They're buying the Earth grown, but they're slowly going back to lab. They're going to lab grown because when they see the difference in the prices and they see they're exactly the same, they're identical, they say to themselves, Why should I buy the Earth grown? And you got both here, right? Yes, I have both here. So why don't you like show us what a million dollars of Earth grown is versus what we could get for a

They always they always show bigger than they actually are so I'm going to say 7 6 and 2 seven very

close 6 and 2 carat M know I get a job here right J I'll hire you right now so this is a million bucks million OB obviously this one's more expensive than this one of course absolutely yeah so you're looking well over 1.1 roughly millionar and just two stones okay so let's do a comparison you want to see what a million dollars will look like can we get another tray and load it up with I'd be happy to show you what a million how much you can get for a million dollars in labone let's do it let's do it can you believe it million bucks million dollar no that so that's like 6 or 700,000 me but yeah the two of them together million dollars pretty though right yeah beautiful absolutely gorgeous okay so here we go guys I'm still going to fill it up this is about the same size as that one right yes carat we absolutely 145 this is your biggest one actually here yeah different shap this

is long a radiant cut. This is of course a round brilliant. How big is this? This one's 18 karat, huh? So we done this is a million bucks close Mike. We're looking at only around 250,000 just for those stones alone. Really keep them coming. Keep, keep going. Keep, keep them coming. Keep them coming. We can have a little fun with it too. You know what, we can even throw a 27 karat tennis necklace right on there. Why not? If you're keeping tallies, looking at another hold on, hold on, hold on. What are you doing? Hold on. My calculator. Do you was that in your back pocket? Yeah. Why you look at me like that? You never cease to amaze me. Why? All right, doesn't everybody have one? Well, you know there's one in your phone, right? In my phone? Yeah. I know there is. Let's tally up. Okay, let's tally up. Okay. So tally up. So this is a million dollars, you said, just in the stones alone. Then you can get another 27 karat tennis necklace. We'll

throw that baby on there just for fun. You're looking at another 25,000 right there. Okay, 275. Then we're going to put a nice Riviera necklace in there, about 15 more carats for a good 10,000. Hold on, 285... keep going. Why did it do that? Maybe I should use my phone. I'm not good with these things. Okay, let's start again. 28,500 plus there we go, ready to add on. Fancy intense yellow. How big is that? That one is almost four carats in the center. You got a fancy Vivid Pink emerald cut 2 and 1/2 carat there. How much are these two together? And that was about 35,000 total. 35,000. So it takes us to about 320. Yeah, no, it actually takes us to 355 now. Okay, 355. No, close this by itself looks like it would be worth a million bucks if it was Earth grown. What would that be, mate? 4 carat fancy intense. Are you up on your Rob report or

whatever I be like 18 180,000 somewhere around there that's it. Yeah 4 karat yellow. If it was a pink so this one here this one is a pink. If this was uh Earth grown you are looking at over a million dollars really cuz pink is much rarer than the yellow much rarer and this is vivid. Don't you have a pink earring I do. Is that the one that um Jacob was like you know how much this is worth what is that thing you're wearing let me see that's something new I never saw this before this. Do you know I just got news I was looking for a red diamond for a client it's round yes guys you don't understand this thing right now. Do you know how much this is worth I have an idea there's no more red diamonds in the world this my friend you better have it insured but still $6 million this is. I'm never going to wear it again it's going back in the bank and nobody nobody you

you need guard you. This is worth more than all my watches. You come on there. No, that was a red uh. Oh, sorry, I forgot you got so many colored diamonds, a whole another Stratosphere. Let's keep going. I'm going to keep going right here. I'm at 355 on my calculator. 10,000. 10,000. Hold on. 365. 15,000. 15,000. 5,000. 5,000. That's it. Yeah, wow. I've never seen that. What cut's that heart? Heart? No, no. It's a trillion. That's a trillion. I've never seen this cut. This might be the first trillion we've seen on the channel. Trivia for you. Trillions are often used on the side of emerald cuts or radiant cuts on side stones to step them down, and they also use the trapezoids, right? Yes. So how am I doing? Doing very well. Doing good. They make earrings too, earrings pendant, pendants. AB, absolutely great. Great cut. A lot of people don't carry them. We have.

