nir Rough Rock Total Posts: 3 Last Post: 2/19/2004 Member Since: 2/19/2004	Hi, My girl and I were talking about diamond rings, and I mentioned that I once heard that some people that purchase expensive rare rings, have imitation look alikes made as well, and they ware the imitations while put the real thing in a safe to eliminate risks. Is this a myth, or has anyone heard of such as well...? Thanks in advance, NIR

That is likely far more common than having a "real" one tucked away some place. Honestly I look at jewelry like I do guns if your not going to use them and enjoy them what’s the point in having them? I guess im just not the type to have things for the sake of having things if I cant enjoy them. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

It might be kind of neat to have look-alikes that I don't have to worry about losing in the ocean or to an islander somewhere. Now I just leave them home in my safe deposit box, just as I leave my guns at home locked in the gun safe. Doesn't mean I don't use and appreciate them, but sometimes they are not practical to have along. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ jackieblue "Our happiness or unhappiness depends more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves." - Alexander Humboldt

That is a little different situation because you normaly wear the "real" set. That said wouldnt a simple gold band for those type of vacations be more practical? :} ...........

Plus if I had the money, I'd get the ring in cheaper version and various colors! The more merrier! "Sometimes it's OK to throw rocks at girls...as long as they sparkle! " Nicrez, G.G., A.J.P.
