The shower and the gym are two different risks
One threatens the ring, the other threatens the stone. What actually happens to a diamond ring in water and under impact.
Cheaper reads as lesser
Production capacity grew faster than demand. What that did to lab-grown prices, and what it did not do to the stone.

Hardest doesn't mean unbreakable
Hardness measures scratching. Toughness measures breaking, and diamond only rates good. Where that shows up on a ring.