Everything I've never seen that before. The other thing about these is they are visually always way bigger than their carrot weight. Very true. So you know you can get a one karat that looks like a Two karat interesting because of the shape. They're thin and long. Yeah, keep going. All right, here we go adding more 10,000 10,000 keep them going. Yeah, just keep keep piling them on 15,000 15,000. It's crazy when you think about it. I mean this is nuts. So Patrick, 10,000 question for you. Let me add the 10,000. These are absolutely identical in every regard to an earth grow identical. They're exactly the same. The only difference is the speed it takes to grow them. The only differences between ones from the ground one's from a laboratory but identical identical identical identical. How do the people that certify these and I know these are all certified Stones right so how do the people that certify them know the difference between the two they have to put them into a

special machine, and the special machine will tell you which ones are lab-grown versus natural or Earth-grown. Interesting, right? Yeah, but you visually cannot tell. You cannot see. Crazy. I've been doing this 45 years. I can look at a lab-grown diamond. I can look at it with my microscope, my jeweler's loop. There's no way I can tell it's lab-grown. Zero. They're identical. It's crazy. And you know, you don't have to dig holes in the ground and potentially do bad things to people. I mean, people die in mines, right? There's a lot of bad things that go with some Earth-growns. But so right here, we're still not even half. $420,000 compared to what are you laughing at? You, my calculating, compared to a million, right? Compared to a million. Okay, so we're going to go to another case and keep filling this up, keep filling up. We're going to try and get to a million. Go for it. Okay, what's this one and what's this? So this one was 650. How

much was this one um this one was 35. I mean to to my tradesman's eyes Layman's eyes, it looks the same. What is that ridiculous looking thing on your finger? Oh, that's that's 35 Kat ridiculous right now. It's one of it's one of the biggest round Stones available right now. And this is natural obviously. No, no, no, no, no. This is lab grown. That if that was natural, it' be a couple of million dollars. Yeah, and I wouldn't be woring it. It's lab grown. That's crazy. But you could you could get your hand chopped off for that just the same as if it was ex exactly. But you could also get your hand chopped off if it was a CZ as well. That's also true. So how how much is that 90,000 for 35 Kat 35 Kat 90,000. What color is it? It's e vs Clarity, yeah, yeah. You think about that 90 grand and these two are turn it straight the camera can see it there we

too heavy. Look at that million bucks. 90 grand. Keep them coming, Patrick. Fine, fine. Should we go down here or should we go anywhere you like? Let's go down 'cause it's going to be easier to carry. I'll take the light. El, can you manage it? I think so. Okay, all right. So I have the calculator. I'm just going to start pulling these out, guys. I want to tell you something. Uh-oh. I don't really always carry a calculator. I've got to be honest. He's lying. And I don't always wear sunglasses either. Those are the most ridiculous sunglasses I've ever seen. Are they lab-grown as well? Those are all lab-grown. That's why I'm wearing them. Let me guess. Let me guess. I'm going to guess. I don't know. 20 G, 15, 15. And if that was natural, it would be. I know a million dollars for sure. Yeah, you wouldn't wear them. No, no. Look at this dude. I did say to him before we walked in, I was like, I wonder if Patrick is

going to be even more insane completely crazy in the last video. People say I'm crazy. I'm not crazy, guy. This is very, very tame. You've tamed, you've tamed down though, like your style has definitely had a little bit of a quietening down of late. People have been calling you out in the comments for... Yeah, but I mean Vegas now. So look at the shoes. I mean, the shoes are even those. They're not that wild. They're wild. Remember those Winkle Pickers you used to wear with the still? Yeah, exactly like that. I do like that. Just got it. That's very nice. Very Vegas, right? Very Vegas. Yours is far most Mark mine. Very Vegas too. Oh my goodness. Yeah, CU. I'm in Vegas. I got to be. I got to do it right. All right. All right. Here we go. Where's my calculator? Go ahead. 10 grand. Silly really when you think about 20 grand. 20 grand. 8 grand. Eight. Right now we're at 458. We're not even halfway. I feel sorry for these

