‘They’re very nice, but they’re paste.’
‘Paste?’
‘But you have to admire the craftwork of the settings.’
‘Admire the craftwork! I cased this job for two months.’
‘Then they saw you coming.’
‘I was like a ghost.’
‘People see apparitions all the time, Frank. Think they’re haunted.’
‘Are you sure they’re paste? She wore them out that evening. To the palace.’
‘You’re free to seek a second opinion.’
‘I’m going to get the original set, if it’s the last thing I do.’
‘Perhaps they are the original set?’
‘You’re saying she’s as fake as her diamonds?’
‘But still a jewel.’
A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words.

Oh, interesting setup, Rob. Now I'm wondering about the woman who wore those jewels, just as I am about the main characters here.
