I believe they are also called Russian Diamonds, they look like the real thing but are not. That's what the A list celebs do with their precious bubbles, they get an exact replica of the real thing and wear the copy instead. My grandmother, mother & aunt were all into high end jewels & through an amature's eye they may seem to appear the real thing. Makakaloko talaga!
