What exactly is "genuine Diamonique"? Are there fake Diamonique stones floating around somewhere?

Would that be simulated simulated diamonds?

Now there's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one.

Fairly meaningless - although just like there are good diamonds and bad diamonds, there is good CZ and bad CZ. Still, when we buy any CZ jewelry, the stones have almost no value. The setting does, the design work does, the manufacturing process, the shipping process, the marketing - all that costs with each of them costing more than the stones.

My understanding from my jeweler is that if I wanted to buy a ring that had a CZ in it and replace the CZ with a genuine diamond or sapphire or whatever, he'd give me 25 cents discount for each stone! Could be more today since that was more than 5 years ago, but I would think not anything significant.

EBay sellers list tons of CZ as "diamonique" as if that's the generic name, rather than a specific brand. Especially sellers from Asia. So yes, they sell fake diamonique.

Interesting. I wonder if using the name helps their sales.

millieshops 25 cents? ouch.

I have two loose cz's that I bought in 1973 that I was going to have made into earrings but never did. They are still very shiny and in perfect condition as if I just purchased them. Don't know where they came from because I bought them from a person whee I worked at the time.

All of my Diamonique from years ago looks brand new. (No clouding, etc.) I wouldn't trust just any CZ, because I've heard that many become cloudy after a few years.

I remember many years ago, it came with a certificate of authenticity. So you could tell that it was a genuine fake diamond, I guess.

A certificate of authenticity saying that it wasn't authentic?
