Maybe because it wouldn't be such a loss if it's stolen or damaged...There are some good synthetics out there now, and most people can't tell the difference. Having another kind of stone is actually more unique, most royal wedding rings include both. It also doesn't matter if it's a huge diamond if the clarity is low, so some smaller diamonds are worth more.

Answer: Look online or in the phone book (yellow pages) under ...
Look online or in the phone book (yellow pages) under 'beads' and 'crafts' and write down the addresses of several. Put a 'sample' of something you own that is 'decorated' and another sample of something you want to 'jazz up' and ask the clerk if they carry the 'fake diamonds/studs' or if s/he knows where you can get them IN BULK, and if you have 'numbers' (at least 100, up to 1,000,000) for the 'bulk' you think you'll need. Then they'll either direct you to the 'location' in their store, or give you the name/address/contact information to send you in the 'right direction. You MAY be able to do this 'online' since I've seen these in many catalogues ... and most places with 'paper catalogues' also have online stores ... so go to a search engine and try several different 'variations' of your 'fake diamonds/studs until you get a few 'listings' of places that sell this stuff online. GOOD LUCK!

Answer: do you not kno if the ring is white gold? is that the ...
do you not kno if the ring is white gold? is that the question? you can tell if its white gold bc it has a number on the inside of the ring it should say like 12k or 18k for the quality of the gold. also if its silver it should say 925 or sumtin like that. BUUUUT if its silver then its def noooot a diamond bc silver can't hold diamonds. if its white gold then its prolly more likely to be a diamond. bring it to a jewelers and ask them thats easier and safer then doing it yourself like scratching a window to see if the stone is glass or diamond.

Answer: If it's not white gold or platinum, then it's most ...
If it's not white gold or platinum, then it's most likely CZ, cut glass, or crystal. All precious metals, including silver, are stamped on the inside... 10k, 14k, or 18k for gold, PLAT for platinum, and .925 for silver (which by the way WILL hold a diamond, but it's not recommended, or common, since it's such a cheap metal.). If you don't see any hallmark or stamp inside the ring, it's a safe bet you've got a fake.

Dimonds are the hardest rock in the world. You can try scratching with a medium amount of force, and if they scratch, the rock is fake. If they don't scratch, it's real.
