    Of course, the postage & insurance costs are ridiculous for
    quantities of cheap items, and the postage instructions don't
    specifically state that the costs are PER PIECE in the Dutch auction,
    but there is something I am not clear on. This seller doesn't sell
    any diamonds at all, everything states that it is a diamond SIMULANT,
    CZ in this case. Did you realize that these were not really synthetic
    diamonds, just cubic zirconia, and that CZ's are in no way related to
    diamonds? Pretty, yes - Diamonds, no. I hope you haven't sold any
    pieces using these types of gems where you represented them as
    diamonds of any kind. That could open you up to the legal
    responsibility to replace the pieces with REAL synthetic diamonds,
    which could cost you thousands of dollars. If you haven't sold any,
    then just make sure if you do progress to sales, that simulated gems
    are not confused with synthetic gems. Synthetic diamonds are
    laboratory grown real diamonds, not CZ's.
