Our dentist gives out little toys to the kids after their appointments if they behaved. I still remember the look of shock on my son's face when we were talking over the dinner table, and he discovered that his "ruby" ring was a fake. "Mom, we need to tell the dentist right away. He thinks these are real rubies!" It was hard not to laugh at the kid, and it took quite a bit of convincing him that, no, we were not going to call the dentist to tell him his ruby and sapphire kids' rings were fakes, because the dentist already knew that. I think this was one of those growing up moments for our son, like discovering there is no Santa Claus.Date: 7/16/2009 10:51:59 AM

whoo hoo! my DD has little fake rings and always say she wants her own diamond, then she looked at my bezel band and said 'mom, thats too small for you, its an Auny (her shortened name) ring' I'll get her some real ones in a bit, when I know she won't break them

Just saying that you don''t need to give DD the real thing too early. The fakies will work fine for a long time.
