They sell diamond simulants. So technically, they are not diamonds:
From Google:
A diamond simulant is a stone that looks similar to real diamond and shares some of its characteristics. Although simulants are used as diamond imitations, they have a different chemical structure from real diamonds. Some simulants occur naturally, while others are created artificially.

diamond simulants are lab created in America and have similar characteristics to natural diamonds. These stones resemble real diamonds so closely and have the same appearance like the perfect natural diamonds. It is difficult for professional jewellers to distinguish them from real diamonds without going under the gem scope.In 18 Karaats, We only select the highest quality stones for our jewellery."
Some simulant options from elsewhere:Asha diamond is one of those I know about. It cannot outperform a well-cut diamond, assuming both have the same cut quality:

https://www.thediamondauthority.org/asha-vs-diamond/You want a simulant that is even better, try Amora Gems. Due to its properties, it will outperform a real diamond:

Nonetheless, go to YouTube and check out the videos. They are incredible. If you and your other half can get pass the fact that they are not diamond, along with the fact that it is creatd by mother nature, and want something that sparkles extremely well, I think Amora should be one of the best choice! Not everyone needs a real diamond for marriage, and not everyone needs a wedding photo shoot as well. I heard some people even buy some pasar malam "wedding bands" just for the sake of the ceremony and throw them away afterwards.
thanks for your explanation.
not expert in this field, so need someone to guide me haha
but what i think really, the shiny part really cannot differentiate from diamond.
worth it. at least when you lost it, you wont so sakit hati
thats the point. some people are just not meant to wear diamond.
while others only need to wear tshirt to bring the luxury feeling.
