- The gorgeous bottle was designed to replicate a Tiffany diamond.
For the hopeless romantic: David Yurman interlocking heart necklace

Jewelry is a Valentine's Day gift that keeps shining for years to come, but diamond earrings can easily cost an arm and a leg. Fortunately, there's an alternative that most of us can't distinguish from the real deal: lab-created diamonds.
With these classic diamond-alternative earrings from Diamond Nexus, you have your choice of precious metal type, center stone size and certification status. The diamonds on this piece are lab-created, but indistinguishable from a perfect diamond. The earrings have a low profile, so they never appear droopy.
