I think ‘every single person’ is just a figure of speech, to express that tooo many people have it. Please don’t b offended and just take this thread lightly, as intended 
The Revlon version was not a fake…it was a collaboration with Cartier, as I said. It said “Revlon” on it and was obviously approved by Cartier.
I didn’t say I couldn’t afford a “real” one…I said I wouldn’t want one. Big difference.
What year was the “inspired” collab?The Revlon version was not a fake…it was a collaboration with Cartier, as I said. It said “Revlon” on it and was obviously approved by Cartier.

I never understood this too (upgrade engagement Diamond size). I thought the whole idea of engagement ring is to remember the love and gesture from fiancé. If you change the centre stone, wouldn’t you jus be throwing all that memory away? I don’t get it lol.
Very much agree with absolutely against fakes. Trust me, the people who know, know. They could be from mining or jewelry industry. They could tell from conversation distance and you’ll be forever identified a fake in their circle.
Nah.
The super fakes that comes out of China are IDENTICAL to the real deal.
So unless they have a loupe and look at the stones and the hallmarks that carefully, they have zero clues.
I know it is disheartening to think but it is the honest truth
If I had that much money.
There are jewelry even in Japan that uses the same material like vca… gold, gemstone and even the quality. The only difference is the legit code. Jewelries are not like bags. People would not scrutize like they do with bags. They wont look underneath the ring or bother with a loupe. What they will wanna know is if it was real gold or not. Diamond or cz. You should see the inspired jewelries that ive seen in live selling. They look really amazing! Probably the difference could be the weight of the gold too. But even then those who make the fake can make it weigh more.Nah.

I follow a forum elsewhere and even the weight is the same.
Incredible.
Not sure if this is unpopular, but I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't buy anything that can flip over - so necklaces and bracelets that clearly have a backside and the front that's supposed to be showing. That includes all stones and diamonds that have been inserted into a gold or silver background. I just get so annoyed when I look into the mirror and my pretty lil' diamond is facing my neck and not the world. Goddammit with these wandering pieces.
So for my sanity, I should stick with jewelry that doesn't have a "wrong side". Pearls and chains that can't flip over. Rings and watches can be trusted to stay in place too. VCA Alhambra and most pendants are just not for me.

Eh, whenever I post in this thread, I scroll back and invariably, I’ve posted the opposite and changed my mind a zillion times. But I have to say I love reading everyone’s contributions
so, I wish I could see some sentimental value to engagement rings, but DH never liked my first one (it was a hand me down from my MIL when she upgraded, and it was meant to be a stand in until we had the wherewithal and the idea for a more personal one down the road). I’ve lost a few since, and DH mistakenly threw out an engagement sapphire with newspapers one year. so I took to wearing a travel eternity band for a while. I also had some older family stones made into rings in case I felt like wearing that style. Then DH said he loved the idea of me wearing a Bulgari serpenti on either the pinky or ring finger better. So, now the other rings sit in the box.
i hate jewelry that moves and flips (but I love a vintage aquamarine pendant pin that does just that. And I wear my bracelets super large bc I like pushing them back when I type and bc it makes me feel thinner.
i love real jewelry and fashion jewelry. I will never own any carved chalcedony from Suzanne Belperrons licensed stuff by Verdura Belperron simply bc the stuff I love is 500K and up, so I adore my KJL legal inspired pieces.
i think The rules dont matter. Basically you do whatever works with your aesthetic. Last night I wore all my favorites (bulgari, Verdura Belperron plus a Foundrae chain and the pendant. I was going to wear a leopard coat with a big rhinestone pin too, but I decided I would get too warm. Then the serpenti bracelet (forgot to put on the viper ring that day) instead of a wedding or engagement ring, and the pins mixed with VCA necklace
i do agree with @lill_canele re VCA rock crystal, though I have a TPF friend who has the 20 motif RC and it looks great on her

sorry, OOT. Just wanted to say amazing ear climber earrings! Badass and elegant at the same time.
Thank you, the corne design by Suzanne Belperron, licensed reproduction by Verdura Belperron, is possibly a 1930’s design
I love that back then she wanted to do a faux multi piercing
it is the first piece of jewelry I’ve ever tried on that DH thought immediately we are walking out with that
Yes for cheaper price. Although it can be expensive though not as expensive as the original. I also know from saudi they sell the perfect fake with a much higher fee than other fakes because it was mirror copy and materials are gold and diamonds too. Everything can be faked now so it makes buying online challenging.
