Is it worth buying created or simulated diamonds? Which gold to buy?
If you cannot afford a real diamond ring will those or cubic zirconia last? Or will they start turning ugly after a while? Do they look fake? And do you know which gold is good to buy? I don’t know the difference between the carats.
The problem with CZ or other synthetics is that it’s easy to buy one so large as to look obviously fake: it oughtta be obvious that you can’t afford a one-carat (with a ‘c’, a unit of weight used for gemstones) diamond, so when you show up with a one-carat CZ, everyone will know it’s fake without a degree in gemology.
Beyond that, a CZ or other synthetic will last about as long as a regular diamond.
Things are changing fast in the diamond business, though. “Real” diamonds are now being manufactured in laboratories, and there’s evidence that the price of ‘mined’ diamonds have been kept very high through the years by de Beers, who simply keeps them hoarded in their vaults. Nobody knows what would happen if these were released on the market all at once.
As for gold, the karat (with a ‘k,’ an indication of the purity of the gold) count is not all that important. About the least-pure gold you can get in the US is 10K, which is 10/24 pure and looks just fine in class rings and men’s jewelry. Don’t fool with 20K or higher, it just costs more to no particular advantage.
Let good taste rule your choice of jewelry. Small stones, attractively mounted, are the goal these days.
And remember, a fine-quality mount can make up for a lower-priced stone–and a fine-quality woman makes up completely for a low-priced ring.
