bunni asked:


ok i wanna get this straight, people are saying that all red, blue, black, yellow diamonds are lab created and that they arent really natural

so does that mean that all people that have fancy colored diamonds means there fake?

so do they really add color in diamonds to make more money because they are fancy colored? or is this just a myth

vxt88 asked:


This question is for the ladies specifically. I heard about this company called life gem that creates synthetic diamonds out of any carbon source i.e. dead loved one, or pet. Well they also make diamonds using a lock of hair. Well If your fiance gave you an engagement ring made from his hair would you like the idea of it. Would it freak you out? Would you love it?

Diamonds?

Heath S asked:


Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth’s orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

Due May 17, 2009! asked:


I have a 2ct synthetic diamond ring. I also have one that is 1.5ct. I want to switch the stones. Both rings have a simple 4-prong setting. Can I just bend back the prongs, put in the diamond, and bend it back?

ColtsR#1 asked:


I’ve a 14KT gold ring with what looks like garnets and diamonds in it. It is Art Deco and was given to my grandmother as an engagement ring in 1927. In a loupe I can see air bubbles in the red stones. Does this mean they are synthetic?
Well you all certainly disagree! The Antiques Roadshow is coming to town next month, and I will definately take it in to see what the experts say. Thanks!
