Human made jewels

Cubic zirconia and laboratory made rubies,emeralds and sapphires. Would receiving one of these as a gift mean less to you then if it was the genuine thing? If so, why?

I don’t think it matters. Unless somebody lied and said it was a genuine article while it was actually a fake and they knew it. That would be the one time it would matter.

I would say the artificially made ones are cooler. I don't anticipate being given any gems as gifts though

I can't imagine someone giving you a gift and it wasn't to your standards. Someone put energy and effort into it. It's beautiful.

My brother is super into hunting gems and stones and he currently has some opal he has finished polishing(he didn't hunt the opal, he is just part of a community and he got some). You want me to get a piece for you?

I once knew a place where kids rode bikes in the 80s that had amethyst crystals, not large or super nice but still impressive ones, that you could just pick out of the dirt.
Then one day they blew it up with dynamite and build a prison right over it.
I've had several friends do time there since.

I think diamonds that don't include human rights violations are cooler.

I like real ocean pearls because of how rare they are, not like a farmed pearl
