14k gold necklace with 0.3c 'manufactured' diamond

Stop laughing 😊

The wife has seen this necklace and loves it. As in title, it sounds junk to me.

Back me up or put me right please. She'll buy it anyway but I need to know.

TIA! 😛

Depends on price tbh. If substantially cheaper than a comparable "real" stone, then go for it I say.

A woman wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a ground found or lab stone, not being sexist as none of us would. 

From what I hear/have seen, they are practically identical.

Another thing to consider Roy, if/when you or kids are ever reselling, only the gold content will be taken into consideration. A 0.3ct diamond whether from the ground or a microwave, won't add much/any extra to the price on second hand jewellery ( sorry jewelry 😅)

Go on Lawrence, be your usual brutal  ly honest self!

BTW, the advert doesn't even mention the chain's weight, only length...

Yeah on that basis, ignore everything I said!

Get some London mint 1/4 sovereigns made into earrings instead. Think they do installment plans through a certain magazine 😆
