Do people buy fake engagement rings to travel abroad?
We have been asked many times over the years to create replica engagement rings based on our existing jewellery designs. But why would anyone want a travel engagement ring? The answer varies depending on personal circumstances.
Travelling abroad with an expensive diamond ring
Some of our clients who purchase a very expensive engagement ring worry about carrying it abroad. In addition to the risk of loss, in many countries, there is an increased risk of robbery.
Furthermore, jewellery insurance policies may not cover an item’s value abroad. Moreover, Some areas of the World pose increased risks during travel.
Besides leisure travel, many clients are committed to working trips abroad. Naturally, some would prefer to wear their engagement ring whilst travelling.
Creating an inexpensive diamond replica engagement ring
In addition to our diamond options, we now offer a replica option set into precious metal. Since the majority of the cost lies within the diamond itself, it is possible to achieve a very close replica ring.
The Lila engagement ring, just one design available as a diamond ring set with a natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, Moissanite or with an inexpensive Cubic Zirconia.
Do replica engagement rings look real?
Anyone who visits our UK showroom will see that many of our ring designs are carried in our showroom as replica rings. Designs are then crafted in the precious metal required and set with natural-certified diamonds. Our showroom samples are typically set with ideal cut crystal. We are proud that our solution provides the best possible alternative to an actual diamond ring.
Fake diamond engagement rings vs real diamond engagement rings
At this point, you might be wondering why people don’t just buy a ‘replica’ instead of the actual diamond engagement ring. There are two main reasons for choosing a diamond above any other alternative replica stones. For long-term wear, diamonds are extremely durable. A ‘fake’ or replica ring, when worn daily, will wear. The polish will scuff, and facets will appear worn under a lens. For this reason, replica designs should really be worn occasionally, with the real diamond engagement ring worn day-to-day.
What makes our replica diamond engagement rings the best?
The replica option for our engagement rings results in the best possible replica rings. This is because we only use precious metals—just like our real engagement rings. Furthermore, we use only the very best crystal, which are diamond cut to perfection and brilliantly faceted.
A note on creating replica engagement rings
Please note that for any order we receive for a Moissanite engagement ring or crystal, replica engagement ring design, we specify all materials used for your order. In addition, all invoices identify diamonds as lab-grown or natural, or Moissanite as part of their description.
Are lab-grown diamond rings real diamond rings?
We recently introduced the option of lab-grown diamond rings in addition to our natural diamond ring collection. As part of our service, we now provide almost all designs with a choice of natural or lab-grown.
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, identical in every way apart from how they were formed. Unlike natural diamonds formed naturally below the Earth, lab diamonds are grown under laboratory conditions. Both provide the same hardness and optical and chemical properties. However, lab-grown diamonds lack the rarity of a natural diamond. For this reason, prices provide an identical, yet lower cost alternative to a natural diamond.
