I got a CZ in a nice silver ring and it was gorgeous for the first few months. Then the edges lost their sharpness and it started getting cloudy. Now it looks like a ten dollar fake.
I have a diamond ring my honey got me on the cheap. It’s held it’s sparkle for about five years now. If I have a choice I’ll take a diamond over CZ. It’s not a scam if it’s what you want.
I buy a lot of vitamins and supplements hoping they’ll keep me healthy. I don’t know if they’re a scam or not but I’ve heard a lot of people say they are.
You’re doing it wrong! I have a few drinks occasionally to have FUN. It’s a kind of fun I don’t often have. It enhances dancing and small talk for me. If I felt this way all the time I wouldn’t drink so it has a real purpose for me. 
Possibly, assuming that you be equally willing to accept a diamond that was made in a lab instead of in the ground (all things being equal about color, cut, etc.).
When folks claim that lab-made diamonds are “fake” or “made out of chemicals”, it gives my eye-rolling muscles a good workout.
Yeah, in my experience, CZs may be able to pass for diamonds for a little while, but not for any significant length of time. Eventually they get cloudy and, well, fake-looking. Probably why you don’t see too many people rocking CZ engagement and wedding rings. If there were an indistinguishable CZ available that would stand the test of time and not get gross after a few years, I would be totally fine with wearing one instead of a real diamond in an engagement ring. I’ve never seen such a ring, though.
A friend of mine wears a CZ wedding ring. It is so increadibly fake looking, I often wonder why she bothers. It honestly looks like cheap costume jewelry, which it is. Why not just wear a gemstone or just a simple gold band if you don’t want a diamond?
I can’t see any distinguishable difference between lab created and mined diamonds, however.
