Wednesday, my husband and I went shopping and I saw a gorgeous necklace (sapphire and diamond) that I made sure he knew I liked.

Thursday, he came home from work with a present for me and I was certain it was that beautiful necklace. To my shock and surprise, it was a different necklace! Looked nothing like the one I had seen the day prior! I asked him why he got me this one and he said it was because my face lit up when I first saw it, but that’s wrong because I’ve never seen that particular necklace before. And I would have been ok with it but this necklace was just plain hideous. Anyway, we got into an argument and I told him I didn’t want it.

This morning, he brought me breakfast in bed with flowers, and I found the necklace that I actually wanted around my neck (Somehow he managed to put it on my neck while I was still sleeping). He told me that he went back to the jewelery salon and asked the sales woman which one we had looked at and tried on the other day. I was so disappointed when he said that because I was expecting him to say he remembered which one ACTUALLY made my face lit up. Why are men so inconsiderate?

Natural Diamonds v.s. Man Made Diamonds?

What is the word used for a man made diamond? I’m not talking about Cubic Zirconiums (CZ’s), and i’m not too sure what Moissanite is.

I am looking for a cheaper alternative for a wedding ring. I want a real diamond. Not a CZ or anything fake. But i have heard that there are man made diamonds that are real… meaning they have the same structure and are made of the same thing as natural diamonds…. and they’re supposidly cheaper.

Also what is the difference between the man made Diamonds and natural Diamonds? Quality?

And what should i look out for when buying a real man made diamond, making sure that i get exactly that and not a CZ or sapphire or something like that?

Also, with a man made diamond does it show that it is real when the jewlers use those little hand held diamond detector things? Sorry, I’m not sure what they are called. But I’m sure someone knows what I’m talking about. [ I think that they determine whether or not the stone conducts heat when the tip of the hand held doo-dad is applied , and if it shows that the stone does conduct heat then it is determined to be a diamond. Correct me if I'm wrong.]

I would really appreciate it if someone could answer all of my questions, i have a lot of them and i just wanna do some research before i go out and buy a man made diamond only to find out its not what i want. Thank you so much!
