Another option is to remove a restriction on a current forum such as "Jewelry Pieces".

Im am liking the catch all phrase:
"All Else That Glitters"
All that Glitters.
It implies inclusiveness, not segregation.
Plus it's got the nod to the quote/song "all that glitters is/isn't gold.."

I think one difficult thing about creating a forum like this is that someone who bought a lab diamond, for instance for an ER, may not like discussing their lab created diamond (same material as original) in the same forum as synthetics (other material than the original) because it implies that lab created should be considered the same as synthetics (=lower quality/status/fake/etc). Not sure how to solve that issue though, other than allowing lab stones in smtb/rt/cs.
"Synthetic" does not mean other material than the original. Synthetic = lab grown, same material as original. e.g. A synthetic ruby is corundum.
"Imitation" means other material than the original. e.g. An imitation ruby could be glass or anything else.
I like simply - "Fabulous Faux".
If you make it too wordy, you lose the light hearted "we know what we're talking about" cool snappy eye wink feeling. Just "Fabulous Faux".
I would opt for, "Tchotchkes"
These are trinkets, old things, old jewelry, just all this stuff.
From Merriam-Webster:
"many words for "miscellaneous objects" or "nondescript junk" decorate our language. Knickknack,doodad,gewgaw, and whatnotare some of the more common ones. While many such words are of unknown origin, we know that tchotchke comes from the Yiddish tshatshke of the same meaning, and ultimately from a now-obsolete Polish word, czaczko.Tchotchke is a pretty popular word these days, but it wasn't commonly used in English until the 1970s."
It also has some Brooklyn/New York flair to it, and given that NY is still the biggest origin of jewelry in the US...
Could you tell me a little more about what you mean here, Ana? I am not sure I understand exactly what you are saying. Sorry.

Running a general Google search for 'all that glitters' brings up quite a few things that are not at all related to jewelry.
