I have a diamond heart pendant that is real but the majority of my ‘diamond’ necklaces are CZs & I get plenty of compliments on my costume jewelry!

Do you have a fake tennis 1

DH took me to buy a real tennis necklace but I convinced him to buy lab grown, it looks exactly the same and I thought it was a waste of money. The very high end jeweler said a lot of his very wealthy clients are doing lab grown because they’re the ones who can wear anything and everyone will think it’s real Wink

it's a real diamond, just cultivated in an artificial environment (unlike CZ which is a totally different stone, lab grown diamonds are identical chemically to mined diamonds..)

I have a very tiny mined diamond by the yard necklace.

I have a lab diamond solitaire and a lab bar necklace.

All real gold. I consider lab real.

I don't do fake like cz or gold plated. I'd rather get something smaller than something I consider fake.

I’m not sure I follow her logic. Because many buy her fake one she assumes the real jewelry store is not selling any? They don’t seem to be going out of business so seems to me they are selling real diamond jewelry too.

I wrote yes but it's not a tennis necklace, it's a bar. And I also have a real diamond necklace for weekday which is a cluster. the rest of my jewelry is not anything special.

I suppose it's more like "enough people are buying lab or fake that any one person you see is more likely to be wearing non-mined than not."

Sure, some people are still wearing mined, but enough other people aren't that that's where a viewer's mind will jump.

How would she know that? Does she know how many people are buying real? She only sees her store. Stores selling real diamonds are very busy, I always see many people there.

I got pearls at my wedding and they were completely out of style a year or two later. Sitting in my drawer. Don’t own any real necklaces.

Pearls are never out of style and I see lots of pearls in jewelry stores.

Mm, disagree. In my days and in my chassidish circles, kallahs were given perk necklaces in the yichud room and married women all wore them Friday night. Today you don't really see perls that much, not Friday nights and not any other time.

Pearls don't go well with the type of dresses that have been in fashion the past few years. I like pearls, but I can't think how many times I've taken them out, and looked in the mirror, and decided that they just don't look right. With suits, and more formal styles beginning to come back into fashion,I think we might see a revival of pearls, as well.

Googled the tennis and this isn't something I see around. I'd want real for engagement. Other? Whatever as long as it looks good and everyone in the couple agreed.

My sister in law is very wealthy and has almost all fake jewelry and everyone thinks it’s real 😅 she doesn’t wear diamonds though. She has very cool, different taste.

I'm very trendy and wear my kallah pearls all the time. Looks great with slip dress and cardigans\cropped tops. Dh bought me a diamond necklace and I returned it cuz like pearls so much better. The strand is short (so doesn't hang low) with very big pearls .

cubic zirconia?
moissanite?
lab diamonds?
mined diamonds?

brass?
silver?
gold plated?
vermeil?
gold filled?
solid gold? 10k? 14k? 18k? 24k?
Platinum?
