I couldn't ever want a natural gemstone if a lab-grown variety can be created cruelty free. If the only way to see a difference is by very exacting tests, I don't see what makes natural gemstones so valuable.

Granted, my wedding ring is a tungsten carbide band. $50 and saved the rest for two or three mortgage payments. And if I lose the ring, less than $100 to replace.

Hopefully, tungsten is cruelty free.
