...is it the perceived value in contrast to their clothes? ...is it the size? ...the yucky looking nails?  |

When it's made of plastic and/or has a decoder wheel on it.

When their finger turns green and the stone looks all blurry and scratched.

Does it mean you are bored?

If the band turns the finger black or green it's a pretty sure indicator it's fake.  And fake diamond or cubic zirconia can't cut glass. |

Why do you ask? Are you going to wear a fake one?

When it looks like it is worth WAY more than the person wearing it!

When it's given to you by someone truly cheap (not frugal, but cheap).
I helped cater a wedding where the groom's ring hadn't arrived yet. He used bailing wire for the ceremony--I thought that was pretty cool, the bride and wedding party really got a kick out of it and they made sure they got some good pics.

<<< Why do you ask? Are you going to wear a fake one? >>>
...well, this is more a spin off from the "wedding ring, why?" thread... it just felt like the closest thing to polling the audience I could think of to maybe "back up" my opinion that she should avoid some of the bigger, flashier CZs, no matter how trendy they've become... I think she may regret that purchase after the initial ooh and ahh phase...
...then again, I can totally understand the "what's it to you?" approach to what we wear... ;D

I told DH nothing larger than a carat solitaire. Not so much that it looks fake, but I know DH has great taste and would get a really, really good diamond... I didn't want the value of a small house on my hand! But then again, I'm a simple girl!

To me, a ring would look fake if the color of the gold was off - i.e. too yellow-y.
21K and 22K gold doesn't look anything like the gold over here. Even 18K isn't as 'yellow'.
