A CLEVER woman has duped the internet with the incredibly authentic-looking engagement ring she bought off Amazon.
The fake ring is so convincing that she and her fiance were left wondering if they made a mistake buying a real diamond ring.
A woman named Dianna shared in a video how she bought a $19 ring off Amazon to wear on trips rather than bringing her real ring.
The Amazon ring looks so much like Dianna’s real ring that it actually has her and her fiance fuming.
She said: “You guys, I followed that tip to get a fake ring off Amazon for trips and stuff and it honestly has me and my fiance like really upset.”
She then held up both rings side by side and asked her viewers to guess which one is real.

Both rings feature a large round-cut diamond with a paved silver band, and they look identical.
Comparing the two rings, Dianna said: “What is going on here?
“So did we just waste tens of thousands of dollars or…?”
Several people took to the comments section to answer Dianna’s question.

“Yes, you wasted thousands of dollars on a ring. So not worth it,” one wrote.
Another added: “The hard thing is, diamonds are so intensely marketed that their value comes from us wanting it – not because they’re inherently better.”
Someone else wrote: “The answer is yes, you did waste thousands on a ring.
“It’s how the jewelry market thrives. They make people think love equals how much you spend.”
Others commented their guess on which ring contained the authentic diamonds.
One wrote: “Top is real. When you showed the sides the bottom one looked cheaper.”
Another commented: “I’d say top is real. The bottom one is throwing a lot of blue.”

“The prong placement actually gave it away for me. Top was obviously it,” one comment read.
As it would turn out, Dianna revealed that the top ring is actually the real one whereas the bottom is the fake from Amazon.
