A WOMAN has revealed that people are shocked when they find out her "diamond" engagement ring is fake and added that she doesn't see the point of spending £10,000 on a rock. Alice Benham , took to social media to reveal that her engagement ring is moissanite, a naturally occurring gemstone that is similar in appearance to diamond but is much cheaper. She said that it was her choice to get a "fake" ring, and revealed her reasoning via a TikTok video.
The business and marketing strategist said that the first reason she chose a moissanite ring is because she is very clumsy and didn't trust herself to have "£10,000 on my hand". She said: "I just feel so safe because if anything were to happen to this ring, I could replace it fairly easily". Alice said that she also loves that her ring isn't super expensive, because if she ends up not liking it, she can just get another one.
She said: "My fiancé has said to me that if I want a new one every year then that's doable because of the price". Alice said that another reason she loves her ring is that she would rather have £10,00 in cash, than have spent it on a piece of jewellery . She said: "If I had gone for an expensive ring, we would have had £10,000 less to spend on the flat we are buying.
"I just don't see the point of having that money on my hand, when it will more actively impact my life". Alice said that she also loves shocking people, who believe her partner must be extremely rich to have afforded such a huge diamond. "Th.
