You'd better believe it, Buster
OK, here's a story along this line.

I'd just taken my kids and grandkids to Disneyland. Got home and got a call from my son who asked, "How do you tell the difference between a diamond and cubic zirconia?"

I told him, "I don't know, look for the one with the  most sparkle, the most fire. Whichever one looks the most lustrous to you. Why?"

He then told me that my daughter-in-law had won a drawing along with 5 other people. They had the chance to select one of 6 rings. One was a real diamond ring with about 3 carat, total weight. The other 5 were CZ.

Well, she was allowed to go first and, in the words of the Knight in Indiana Jones, "She chose wisely!"

So there must be something to this innate ability to tell the difference.

I'll bet you can tell a Real larrivee or Taylor from replicas.  The workmanship and quality is undeniable.  A diamond will always be a diamond.

The end of the story is that I bought the ring from my son and daughter in law and it is sitting very comfortably on my wife's hand. We had planned to get her a larger ring for our 25th anniversary. We did it about 2 years early. Going on 29 this year.
