From The Diamond Guy Webiste

Q	HI Fred, I am going to ask what might be a delicate question because I know that you are an honorable and ethical person and would not advise anyone to go anywhere if they did shoddy or unethical practices. Shoot, if you were running for President of the USA, you're the person I would vote for. So no offense is intended. That being said: I notice that you push Body Jewels every chance you get in your responses. Are you in any way financially affiliated with them or is it simply; you know their quality better than other diamond simulation outlets. I have a feeling that somebody at Body Jewels apprenticed under you or is very close to you? I've been to their site and it's beautiful. They look quality from the get-go.
A	Wow! Mr. President! I kind of like the sound of that! ;) You are so sweet! Being President might be cool but there is too much politics in politics. :) As far as Body Jewels, I am not financially affiliated with their product or company in any way. I just think it’s a good product for the money. You get what you pay for- nothing more, nothing less. They don't hype or lie to you like some companies who say that they have invented a product that is "better than a diamond", or not shoot you straight about the longevity or even durability of what they sell. They make a product that if taken care of (nothing is indestructible) can bring someone a little bit of happiness for a little while. Not a lot of products advertised deliver on their promises and are backed by a company that will be there if something goes wrong. Is Body Jewels perfect? Nope. But they don't claim to be. Are their products perfect? Nope, but they are very pretty and a fair price. When I come across anybody doing the best they can to help others be happy and puts people before profits, I like to support them. Fred

 

Best hand cut CZ  by The Diaamond Guy 2007
Created: 12/19/2007    Updated: 12/20/2007
Q Hi Fred, I was just wondering what you current opinion is on the best quality hand cut CZ and where to get it? Is a hand cut CZ better than a CZ nexus or lannyte (since those are actually CZ too)? Thanks John A Hi John, BodyJewels makes the best product for the money right now. Rumor even has it there is an incredible new product by BodyJewels; something to the effect of the ultimate CZ in the world! It will be a little pricey but from what I hear it will be worth every penny!! Merry Christmas! Fred

Our Latest Review from Fred Cellular " The Diamond Guy " 4.25-2005

Bodyjewels.Com

Last Christmas the top brass at BodyJewels.com asked me to evaluate a few of their products: some of their hand-cut CZ’s; a celebrity diamond imitation (Elizabeth Taylor’s Krupp Diamond) and a non-Bodyjewels-created product that they inventory from another vendor (Signity Star).  On my own, I evaluated how the product was shipped, packaged and my first impressions.

Out of The Box

After I took all the little goodies out of their shipping box, I was impressed that everything was very nicely packaged (especially the celebrity imitation—see photos 3 and 4). However, as I opened each ring box, in most cases the interior plastic stone holders had popped open in transit (see photo 5) and stones were strewn everywhere. This is a major concern. Allowed to free-float inside their box, the probability that the stones would scratch and chip each other skyrockets. (I’ve been assured since my evaluation that the problem has been eliminated with custom stone holders to assure no movement of the stone.)

The first item that I inspected closely was the Liz Taylor imitation. As you see in the photos, it came in a very nice purple leather box. It was held very securely during shipment and displayed magnificently when opened. (See photos below for close-ups.)

The ring makes a powerful first impression! While the original Krupp Diamond weighed in at 33.19 cts., and this one weighs in at 8 cts., you’d need two hands to lift it if it had been any bigger! For $500.00 you get much more than you bargained for. My only criticism, and it’s very small, is that there was some small porosity on the undercarriage of the setting and the metal isn’t as heavy as I would expect with a real diamond. That said, I agree with the slightly lighter setting to keep an affordable price point. Bodyjewels says they are moving to a heavier shank with no change in price.

The in-house BodyJewels products (emerald cut and radiant) were good performers. In some areas I found rolled facets, but for the most part the polish and sharpness of the faceting was excellent. For the money, I rate BodyJewels a “best buy” in the competitive world of simulates.

The last five stones I evaluated were from the Signity Star collection (not  BodyJewels products). The samples that I received had such an array of problems that it’s impossible to list them all. The major flaws include heavy scratches, abraded facet junctions and culets; and a clear disregard for proportioning. The Signity Star collection should only be purchased for fun or a gag gift. If you’re looking for a true imposter, pass on these machine-cut stones.

In closing, I was impressed with most of what I saw and would recommend any of the BodyJewels manufactured pieces as long as they uphold the standards of the samples I examined.

Why Use Simulated Stones?  OCTOBER 28.2004

Cost - Quality - Size

Just about any type of natural stone today can be either simulated or laboratory created. However, if natural stones are still available, why not use the real thing? Also, what is the difference between natural stones, simulated stones, and laboratory created stones?

First, let’s examine the actual differences. Naturals stones are mined from the earth. Text books like to banter around terms such as "plate tectonics." How all the different elements were combined in nature to make diamonds, citrine, and turquoise (just to name a few stones) is truly a miracle of nature.

Simulated stones are not so mysterious. They are made in order to attempt to capture the beauty of naturals stones, and many manufacturers are successful at doing this. For example, Body Jewels creates simulated diamonds along with colored gems. Manufacturers use technology to create a stone that looks as good as, if not better than, those found in nature.

" How to Buy Fake Diamonds " by CoCo Myers " Oxygen.Com 

There's something about diamond earrings. You put a simple pair of studs in your earlobes and suddenly you're rich, grown up, successful. But while they may be a girl's best friend, they're not in every girl's budget. So can you have the same sparkle, and the illusion of status, with fakes? Sorry, Harry Winston, the answer is yes. 

Most faux diamonds today are made out of cubic zirconium, a white crystalline compound that bears a striking resemblance to the real things. These synthetics are much more realistic than the old-fashioned rhinestones and Austrian crystals (picture fancy tiaras, dress-up earrings, flea-market necklaces), which are more overtly costumey. 

But just as with diamonds, zirconias vary widely in quality and price, depending on how the stones are manufactured and set. 

Under $50
Cruise the "fashion" jewelry counters of major department stores, like Macy's or Bloomingdale's, and you'll find studs ranging from as little as $15 (by Guess, for example) to the more typical $40 or $50 (by the likes of Christian Dior or Ralph Lauren). You can also mine the Web for sites such as BodyJewels.Net; all of which sell simulations for under $50.
