^^^Exactly. Honestly, there are days when I mix my diamond pieces with my CZ pieces and forget which is which!!

Or as a jeweler friend told me years ago: You buy jewelry because it's pretty and you like it. Not as an "investment."

I'm looking for pretty rings. I love rings. I have different ring sizes though for almost every finger, so for me, it's not really one size fits all. (I did hear though that they can be made smaller.) Anyhow, it just frustrates me sometimes because when it's a special occasion/birthday/holiday, I like to treat myself to a pretty diamond ring or necklace and I can't tell them from the CZ ones. I love CZ, I have quite a few peices, but on special occasions or holidays I tend to perfer real diamonds.

I see this idea a lot, and it is interesting, because it assumes that someone who has a particular amount of money is "something to be," a belief or concept that may be more prevalent among people who have the particular amount of money than among those who do not!

As a bona fide Poor Person, I can affirm that Prada's jeweler friend sums up my own simple Faux Bling Purchasing thought process very accurately!:supacool:

Fake is when you rip off another design of a person and pass it off as your own. Stones themselves are not fake they are just different.

I know, I just don't know the word....like what you call jewelry (Not CZ, but not real gold, is what I mean.) that's "faux" gold. I don't think I'm using the right word, sorry if I say, "fake" but I don't really know what word to use.
