Tumblr Thread Takes on the Scam That is Calling Lab Gems "Fake"

If you've shopped for the jewelry you probably know just how much of an elaborate scam everything involved with it is. Diamonds are almost like some kind of cryptocurrency as every bit of value we put into them is completely manufactured. Jewelry companies control the flow of diamonds into the market and keep the flow as low as possible in order to create a false scarcity, giving the illusion that these jewels are rare and valuable. In reality, there are warehouses of the damn things out there somewhere just sitting there. 

This scam has evolved further, with the rise of technology we can now actually manufacture gems instead of just manufacturing their scarcity. Of course, this would (and should) bring the whole house of cards crashing down if it wasn't for the effectiveness of the industry's marketing and propaganda. They've somehow managed to convince us that these manufactured gems are "fake" when they're essentially exactly the same thing.

Anyways, we stumbled on this Tumblr rant on the subject and found it highly entertaining. Keep scrolling to see it below.