necklaces that are just like show that in comparison yeah halfway. I wonder if we're proving our point to people just yet. Oh, we got more to go. Let's just keep going. And the maintenance on these is exactly the same, identical oil changes. You don't need oil Chang, you just need the tuner, no toothbrush too, to toothbrush and water, little bit of water, soap, you're good. Yeah, they used to dip stones in ammonia for some reason, right? It was just poisoned you when you're breathing in the air, and it didn't make them any cleaner than a little bit of soap and water, right, right? It's water and in the bristles of a brush. What was the thought behind using ammonia other than to kill people and short the? They want to sell ammonia. They want to sell ammonia jewelry cleaner. Do you remember that? No. So I've also never owned a diamond, so well, that would explain it. But most people have some form of chemical to clean the diamond. I mean soap and water, something.

else I mentioned about cleaning Diamond Jewelry. Boil it, put it in hot water, and boil it. Just boil it because the boil boiling the hot water will dissolve all the scum everything that's on the back of your ring back of your bracelets. Uh, it will just it's gone. So let me ask you a question about that. So the majority of diamonds would be set in gold or platinum. Yes, boiling the jewelry would that expand that metal at all where the jewel the jewels that are set in it would get loose. No, no part of the Jew part of the jewelry cleaning process is actually putting it in boiling water during the process, but people can do it at home. Just put it in boiling water, really. Yes, won't don't put. I'm not endorsing that, guys. So if you put your fingers in boiling water to get your jewelry out and you burn yourself, his fault, not mine. Only put diamonds and boiling water. Don't put, don't put rubies, emeralds, Sapphires, and boiling water.

those are very porous, and that will draw out any uh enhancements that were in emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. Interesting. Same would go for enhanced diamonds. Exactly, exactly. You know what enhanced diamonds is? That's where they fire radiation at them, they change color. No, that is... Okay, you're going to correct me when I say this incorrectly, but I'm going to try my best. So what they do is diamonds that have like big impurities in them, they laser drilled them with minute, minute lasers, and then they fill it with some kind of silicone, or silica, right? Silica. And then you don't see that impurity anywhere near as much. Do they then heat it up so the silica then turns to a liquid and fills that cavity? You can't heat it too much because it'll come out. That's what happens when you put... But I thought silica, 'cause silica is what they add to make glass, and when you melt it, it turns liquid and then it turns see-through. So I figured that would be, but what do I know? I'm just a

camera guy, may I correct you just slightly? Please, please correct me. A lot. So, clarity enhanced diamonds means that there are cracks inside diamonds, and there's a way to fill the crack with silica, which will, when the light rays enter the diamond, it travels through the crack instead of reflecting off of the crack. Now, you can't see the crack anymore. You can boil those in water because the only way to make the silica melt is 600° water. Boiling is 212°, so there's no damage to Clarity Enhanced diamonds in boiling. None. Zero. I stand correctly. I stand correct. But green emeralds, and rubies, and opals, those are semi-precious stones. You don't want to boil those because they have they soak them in oil to make them more green. So forth. That will take it right out. Interesting. Boil. Well, we all learned something there. We did. Okay. All right. Half a million. 458,000. Keep them coming. Okay. You're going to run out of inventory. You're going to run out of

a showcase. How many know these boxes 500,000 5,000 that's a lot of diamond for 5,000. Look at that this one right yes 5,000 okay 20,000 20,000 okay so what makes this one so much more expensive then it's cuz it's so much bigger bigger right twice the size. It's also very sparkly beautiful stone right in fact this looks more sparkly than these lag R diamonds sparkle a lot. They're the same basically right they're the same they're ident a lot also depends on the cut yes right same as Earth grown Diamond the way that it's cut how it refracts the light etc etc yes 9,000 9,000 right there. I think I think you proved your point I mean I I don't need to bring any more out we're still not halfway. I me it's it's just insane comp look at this look at this I'm burying the necklaces underneath let's move this one all the

