Imitation Diamond Rings – A Smart Buy Or Not?
By: Peter Crump
Whether a diamond ring is purchased to commemorate a specific occasion such as an engagement or a wedding celebration, or given simply as a sign of love, the gift should always be as beautiful and pure as the feelings that inspired its bestowing. The recipient of any piece of jewelry is undoubtedly extraordinarily special in the eyes of the giver, and so the gift should encapsulate something of the unique bond that exists between two people. For many, there will never be a diamond that can truly reflect the beauty of their loved one, and when it seems there is not enough room in the budget to purchase a ring worthy of this love, it can be tempting to purchase something that is merely pleasing to the eye. And while imitation diamond rings can capture something of the appearance of a real diamond ring, synthetic diamonds cannot come close to expressing your love as a real diamond can. Each real diamond is as unique as the person it is given to, combining beauty and purity in a way that imitation diamond rings cannot capture. Imitation diamond rings use stones which are usually composed of cubic zirconia or moissanite, and while these materials are undoubtedly similar in appearance to a real diamond, these imitation stones capture none of the uniqueness and imagination that a real diamond has in its very essence. Diamonds have been prized for centuries as a symbol of beauty and purity, and it is these characteristics that have lead them to become a popular choice in the expression of love. Only twenty percent of raw diamonds are suitable for cutting, and it is this special combination of the inherent beauty of a stone and the proper cut that renders no two real diamonds alike. Over two hundred and fifty tons of diamond ore are required to make just one genuine diamond carat. It is only fitting that it takes so much to create such beauty, a symbol of the deep and abiding love between two people. Synthetic diamonds which make up imitation diamond rings capture none of the unique history that makes a genuine diamond so precious. Imitation diamond rings can be pretty, but they are without the depth of character and true beauty of a genuine diamond. A synthetic diamond is a pale reflection of your love. Express your feelings with a stone that does them justice. About the Author
