Will you spend thousands of dollars on glass?

People buy synthetic diamonds not because they think that its diamond and they got cheated, but rather, its cheaper. Not by very much, but nevertheless cheaper. They know that it is synthetic, the shops loudly proclaim that it is synthetic, it even comes with a certificate telling you that its synthetic and what is the real composition.

Whether it is a good deal or not is not for me to say since I have never bought a real or synthetic diamond before.

that's even dumber!!

Knowing it's fake and still buy it. Laughing

Well, I guess its the budget that makes the decision. Other people worked hard for their money, they should have the right to squander it away at any rate they like.

Although, personally, I feel that buying a real, but smaller diamond would be the way to go.

Without stupid people, clever people can't earn money.

And to the person who ask if jade is worthless.... now a REAL jade bangle only 5 dollars, you say leh ?

SilverPal SG

I guess I belong to the rare breed of people who buy jewerllery because it actually looks good instead of its resale value.

rathcycle SG

here's another myth to bust:

Liu2 Li2: (aka Glass)

Don't be fooled by retailers saying that they're crystal, liu li (which is the ancient word for ''glass'') is nothing but glass. They (aka glass) are NOT crystallic and has no properties of crystal.

It's true that in ancient periods, glass was highly regarded and only the rich can afford glass. But now, we're in the [b]MODERN ERA. Glass is basically worthless. It's as worthless as jade. Try selling jade in pawnshops and you'll be rejected straight away.

Liu Li is overpriced glass, which prices range from $100+ for a small piece to thousands for a large statue. IMO, it doesn't deserve this price tag, yet I still see idiots (adults!! not sch kids leh) paying large sums of money for glass... Rolling Eyes

And, I thot adults should have common sense. Well, not all I suppose? Laughing [/b]

it not that glass that are priceless.. it the design, the carving.. u know i once went to this liu li exhibition in ngee ann city and u will be very amazed when u see those glass.. it really beautiful..
