Answer 1

i have a nice pair of fake diamond earrings. they are just plain stud style earrings. nobody can usually tell the difference and only one time has somebody asked...but because they thought they were real.

And honestly I prefer the fake ones. So in case I lose one, I am only out the $30 I spent on these.

i personally wouldn't wear the rings you have shown. because they look too much like an engagememt set and you should wait for a gentleman to give you that.

Answer 2

I am an adult. I wear Cubic zirconia and other types of fake diamonds - because I like them and I I like the way they shine, and I look good in them. Not because I am trying to fake somebody out - but because I like the look. Anybody who would have a problem with that (I never met such a person in my long life) - I really don't care about.

The expectation that you - in SCHOOL! - would wear real diamonds is insane. If there is anybody out there who would say "sooo fake" - that person should be simply scratched off the list of people you care about. She's a brat and she can go take a hike.

These accessories are fun and they make you look pretty. Wear them confidently.

I do not think you will get infections from these pieces. I never heard of anybody getting *infections* from jewelry. That being said, I had some irritation from a watch once after the external layer wore off - well if you see it changing color and all, throw them out... But most likely it won't happen.

Answer 3

Anyone with sensitive skin could be bothered by a cheaply made ring. If it bothers your skin, you can always take it back.
If you don't have a problem with wearing fake diamonds without claiming they're real, I see no problem for you to wear them. If you aren't trying to impress anyone, just don't worry about it. If you don't make a big deal about your jewelry, chances are, other people won't either. But if you went around saying, "Oh my GOSH, look at my diamonds!!!" and it was something from Claire's, then others would go the "Those are soooo fake" route.

Answer 4

Umm. Fake diamonds are way better than real ones. With a fake one, no one had to die for you to get that diamond. Read about it one day, all the suffering and deaths that go on for people to be able to buy ridiculously high *real* diamonds. Lab-created diamonds are basically the same thing and a lot more ethical.

And also about getting an infection, all that matters with that is what metal is used for it. The diamond or fake diamond or whatever doesn't matter at all. You can get the ones that are made out of silver or gold or whatever metal you want that have fake diamonds in them.

Answer 5

Aww you're so cute. LOL. You need a fake diamond ring. You are a young girl and they are fun. I think you should get one and have fun with it. The earrings should be fine since people pierce ears at Claires. And, they are cheap enough that if they bother you, you dont have to wear them all the time. I think you should get the first ring that also has the wedding band. I finally have a real diamond engagement ring and I love wearing it. You will too!

Answer 6

well, I'm married so I don't have to deal with fake ones any more (haha) BUT when I wasn't I did wear cubic zirc. I couldn't wear the really cheapy ones from claires in my ears because I have a metal allergy to nickel (lots of people do) just make sure that whatever you are getting is surgical stainless steel & you should be fine.

As for the rings, just make sure you take them off when you wash your hands & while you sleep (you don't want your skin to be stained green)

Answer 7

haha. I say go for it!
It's not like someone's going to come up and inspect your earrings. And be like "OMG. are you wearing FAKE DIAMONDS?!?!" Unless they're a stuck up rich snob!

and they're not exactly fake. They're cubic zericona [sp?] another jewel.

And yes and no to the infections. I wear them, and they don't give me infections. But some people are allergic to silver, and it makes their ears puffy and red. So I'd test a cheap pair first before buying them.

Answer 8

Dont wear one on EVERY finger and wear large earings.
A simple ring or a necklace would be fine, but don't try to pull them off as real either.
Jewlery doesnt have to cost hundreds of dollars to be pretty

Answer 9

just dont wear them too long, and your ears& ring finger won't turn green.
you can't get an infection unless you put those earrings in RIGHT after you get a brand new peircing. so if you have had your ears peirced for a long time, you'll be fine. just dont wear it too long.
one school day would be good
but when you get home i would def. advise taking them off, cleaning your ears and the earrings, and then you can put them on the next day.
theyre really cute though. :]
hope i helped

Answer 10

Personally, i don't see the point, and i'm one of those people who can spot a fake from across the room, and i think they're incredibly tacky when the wearer is past the age of ten. ciao.
