Artificial Jewellery in Lahore

I'm sorry but this sounds really elitist and snobby...as if artificial = bad.
What if someone cannot afford to wear gold or would prefer to spend their money on other things? what exactly is wrong with someone wearing artificial jewelery? if they will get a "bad" reputation b/c of it...then are those people really worth bothering about??

I've seen sets that have real stones and are gold plated or made out of 14Kt gold..but still desis call it fake.
