Snarf asked:


My fiance does not really have any of his own savings to put towards a ring, and he has some debt which I would much rather him pay off than save for a ring for me. So we were thinking of going the created diamond route, just so I can have something to show that we are engaged. Do you think most people can tell it is not real? Has anyone seen any of these in person? It is hard to tell the quality from the website, we would get one that is not too large to make it look more real.

This is the one we are looking at (click on enlarge to see clearly)

What do you think?
Any thoughts on this particular ring?

Sunflower asked:


Are lab created diamond engagement rings uncommon? Does it make the woman look less important to the man?

ndazone11 asked:


Im looking for a engagement ring and just got a great paying job but low on funds at this moment. Was told by a few people to just get a nice base for a ring and they keep talking about american or man made diamonds which cost less but are nicer then a regular diamond. Im new to this all and I just want to know what the diamond is called that people keep talking about?
Thanks everyone for all the info.

Ash-Rose asked:


Can anyone tell me what’s the difference between CZ and lab-created diamonds? also, which is better, natural diamonds, lab-created diamonds or CZ?

Thank you:)

marie asked:


Moissanite or lab-created diamonds (such as Nexus lab diamonds)?

I don’t want a traditional diamond, nor do I want a colored gemstone. I’m looking for something with all the qualities of diamonds, without all the negativities.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Nettie asked:


My boyfriend and I are getting engaged. We’ve been spending alot of time looking at rings and he is leaning more towards buying me a Diamond Simulant ring. Which is pretty much a man made diamond but it has all the characters of a real diamond. I know I shouldnt be picky but I dont want a fake ring. Do you think these diamonds are acceptable for engagement rings?

matt t asked:


We both have discussed marriage and I tell her I have no money to buy a wedding ring, I am flat broke. She tells me that is ok she can buy it herself and she will buy my ring too. She says she would be perfectly happy with a dominique ring, a man made diamond, that for all purposes is really a diamond. Even expert jewelers can’t tell the difference between a man made and real diamond. So I told her to go ahead and buy both her ring and my ring herself and next time we see each other I will propose to her. I feel like a bum though not having money to buy the ring. What should I do?

S asked:


My friend called me up and went on and on about her $390 1 carat diamond engagement ring, only to tell me later that it was man-made. I’m engaged as well, and my fiance and I are planning to go ring shopping soon. My friend insists I get a man-made diamond because of the cost. When I told her I’d really rather it be real and smaller, I think she felt insulted. Anyway, is it really so terrible that I want a real diamond? I would just feel that I would have to constantly explain the fact that it was man-made. My fiance feels the same way. Also, it is my birthstone and I’ve never owned any diamond jewelry. Am I being snobby for wanting it to be real?

pitachips3 asked:


If your engagement or wedding ring were synthetic diamond instead of real diamond, would you be offended? Would you not care? Would you be happy?

On a different note, would you rather have your ring be a complete surprise (and risk not liking it), or would you want to pick it out yourself?
