I was thinking quality artificial diamonds are pretty much impossible to tell from regular diamonds unless you're getting it examined by a jeweler. Then there are manufactured diamonds which are actually diamonds, but I don't know if they are used for jewelry or are just used industrially.

Luckily, there's no man who loves me enough to buy me diamonds, so it's not an immediate concern!

You've got to admire their marketing skills, since diamond prices are based on perceived value, rather than rarity.

Gud - true, but from the jeweler's perspective, artificial diamonds, or crack-sealed/filled diamonds are big problems. Some of them kind of explode when heated, which makes setting or re-setting them a PITA. Some jewelers have lasers that help them test for exploding stuff before they get hit with a loss.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is there Heat Miser/Snow Miser slash?
Yeah, I could google, but it's more fun to ask here....
