have made a public issue about not wearing mined diamonds include Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Minnie Driver.

Most celebrities flaunt their expensive natural diamond studs and engagement rings whenever they get the chance. However, recently, as environmental and social concerns have become more and more discussed, there is a growing trend of celebrities who make it their business to set an example also where jewelry is concerned. icons like Gwyneth Paltrow and Minnie Driver wear synthetic diamonds only, so as to insure and tell the world that they object to conflict diamonds and to harming the environment and will do everything in their power to insure that they do not contribute to these abhorrent purposes.
