Back in the days when I was growing up (a long time ago!), there was "real" jewelry made with gold, silver and precious stones, such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. These pieces were, of course, very expensive.
Then there was "fake" jewelry which was considered cheap and nasty and usually made of inferior metals and glass stones. It looked good for a while, but soon tarnished and the stones started to fall out. However it was a lot cheaper and everyone could afford to have their own collection.
Nowadays we have the best of both world with beautiful cubic zirconia jewelry. Cubic zirconias are very similar to diamonds, except the are man made instead of mined from the ground. Cubic zirconia jewelry can be very classy and several jewelry designers have made their own special collections featuring these beautiful stones.
People can't tell the difference between cubic zirconias and real diamonds - unless they're a trained jeweler of course. I absolutely love them!
