You'd think with something that expensive they'd at least take good pictures.

A couple curiosity questions, I'm not real familiar with jewelery like this. I totally believe it's fake, so really just curiosity about a couple things.

I get the 10-15 % smaller if it's cast in a mold taken from an original, pretty typical metal shrinkage.

Were they all done from the same casting? I'm thinking that different size ranges would have different weights.

Would someone like an equpment manager have gotten a slightly different ring than the players? Maybe 10K instead of 14K or from a different original mold? It seems odd that the side panel is located differently if it was molded from an original. (Could be an optical illusion too)

Odd though, I've done a fair ammount of industrial manufacturing, and I see different differences that make me think fake, especially compared directly to a real one. Lack of crispness in the details, and sloppy fit and finish of the blue piece and the mount for the diamond.
