Real Diamonds Or Fake Diamonds What is it for you ? ;-)

If I have a diamond, I want it to be real. I got a gold band when we got married - matched bands. But, when we had been married around 20 years, my husband gave me a 1carat diamond engagement ring. It will probably be the only one I ever have, so I do cherish that. If people know what to look for, they surely can detect a fake diamond. They do not sparkle like a real diamond under light.

Every girl wants a real Diamond, but honestly it doesn't matter to me as long as I get a ring. A wedding is something very special, if a man wants to marry me,it better be a Diamond,hehe well not always, but it comes from the heart so I don't think it should matter, as long as it's no completely fake.

We do not have diamonds, either of us.Or even gemstones. We have silver bands. Hubby wore his out that matches mine.I got him a plain one for now. We would like to go to South Dakota, and while there pick out some Black Hills Gold rings. I like crystals and stones, but do not have much call to wear them. I guess it just depends on what we are buying. I do not have to have name brand designer clothes, but I have found that I need name brand, real leather, well constructed shoes, not for the name value, but because they decrease the pain in my feet and in my knees and legs. I used to do Pay Less, and Wal Mart, but they did not wear well or feel good. I guess shoes are more of an indulgence for me than jewelry. The other real thing I like to wear is a real smile.

It depends. If I can't get real diamond might as well I don't get a fake one. If I can't get real gold, might as well I don't get a fake one. Doesn't mean I am material girl or anything, I just don't want to spend time, money or energy for something that is not worth what I spend. This way if someone asks is it real, I don't have to lie about it. I'll save lying for more important things :) If it's something I use regularly like household stuffs I don't mind buying them at dollar store, what is the point buying $5 dish washing sponge if you can get it at $ 1 and throw it away after a month use?

I guess everybody wants the real thing. I want it too, but oh well, I can't afford it. For me, it's not a question of wanting it, it's a question of affording it. Sigh. Good for you, your hubby is generous enough and romantic enough to give you the real thing. I know, I'm a practical person as well, I'd rather spend on something not so expensive but looks good as well. But well, your hubby sure knows how to express his love (*wink). I'm sure my wedding band didn't cost my ex-hubby more than $100, my! He never even gave me an engagement ring! Other girls can be so lucky...

i enjoy wearing stuffs that are glittering and very catchy to the eyes. But I rather not buy real diamonds.its pretty too expensive and costly. im just being practical with the present economy status. someday if the right guy will give me a golden real diamond ring, he's gonn abe the prince charming of my life.Diamonds are real womens bestfriend. You look rich, just by wearing any real diamonds on your body, but for now i just stick with the fake one.... =)

I just like anything that sparkles, i have so much of what they now call bling, sometimes i think that bling seems to sparkle more than diamonds, it would be nice to have diamonds but that is not an option for a lot of people.

honestly, i dont really care at all. i dont care if its real or not because i really like to change up my jewellry a lot (i get bored of the same thing all the time) so i like variety and if its fake, i can change it around alot.

Of course I will always go for real. It's a good investment after all. And my husband does the same as yours. He would never give me anything fake. A gift for him is something that should last forever. And diamonds are forever! But I have nothing against fancy jewelry. They are also good for every day use. In fact there are those that really look genuine and can be used to fake people around. Ha!ha!ha! Especially the snatchers out there. But they are fake so they fade and after a while they are for disposal. Once you add up the money you used to buy all those cheaper fake ones you will realize that it could buy you even at least one real one. How is it? Do you think I am right?

For me real fake. lol I like zirconias. They are fun to wear and I do not have to worry about losing the stone or anything like that.

I would say depends on what you can afford. Its nice to have the real thing, of course...but then again, if it will cause you financial hardship and miseries later on in life, not to mention the risk that it can put your life into (I'm talking of break-ins, burglary, hold-ups etc), maybe you can settle for the second best. I'd also say, depends on your lifestyle. If your social calendar is always full of big parties and you're rubbing elbows with the high rollers, then of course, you have to be in the same level. But if you're just an ordinary girl leading a very simple, ordinary life...to have a real diamond for me, will definitely sound impractical. Especially nowadays, even top-paid celebrities are sometimes wearing "costume jewelleries (fancy bling-blings) whenever they're attending big events and galas.

Hey walkthetalk! I refuse to wear any jewelry that is fake. I will only wear real diamonds and real gold. I don't like silver but will wear it on occasion if it's sterling, but I basically hardly ever wear it. If there is a nice piece like I have a really nice cat watch that has 2 fake diamonds for eyes that I will wear because I love the watch. It is a Gruen watch and I bought it because if is unique looking and I love cats! I just am not comfortable wearing fake diamonds even if they look real. I have seem some that look more real than the real ones. It's just not for me.

With the recession that's happening around the world, I don't care whether it's a fake or not. It does not matter to me at all. It's better to be fake on material things than to other things.

Well I know if it is up to me I prefer to go the cheap route. With my husband he feels that if we have the extra money then he gets it. To me it does not matter about fake or real as long as it comes from someone you care about and love. That way you know it came from the heart. My wedding ring is not real and I know it. We did not have very much money at all at that point so I am happy with what I have. I know for my sister-in-law she keeps changing her wedding sets I think now she has gotten like 3 different ones now.

I don't mind wearing real or fake. As long as I like it, I'll wear it. I'll even tell everyone how fake it is. I just want to wear it because it looks good on me.

I really don't care. Well, I take that back. I do care. I care about NOT spending too much money. With the horrible price of diamonds and gold these days, I cannot see a reason to part with the money. Nope. I'll take fake. I guess when you get older, your "friends" would never dream of asking if it's real or fake, so that's not an issue. I wear the jewelry that I like. And I do LOVE rings. Sometimes, that means I buy a pretty Avon ring...and you'd be surprised at the number of people who ask where I got it.

Hello What is that saying there is nothing better than the real thing . I believe that each and every girl wants atleast a real diamond engagement ring . Mine is a real diamond and I also have the circle necklace of diamonds . Those are the only 2 real pieces of jewelery I have . I would one day love to get white gold hoop earrings . My earrings now are just silver and they dont last very long . I think it might be a good idea to invest in something real and have it around for a longer time . Sometimes , with diamonds they look real when they are fake , but just look at the band . Some of those real big rings that are huge and so many carrots look fact to me actually . The other day at the ball park a lady had a ring that took up half her finger and was wearing a holed up pooh bear shirt and that made me think !

I would not say that I have to have the best. I have worn both, however now it is the real thing for me.

I tend to lose everything so I prefer fake. I've lost a lot of expensive jewelry so I'll stick with the fake stuff.

It depends on how much your looking to spend and how responsible you are....If your young, fake diamonds are the way to go...If you are more mature then if you can afford it real=]
