However, when it came time for my engagement ring, I chose a lovely Black Hills Gold piece that could be worn with a 2mm gold band. I'm glad there are simulants and lab-grown stones for those who love the look, but can't or don't want to afford the prices. I love my all-gold jewelry so much that I hardly ever wear the stuff with stones. However - if I'm gonna wear a stone, it's gonna be real!!! I adore looking at gemstones and own a lot of them.

Where is this article published? Any bridal magazines? Martha Stewart? How can I find out more about the purchasing of these stones? Also, where did you get the info on the technology of lab createed stones- I am most impressed. Do they retail for less that actual diamonds ?
