Hi G,

    EDUCATION.. it's required to get acceptance. Almost all jewelry
    stores, and 'chain' stores carry man-made/created/ lab
    grown/synthetics these days.. I'm going to give you a suggestion but
    it's not because I'm a gemcutter it's because it works.. buy a few
    custom cut stones in very flashy designs that are not 'run of the
    mill' junk that you can buy anywhere on the internet for 50 cents.
    I'm talking about nice barion style squares, ovals, pears, etc,
    checkboard crowns with unusual shapes, etc.. I have cut alot of
    synthetics (corundum & spinel mostly) and while you get the
    occasional 'look' when you say man-made, they don't put the stone
    down or quit drooling over it (especially clear ones that look like
    huge diamonds).
