Forever Brilliant
I think Forever Brilliant by Charles & Colvard is an ideal alternative to diamonds.

On Fake Diamonds
Kate Donovan's post was interesting. Many won't be able to tell the difference between natural and imitation diamond via visual observation. Simply true.

Cubic Zirconia + Jewelers + Consumers
I think Rob Bates was spot on. Jewelers should give what customers want.

Nicholas Le Moigne
Buy 1, get 1 free, or Buy 1, get 10, 100 free. Lemoigne uses mirrors to multiply the precious objects, ironically exaggerating luxury to the extremes of decadence, simultaneously tickling the blissful fancy of the consumer in getting more for his or her money. I thought it was a brilliant idea/design. All the best. Check it out. http://www.nicolaslemoigne.com

Costume Jewelry Update
Victoria Gomelsky's opinion piece in the New York Times was interesting. Costume jewelry = price diversity. Amazingly fine jewelry and costume jewelry coexist fantastically. Sign of the times, really.

Butler & Wilson
I think imitation jewelry will never go out of style. For 40 years Butler & Wilson has been the jewelry company of choice for film stars and princesses, they have made imitation into chic, and its amazing their deliciously sparkling gems and fantastically oversized jewelry has adorned the pages of Vogue for four decades. A great story indeed. Hats off to Simon Wilson!

Diamond Imitation Jewelry
To most untrained eyes paste/glass jewelry will look real. But most knowledgeable buyers buy paste jewelry for the look.
