Moissanite is a good lab grade alternative and has a much higher brilliance. It’s not cheap, so if the symbolism of price is what you are after without most of the diamond bullshit, it’s got you covered. (It’s silicon carbine and rare in nature; still much cheaper than diamonds though.)
Stay away from natural ones (if you can even get them?) as they may be found as a byproduct of diamond mining. Otherwise, you are just going to find grains of it from meteorites. (That’s just a quick summary; there is a bit more to them so do your research.)
Based choice, defeating greed with science 💪
