Yes! My wedding ring was stolen from my hotel room while I was at an amusement park several years ago. Ironic because I thought I would protect it by leaving it in the hotel room. 😏 Now I have several fake wedding rings that I wear depending on the occasion. I wear my real one most of the time but when I am traveling or in a sketchy part of the French Quarter, one of those fake rings is on my finger. Losing my original wedding ring broke my heart. Protect yours so you'll never have to feel that loss. Insurance money can't replace the sentiment.

Many new mines were discovered at that time and European financiers feared that the discovery of new mines would increase the supply of the gem and will result in it becoming a semi-precious gem. Hence De Beers, in 1888, became a merged institution (cartel) which controlled most of the production and distribution and perpetuated the illusion of scarcity of diamonds. This illusion helped them in stabilizing the prices of the gem. www.google.com/amp/s/www.feedough.com/diamond-marketing-de-beers/amp/

Three years later and this ring still looks amazing and I always get compliments. I’ve taken it to the beach, I wash my hands with it, I do dishes, and look after two children. Not one stone has fallen off and the gold still looks really nice. We were actually at Kay yesterday for a cleaning and the jeweler couldn’t even tell without tools. My ring cost 500 alone. Not including the wedding band which was another 500. That ring was bought from a mom and pop shop and was previously owned so kinda thrifted if you will.

Darrell Cassell 🦋 I think it's a gesture of dowry. Marriage is ment to be a onetime event, until after death (or if you have multiple wives.) I think dowries or expensive rings are so it cannot be easily "redone;" they are forms of insurance. I'm still all in favor of real stones and metals, but a diamond is not necessary. Nor is a great expense. I visited a jewelry store recently and became very open to all natural stones as an option. Created stones can be to, if they're truly liked by the wearer. The hardness point is what makes a diamond special, I believe; and diamonds come in a rainbow of colors! I too think it puts on a lot of pressure to men. Unless you are passing down an heirloom, how on earth do you decide on metals, stones, and design? I like the idea of picking a ring out together, but that's after you ask. And what do you ask with? I think.. I'd still love my partner, and want them, even if they proposed with a fake WITH the intention for us to later choose together a ring perfect to my taste. In fact, I'd respect him for it -if that is the intention, of course. I think I'd also love whatever was chosen for me, regardless, because O live the man who chose it. Yes, pressure's on for men; it's hard to know a woman's taste in jewelry. And what about her ring size? They can be resized... to an extent... depending upon ornamentation. In one of Shea's videos, they upgrade her ring to celebrate ten years of marriage. I reallllly like this act. Propose with what you can, and upgrade to what you both or what she really wants later. That, I respect so much. At that point, both man and woman have worked for, and earned, a dramatic, expensive display of their marriage. 🦋✨✨

Real diamonds are actually not rare at all but these jewelry companies make you believe they are and upcharge people sooo much. De beers are scam artists. Once you buy a diamond ring it’s incredibly hard to make anywhere near what you paid for it, so in the end it’s not a good investment. Granted most people aren’t trying to resale their rings, but there are many other gems and crystals that are cheaper and worth way more! Anyways I loved this video, it was very different and goes to show the average person would never know! I like the idea of buying a cheap everyday ring to wear ♥️

Actually the larger the stone, the higher the investment. We have customers who buy 4ct diamonds from us, with the value sky rocketing in no time. Whereas a simple .50ct doesn’t really go up in price a whole lot. It’s no different than a high quality ruby or emerald, with the value going up in price. The size of these stones are a lot easier to sell typically through a jeweller in years to come.

A lot of people think of it as a investment but really it depreciates over time. Diamonds whole sale are way cheaper than what consumers actually end up paying.

One thing you have to consider when getting a different stone other than diamond (cz, moissanite, morganite, etc) is how hard the stone is. If its soft it will not last as long. It will cloud over time. I chose moissanite due to how hard the stone is!

braindamage You’re saying a lot to defend these fake diamonds so I’m wondering if you are trying to convince yourself that your fake one is better? Cause it’s not?

@@RugbyPrincessT I don't see why braindamage would have to defend themselves lmao. I inherited my grandmother's 6 carat engagement ring and bands (valued at 375k) and honestly the CVs I bought off of Amazon are better looking and I actually wear them. (No offense to my grandparent's taste though) I'll probably end up wearing one of my CVs when I get married, cause they're so much better. I'll probably have the band re-done in real silver, but they're pretty damn good otherwise. The only complaints I have are that you have to bake them for them to look good, they don't have weight, and the ring bands are cheap af. It's kinda funny that people still buy into that scam when CVs are way better.

I love your pink top!! Can you please share where you had purchased it?!

You are the perfect one to make these videos!! So much fun! Make more! Xoxo

also to make this ring worth more than just one video, wear this ring when you travel, especially overseas!! My grandma and my mom have always done that!

missjamie611 yes!!!

The difference between a so-called real diamond ring and a so-called fake diamond ring is time. In addition, the fake diamond rings are better quality than the majority of the real diamond rings that people wear, which have inclusions and faults. Why not get yourself a man-made diamond ring that is absolutely flawless compared to a so-called real diamond ring that has all kinds of inclusions and doesn't refract the light properly. but the North American way seems to be that the more money you spend on something is apparently showing the much better quality it is. Well that's not true.

Yes this is true of synthetic diamonds. However the fake ring she has on here is not a synthetic but a simulator diamond ring meaning it is not made up of the same material of a natural/synthetic diamond.

@@zipporahmbangi6933 Nevertheless, the real diamond ring probably cost $20,000+, where the Tigergem ring was less than $200. You could buy a new fake diamond ring every 6 months for the rest of your life and still not spend that much money. Or, buy one on ebay for $10-$20. I have a list of several sellers who sell such good fakes that my jeweler sister-in-law thought they looked real. She was amazed, and a little put out. 😂

So fun! really enjoyed your test. Such a great idea for anyone unsure of what they are looking for in an engagement ring too. Try a few out and see what you really like. Btw, in your last clip where is your sweater from? I couldn’t find it in the description box.

LOOOVE IT! seriously! fantastic video :)

Love this idea! I think something that’s really big right now is all of the dupes on Amazon (like Gucci belt dupes) so it would be cool to see if people can spot the Amazon dupe vs the real thing!

This was such an interesting experiment !!!keep doing rings !! There are so many different diamond alternatives. Qvc diamonique. Moissanite ect!!!!!! Loved this

I work with jewelry, and the BEST alternative is moissanite. A DIA hardness is 10, and a moissanite is a 9.2. And a moissanite has more brilliance than a DIA.

I've got a Carat of London 1 solitaire diamond simulant engagement ring. And it looks totally real, people often admire it and at a glance no-one would know the difference. Great video! 😄

Hey Shea, since you recommended TIGER GEMS I bought a ring, bracelet and earrings. It’s such a BAD QUALITY! The gold ring arrived and had black spots on it. Everything looks like plastic! Would like to post a photo of it so others can see how terrible it is and save their money!

Another great comparison is Moissanite to Diamonds. So many people are choosing them due to their durability, cost, eco-friendliness, and overall gorgeousness (they sparkle more than diamonds). Great video! I would love to see more comparison videos for clothing, shoes, etc :)

I bought an "engagement" ring off of Amazon just because I thought it was so beautiful it was $12 ans everytime I wore it people thought it was real and would always say "What ever man gave you that ring must really love you!" It's a CZ stone and its stainless steel so it doesn't turn my finger green.....even if a man bought it for me i would'nt even care that it was $12 that way I don't have to freak out too much about losing a $1,000+ ring
