All comments are so true, especially if they are too big etc.
But, I swear if the person is extreemly wealthy and you know that, I guarantee that it is difficult to id a fake diamond.
Because my dh has a jewellry store, people who know me, assume anything I wear is real. And I dont lie, but I love educating people too that often we are enjoying the idea of the diamond in our mind rather than seeing reality. I mean, I had friends getting really sick over glass.....and they would admit that they had been eyeing my bling the whole time or something.
And alternatively, once I wore a 4 c. emerald diamond, it was pretty perfect and real......every one thought it was fake???? That I couldnt get over, and I was glad not to have bought it!
My sister has real 4c. of diamond studs and they do look somewhat fake. And they were not bought with too much budget restriction either.
So I am leaving the jury open on this topic. But I will say that a new cz or fake will look real only until it ages which is usually pretty fast due to it scratching and fogging up. Also setting is sometimes a giveaway!
Just for the record, I think alot of what we admire in fashion is a bit of an illusion! And I understand that you cant possibly buy everything you could ever want, well most of us! And the fake stuff lets you road test the item to see if it really would be worth owning the real deal!!!
And deep down I am simply a bling hungery, effected by shrinkage, greedy diamond addict!!!