way yeah move that one out of the way. Okay, there we go. Look at that. And then look at that. So how much is here, Michael? How much? 492,000 including this one. Yeah, we'll put that back. And what if we included that big old 90 grand you said, right? Yeah. And then all the other crazy stuff that he's got on. Yeah. So when somebody comes in the store, let's say a boyfriend and girlfriend or whatever nowadays, right? And they want to buy a commitment ring. You see how politically correct I am here, an engagement ring, commitment ring. I don't know, a ring. What's the conversation between I want one that came out of the Earth or I want one that came out of a lab? They want to buy the less expensive one because it's so much bigger than what they can get in the earth-grown. A guy would come in with his fiance. She wants a ring. Would she not say I want an earth-grown one or would she want the bigger one? She would want the

bigger one always want the bigger one don't they but only you that say that right here here when when they come in they ask for a diamond right and if they know about lab-grown diamonds which most people do they said but I want a lab-grown diamond right so that's where the conversation goes right and and never do you want to sell them an earth-grown Diamond because they're more expensive and obvious you probably I want to sell them what they ask for and if yeah and if they ask for a lab-grown Diamond that's all I'm going to show them right well also wouldn't most people come in constrained by budget you know they're going to come in and they're going to say I've got 10 50 100 whatever it is but you can still buy an earth-grown diamond for that but it would be much much smaller than inferior so so that but that's what I'm saying is that you would come in you'd State the budget and then when you come and you show me oh

you can have this size diamond for 650 Grand, or you can have this size that looks basically the same for whatever you said that was MH. They're going to go, you know, oh well, if I can have this one for a tenth of the price, what is one that's, you know, bigger than this look like, still within budget? I'll take, so I'll take this, I'll take a Ferrari, I'll take a Porsche 911, and uh, six vacations, please, right exactly, yeah. And frequently, what the woman will say is when she's talking to her man and she's seeing the difference in the price, she'll say, now you can afford to buy me, uh, that real nice purse I wanted, uh, that Hermes purse, uh, or you can take me on that Rodeo Drive. They have any LA grown herbit? No, they don't, not yet, right, not yet, not yet. I bet you on some markets they do, yeah, they probably do. So that has come up in conversation, you know, crazy. Well, this has been very, very educational, uh, and a

lot of fun and come back out here let's show everybody what you look like. That's fine crazy I mean crazy wrists. Yeah, yeah I got one on here. I wear that all the time love it. It's a star. I'm a star is born. That's what happened to me when I came to Vegas. The star was born. So when you were in Chicago did you dress like this? I did not dress like this. They killed. They it just wouldn't have gone over well. They would say who's this guy you know. In Vegas this goes over really well. They expect me to be in this and and I just love it. Patrick thank you.

The Importance of Proper Jewelry Cleaning

Using ammonia to clean jewelry is unnecessary and potentially harmful, while simple soap and water are effective for cleaning.

Boiling jewelry is a common but potentially damaging method, especially for pieces with porous gemstones.

The process of enhancing diamonds involves laser drilling and filling with silica, but overheating can reverse the effects.

The Difference Between Clarity Enhanced Diamonds and Semi-Precious Stones

Clarity Enhanced diamonds have internal cracks filled with silica to improve their appearance and can safely be boiled, unlike emeralds, rubies, and opals.

The size and sparkle of Clarity Enhanced diamonds can make them more expensive, and customers may prefer them over earth-grown diamonds for their larger size.

The preference for larger stones at a lower cost is common when choosing between lab-grown and earth-grown diamonds for engagement rings.

Customers often request lab-grown diamonds due to their lower cost, leading to a preference for larger stones within budget.
