Would your friends laugh at you if you wore a fake diamond?

[jeaniefish]

I tried viewing it but the video is so shaky it made me reach for the dramamine
Looks large and blingy and beautifully cut from what I could tell
Thanks, but still wanting to hear from any AV Asscher cut owners out there.

I do wear some faux stones and no one cares. I buy them when I'm thinking about trying something out, and have found 9 times out of 10 that I don't go through with it. So I'm perfectly happy with my faux tennis bracelet and many faux earrings. Bags, nah. I carry a coach wristlet wallet and that's it. I would never call someone out, and I'm sure strangers probably thing my real bling is fake anyway.

My friends laugh at me for being obsessed with real diamonds. They would laugh even more if I started wearing simulants.

I think my friends would laugh at me too.

 

[dk168]

I don't believe any of them would care to be honest.

No..Mine wouldn’t laugh at all…One wears almost exclusively costume jewelry. She always looks wonderfully put together. The other one wears the same real jewelry all the time..She sleeps and showers with them. The other one is a minimalist. She only wears costume earrings and a simple gold band. I get a fish eye from her even though I tone it down when I get together with them. They’re just not into jewelry.

nope most of my friends wouldnt know the difference...I get more compliments on my blue mossiante ring than any other piece of "real" jewelry I own

this is one of my favorite rings...it is set in 14K white gold with 0.47 in diamond accents...I have a thread on here somewhere....

Blue moissanite ring!

I am loving this ring, I got it in June this year, I wear this as a hand ring, my ring size is a 8 on my left hand, this is sized to a 8.5. It's a blue moissanite 7mm with hints of green it in it, beautiful stone, I picked up the setting at a local jewelers, 14K white gold with a total diamond...

Mama, You need to find some new friends...

if i got to meet DF and he was wearing a fake diamond i would cry !

 

[Piper70]

I bought a Pucci bag this spring and my husband asked if it was a fake Gucci having to do with dogs. Poochie?? Hahaha
He was not familiar with Emilio Pucci.

 

[Lookinagain]

I don't have any fake diamonds, or counterfeit handbags, or copies of anything designer. Just not my thing. But I don't think any of my friends would know one way or the other unless I told them. And if I did have fake/counterfeit stuff they wouldn't typically care except some would care about the counterfeit aspect of it, which isn't really something I, or they would support.

 

[lambskin]

If they laughed, they wouldn't be very nice friends, would they?

Friends don’t laugh at you, rather friends laugh with you.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

They wouldn't care at all!!!

One of my friends has fake diamonds and these gigantic fake pearl earrings. She inspired me to buy ones made from jade! All good fun!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i love Morya on Schitts creek
her look is just so much fun

 

[AprilBaby]

Since I am of an age and status that I could afford such, no one would question me. Sadly I don’t care about designer stuff.

 

[musicloveranthony]

I don't have any lab diamonds, but no. I don't even think my friends would notice. Most don't really notice my jewelry I care so much about

 

[bling_dream19]

Everyone knows I'm obsessed with jewelry so they know everything I'm wearing is real lol!

 

[Bojambles]

The only people I know who actively try to figure out if something someone carrying is fake or counterfeit weren't very nice and only did so to denigrate someone (can't imagine why else someone would bother).

Yet they also had no problems carrying counterfeit items themselves, so... no they're not my friends

 

[MillieLou]

"Is that real?" is the compliment of choice for diamonds over half a carat in the UK.

 

[musicloveranthony]

FWIW I can say that I usually assume any large stone is lab or mimic, but I don't assign any emotion or care to that. Around here it's trendy for young men to wear almost comically large CZ stud earrings.

 

[mommylawyer]

I tell my friends my diamonds are fake to prevent them from laughing at me.

 

[RunningwithScissors]

I unabashedly wear a CZ tennis bracelet. I have killer real diamond earrings and engagement ring (at least I consider them awesome) so I have no problem saying my bracelet isn't the real thing, just a fun, happy stand-in, like a stunt double. I still delight in wearing it and mixing it with my real diamonds.

 

[oncrutchesrightnow]

My friends would laugh along with me if I intentionally carried a knockoff bag with the purported brand spelled wrong.

I, too, have no fake diamonds, only sparkly matter of varying chemical composition.

 

[000Ed]

I wear CZ's alot most of them dont even know. never have I been asked if they were fake. I have fooled so many people even with my massive 18mm amazon CZ studs. I wore a nicer set to a wedding and got loads of complements as I did with my diamond studs as well. maybe I just play if off well

 

[AprilBaby]

Oh DF we miss you! Can you imagine his comments now that Lab diamonds are common? RIP my friend!

 

[Dreamer_D]

No my friends are hippies who sew their own bags from old clothes so the last thing they'd care about is a branded bag.

I know this is an old post but your description of your friends made me feel so nostalgic for my teen years when all MY friends were hippies who sewed their own bags from old cloths! (And skirts, and handkerchief tops. This was mid 90s…)
