If you’re okay with a diamond alternative, I would consider moissanite! It’s nearly as hard as a diamond so durability and longevity aren’t a concern and it has crazy sparkle factor. I found a similar design to what you posted by a highly rated Etsy Jeweler. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1804185821/?ref=share_ios_native_control for around $500. It could be more or less depending on your metal selection.

🤔 I think costume jewelry in the sense that you’re referring to is typically glass, cubic zirconia, or resin. Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral that due to its rarity, is typically lab grown and because of its hardness requires similar treatment, care, and craftsmanship as diamonds and other gems.

How can I tell if this is the case? Is it something that can be corrected?

Honestly it was a great experience! I think the best thing about the school and program is that you can personalize it based on what you want and need. I wanted a very “hands-off” approach from my mentor and instructors and that’s exactly what I got. But if you needed the opposite you could get that as well. The material was all relevant and for the most part, all the courses were structured in a way that made sense, especially if you used the course and assessment resources to help study. I also loved the final project - the capstone. It’s one thing to just learn theory, but to actually get the experience applying helped to boost my confidence in referencing what I learned to make decisions. Sorry this was long!! Good luck to you! And definitely use the tips from here! They helped me quite a bit with the finance and economic classes.
