    Indeed, several synthetic varieties of gems are available, but I
    don't sell them, have no intentions of selling them and, most
    importantly my customers don't want them. There is plenty of room in
    this world to sell both. I don't feel that synthetics will ever hurt
    my business. I also don't feel that natural stones are being mined
    out of existence. There are plenty of sources that have yet to be
    discovered.

    My analogy is not with cultured pearls vs natural pearls but with
    Louis Vuitton handbags and Rolex watches. Although there are
    numerous sources for imitations for Vuitton and Rolex, THEIR
    customers are NOT the ones interested in purchasing these cheap
    knockoffs. They are two different markets for two different
    customers.
