What Would You Think Is Your Boyfriend Gave an Engagement Ring With a Moissanite (Fake) Diamond?
Category: Moissanite Engagement Rings Answers
My boyfriend proposed to me 2 weeks ago and my ring was too big so we had to take it to a jeweler and the jeweler said it was a "moissanite" which it means it is not a diamond. My boyfriend kept saying it was and that the jeweler was wrong, so we left.
What will you think if this happened to you?
Would you tell him something?
How will you feel?
my fiance gave me a fake ring, my engagement ring is fake, bf gave fake engagement ring, my engagemet ring is so big people think its fake, he bought a fake ring, fiance fake ring, fake diamond ring received from bf
well its the thought that counts of course
More then likely your boyfriend could not afford the real thing so you should not question him about the stone if it is a cheapo or the real thing.As long as he loves you that is all that should really matter.
Well it depends, it is the thought that counts......maybe he wanted to propose but cant afford a real diamond, theres no shame in that.......but he shouldn't lie about it, but if he is lying its probably b/c hes embarrassed....if you really think you should confront him, then do it, but use your own judgment.
i will appreciate it 'cause thats what he can afford and he gave it out of love.
Honey, maby your fiance did not have enough money at the time to buy you what you wanted, I know it is every girls dream to have that "big" diamond and that "big" wedding, but if your fiance can't afford that "big" diamond and all that he can give you is a moissanite, then you should know that it is the thought that counts.
And the reason that he denied it to the jeweler, was because he did not want to admit it in front of you and the jeweler that he knew it was fake. Honey, he was sooooo embarrassed!!!
Be thankful that you have the man you have, and if it looks real, then fine, who cares what other people think??
Maby he bought you a moissanite, because he wants you to have the wedding you always wanted!!!!
Be thankful you have a wonderful man who cares to at least try and give you the best.
Count your blessings, if you want the real thing, a "bigger and real diamond", maby this guy does not deserve you, maby he deserves someone who will take him for who he is, a wonderful, thoughtful, and caring man, who wants the best for his fiance, but can't afford to buy her the world.
Moissanite is not a fake diamond. Moissanite is a completely seperate stone, that has the closest natural makeup to a diamond. They are (I think) a 9 on the hardness scale. They are very vibrant and reflect color well, and until recently, they were fairly inexpensive in the world of jewlery.
Now, many people have turned to moissanite as an alternative to the diamond. It is less expensive and still has several attributes that the diamond has. But as the stone has risen in popularity, so has the demand and the greed, hence a vast rise in the price of the stone. A jewler has a keen eye for spotting a diamond vs. moissanite, and there are "testers" to determine whether the stone is actually a diamond. So rest assured, if the jewler said it wasn't a diamond, it wasn't.
It is not to be confused with the diamond, as your fiance has led you to believe. The circumstances are what you should take issue with here. Had he presented you with the ring and TOLD you what it was, and that he was saving the money for your future, that would have been more bearable! Instead, he lied to you about a symbol that is supposed to represent everything moral in your relationship.
Tough way to start a marriage, huh?
If he refuses to fess up, have him take you to the place it was purchased. You need insurance on the ring, right? That means you have to have it appraised. The appraisal will tell all.
Good luck, and I hope you two work it out.
I think you should ask him what makes him believe that it is real. For all you know, he might have bought it from someone who made him believe that it was.
You have to ask him/ find out the truth. The issue is not about the ring being a fake (or not). It's more on honesty and trust.
I would think that he loved you alot (as he gave you a ring and asked to spend your life with him) and didn't have alot of money. Just a little bit of history...your grandmother or great-grandmother probably was given a ring made out of a horse-shoe nail bent into the shape of a ring. Why? Because, people had no money back then...but, they stayed together. Don't worry about the ring...worry about what it means.
I would feel that this man loved me enough to give me a ring and think to myself----I am a lucky girl. . .Maybe it was all he could afford, but he got you one anyway, didn't he? If you are so materlistic, maybe you are with the wrong guy., But...if you are with someone for love, I think you found him. . .It's all up to you. . .Sometimes in this life, its not the price, its the gesture behind it. .. . .
well,if you really love him,no matter what he give to you...but he need to be honest if that is fake or what?good luck into your relationship.....
Well, maybe he loves you very much, obviously or he wouldn't have proposed, but couldn't afford a real diamond. I'm sure he's feeling very embarrassed. If you really don't like the ring, then suggest he save for a ring you like, but be reasonable with the price. You should also be understanding when money isn't available for dates, etc., if you all decide to do this. Or there is the possibility, he's clueless when it comes to valuable stones and didn't realize someone ripped him off.
If your boyfriend bought the ring as a diamond, he needs take it back. But if he knew and that's what he could afford, take it. Love isn't measured by the size of diamond you get. If you are starting out with an attitude like that, well, good luck on the marriage lasting a long time.
I have to agree with Huntress, a moissanite is not a fake diamond, it's a totally different stone in it's own right. He may not have been able to afford a decent size diamond, and there is no law written anywhere that says an engagement ring HAS to be a diamond, so I'd be grateful for the lovely ring you have rather than moaning about the diamond you don't have.
I'd think he couldn't afford the real thing and would rather give me a real stone that was lovely instead of an itty bitty diamond chip. I"d love the ring he gave me as it came from him and he took the time to pick it out. Moissanites are a real stone. You'll get diamonds later.
