    At the risk of looking ignorant, I'll say that I've never heard of
    or encountered a foil-back diamond. I did a Google for it and found
    an old Georgian ring that said it had them, and they looked like
    diamonds. I also found an "expert" on a forum who also said he'd
    never heard of them. Not meaning anything except that I'd test the
    stone first off to make sure you're not replacing glass with diamond
    before doing anything. I'm sure they exist and I've just never seen
    one, but it's uncommon.
