China’s demand for natural diamonds has ‘fallen off a cliff’ amid plunging marriage rates, while its factories are churning out synthetic alternatives that are up to 90 per cent cheaper.

    if you vpn into china you can see them selling really high quality legit lab made diamonds for like 20-50 usd. you can try to ship them here but customs tries to make it impossible, so you basically just have to visit china to get them

      what about uncut lab made diamonds? I’m not in the USA and shipping from China goes smoothly 100% of the time for me, so I wonder if that’s a good avenue

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
