Gifts for Everyone: Fabulous Fakes

Shopping for the glam girl in your life just got easier (and cheaper!). Add an elegant touch to her already fabulous wardrobe with Fauxsie jewels. Grab white gold earrings with amazingly real-looking “diamonds,” like these Asscher Drops (left), for only $400 — Eva Longoria is a big fan. There are even diamond tennis bracelets for only $150 — a must-have in any jewelry box. Unlike other faux-stones, Fauxsie’s are cut like real diamonds, which means they’ll have depth — enough to fool any eye and sparkle in photos.

umm… you can get REAL diamond earrings for 400 dollars… they may not be as big but at least they’re not glass or plastic… save your money for the real thing!

You can get faux diamond earrings at places like Icing by Claires for five bucks. They might go green or cause ear infections, but that’s life. I wouldn’t spend four hundred dollars on some fake diamonds.

Umm, I got these in 2 sizes for xmas and you guys have obviously never seen these (or you’re all the same person — some diamond salesman? — hate much?!). All I have to say is you get what you pay for – $5 earrings are glass and look like $5 earrings – and $400 real diamonds look like $400 worth of diamonds. One little piece of advice though — look like you can afford these when you put them on or people just won’t believe it — rockin these with a halter top and acid wash jeans ain’t gonna cut it. I’ve been wearing faux along side my real stuff since high school and noone’s ever said bupkis!
