For the people who bought fake engagement rings for vacation....

Becca, on March 22, 2019 at 11:44 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 28
Where did you get them, how much did they cost, and do you have pictures??

Sorry for the questions!! I’m going on a trip in a few weeks and as much as I love my ring, if I brought it, I would be worrying about it 24/7. I didn’t want to just wear nothing on my finger, so I wanted to get a fake temporary ring...also didn’t want to spend a lot on it. Any recommendations?

    I am planning on getting a groove ring!
    Practical. Not expensive.
    I work in the medical field and wearing my actual ring is not practical at all. Plus im super nervous on wearing my ring 24/7

    I think that is a wise decision. I just went on Amazon and searched for "CZ engagement rings" and a whole bunch popped up. A pretty 2ct solitaire was $17.99.

    JCPenney has $25 red bow deals on sterling silver 1/10 diamond rings. They're really pretty and very cheap.

    I got my fake ring from Sreema London on Etsy for like $40 I think. It’s sterling silver and cubic zirconia. Looks almost identical to my engagement ring, except my e-ring is a bit rectangular and this one is a square. Hardly noticeable though, I like that people probably wouldn’t notice the difference when I’m wearing one or the other! (In the photos, fake is on the right, real on the left)

    Honestly.. Walmart! I know it sounds cheesy but you get to try them on in the store and they look real! Plus, you’re only wearing it for vaca Smiley smile

    Walmart, Target, Kohls, Claire's, Charming Charlie's all have them for around $10. Paint the inside of it with clear nail polish and let fully dry before wearing it. You'll be good to go!

    You can check somewhere really cheap like Wish. That's where I got my temporary ring. I just keep it in my bedside table until I need it again.

    I just used my Qalo and Enso rings I normally use when I’m working out.

    My only advice is to get a sterling silver ring bc I’ve bought so many of those cheap rings and tried to put the clear nail polish on them but eventually they wear off so bad

    I got a qalo silicone ring. It's great for when I go to the gym or do projects around the house cause it came with a little pouch on a Caribbean that I can store it in when I'm not using it or keep my E-ring in it when I am using it and still always have it on me (or my car keys). We also cruise a lot and I don't feel comfortable wearing something that could make me a "target" while off the ship so I didn't want to get anything sparkly (even fake sparkle). If I happen to not have my Qalo with me, I also wear a claddagh ring that I usually wear on my other hand. I used it last year on our cruise after our engagement since I hadn't bought the Qalo yet.

    I work with chemicals. I didn't want to wear my engagement and wedding rings at work because I was afraid they'd be damaged. I also didn't want something throwaway since I'd be wearing often. So, I got a 3 stone Moissanite ring with a cheap band to wear.

    This isn't the actual ring (or my hand, it's an eBay photo), but it looks just like it! I got a cheap 10k band to wear with it. Total cost for both was $250. Worth it to me to not damage my "real" ring.

    Honestly just Walmart. Super cheap and you can actually get pretty okay quality. If it starts to wear, just add a little clear nail polish.

    Check out Swarovski crystal rings online or Kohl's CZ racks. The crystal would obviously be more... like $75 or so, but the Kohl's rings are pretty and aren't more than $20 on sale.

    Found mine at Charming Charlie for $16 the whole set (engagement and bands). Something with the “stone” a little smaller than this one Smiley smile

    Was just talking to FH about this and me being nervous about him losing his ring while on vacation since he isn’t used to wearing it. And I kinda don’t wanna wear mine and find an alternative. Great advice here!
