“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” is the saying that almost everyone knows. What girl wouldn’t love to have a shiny diamond ring or a diamond necklace as part of her jewelry collection? Additionally, we know that diamonds are expensive, and purchasing them can be difficult, let alone insuring them, and treating them appropriately.

Yet, her life changed forever when what she thought was a fake diamond turned out to be something very different.
Her story begins in 1980 in London, England. In West London, a woman decided to stop by a car boot sale at the West Middlesex Hospital while she was having a perfectly normal day. Her attention was caught by a particularly large and pretty artificial diamond ring while she was there. The moment she laid eyes on the ring, she knew she had to have it.

Costume jewelry

Although this wasn’t the most convincing piece of costume jewelry because it wasn’t that shiny or bright, nevertheless, this shopper decided that this gorgeous piece of costume jewelry was perfect for her collection. There was no way that she could have known that she was about to seal her fate in literally her own hands or better, fingers. The first thing she did was try out the ring on her finger to see if it would suit her hand. Eventually, it fitted perfectly. She loved how it sits in her hand, so she decided to purchase it as a gift to her self.
