How many of us can really afford to wear real diamonds, of good quality and cut. I just have one ring and all the rest are fake diamonds which glitter as much as the original. I feel equally happy wearing the fakes as the originals. What about you guys.

Your lucky that you even have one real diamond...I don't really have one, but come to think I'm not really interested in diamonds or jewelries and stuff. happy

One of your plus points. I like jewellery, though I do not make them unless there is a big occassion in the family. Good luck.

I don't think fakes could ever take the place of real diamonds. Yes, I can't afford them, but I can still dream about getting a lot of them one day. thumbupthumbup


myLot reputation of 89/100. ketybhagat (1798)   ranked 1,755 out of 38,039 in life  11 months ago

Fakes will be fakes but still enjoy wearing them. Hope you get lots of real diamonds in life to fulfill your desire.

I don’t even have one…
Diamonds have always been the privilege and possession of the rich and royals. It was only I think DeBeers and Nakshatra entered the Indian market full-fledged that diamonds entered the drawing room of the middleclass thru TV ads. Those ads inspired me too and I wanted to buy one ring for myself, either a solitaire or a cluster but even then, the prices were beyond my means. However, now that urge has diminished and I no longer want one. The basic thing is if you have a diamond, it should be worth showing off…no point in buying those dust particle sized ones, which most brands advertise nowadays.


myLot reputation of 89/100. ketybhagat (1798)   ranked 1,755 out of 38,039 in life  11 months ago

Yes, its only with these TV ads that the desire arose for me too. However, I did not buy this ring. It was gifted to me by a very old man for he looked upon me like a daughter. But as you say, dust sized diamonds have not much resale value and its better not to go in for such. Thanks.

Actually, diamonds has many different specifications. Some are affordable and the other are not. It all depends on which kind of diamond you want and how much money you can make. Anyway, i always think a real one is better than fake one. I won't buy a fake one to my girlfriend rather than not give her diamond.


myLot reputation of 89/100. ketybhagat (1798)   ranked 1,755 out of 38,039 in life  11 months ago

Yes, no sense in actually buying a diamond ring if its fake for gifting purposes. Diamonds are of so many cuts and grades, it is out of our reach, the really nice ones, but then like I said, Im happy with my fakes too. Thanks.


Vincent129 (91)   ranked 16,076 out of 38,039 in life  11 months ago

Absolutely, fake one is also nice and beautiful if good-looking.

How can you tell the real from the fakes?;-) Their value or flawlessness? I have a couple bought from prestigious stores and some from just plain store but they claim these are diamonds. I can see my engagement ring to be most flawless from the rest but its not really that big. And I have fakes but yes wearing the real and fakes ones just as much give you the same feeling.;-)


myLot reputation of 89/100. ketybhagat (1798)   ranked 1,755 out of 38,039 in life  11 months ago

Actually we as laymen cannont differentiate the fakes from real, but the jewellers will be able to. Besides there are a lot of flaws in a real diamond. Good luck with your engagement. Yep, you are like me. Who cares if they are fakes. We enjoy wearing them and that counts. Cheers.

I'm not really much into jewelry. While I would be thrilled to have some real diamonds (I only have my wedding set), I'm just as happy with costume jewelry. It's easier to follow the fashion trends too. I know people who purchased a lot of gold stuff in the 80s but now never wear it because it's out of style. There are commercials on TV about places that will buy your "unwanted gold" jewelry. Besides, I don't really go anywhere fancy enough to be wearing diamonds and designer things anyway.


myLot reputation of 89/100. ketybhagat (1798)   ranked 1,755 out of 38,039 in life  11 months ago

Actually these days even if you have jewellery, its not safe to wear them, even for occassions. Id rather wear fakes and go. A whole wedding set is great and must be gorgeous. Gold is just a way of investment for bad times, I feel. We dont spend it off as money in hand. Cheers.

I am not into jewelry very much. I do not have any real diamonds. I cannot afford them and would not waste money on them.


myLot reputation of 89/100. ketybhagat (1798)   ranked 1,755 out of 38,039 in life  11 months ago

Yes, I too got it as a gift from a very old man who treated me like a daughter and that too on my sons navjote, a ceremony like baptism. I too cant afford them and am equally delighted with the fakes. Thanks.

All that glitters are not gold. Your dimond is also like so.I have also a ring with a fake dimond.It also glitter like a real dimond. So what?It glitters.That's enough for me.I'm not a king and you are also not a queen.We have no crown.Our dimonds are fake.But we are not fake king or queen.Our homes are paradise like.That always glitters.


myLot reputation of 89/100. ketybhagat (1798)   ranked 1,755 out of 38,039 in life  11 months ago

Actually I could not afford a real diamond. It was gifted to me by a very old man who considers me as his daughter and th at too on my sons navjote (janoy ceremony) My fakes shine as much as the real ones and gives me equal pleasure. Yes, I think having a good heart is better than any glittering diamond or home. Th anks.

I don't like any type of jewellry including diamonds. They say that diamonds are a girl's best friend. since I am a man, thats why they are not my best friend up till now. I prefer to be free from any ear rings and any type of jewellry including watches.

So typically male. Enjoy your freedom from such desires.

happythumbup Its just not saf e to wear real diamonds anymore with all the crime. I know alot of people who leave them in the jewelry box's and do so because they do not want to get robbed....so its something to consider. I dont wear alot of jewelry and most of what I have, I have had for a very long time....


myLot reputation of 89/100. ketybhagat (1798)   ranked 1,755 out of 38,039 in life  11 months ago

Oh yes, with the crime rate up, its just not possible to wear real jewellery, diamonds or gold. I too have a very pretty fake set which I usually wear to functions. Better safe than sorry.
