I've noticed that stand-in rings have skyrocketed in popularity. I guess we have some B-list celebrities to thank for that. Meh, it's all bling to me (ducks for cover from the sim-loathers).
I have a question, though. What the hell is the point of having a stand-in, you know, for "safety reason", if the stand-in is just as obnoxiously big? Or worse, I've seen people who have stand-ins that are even more ostentatious than their real jewelry!
Can we talk about this? I have scratched my head at Kim Kardashian and some of those Real Housewives of(insert whatever city here) "celebrities" talking about their stand-in rings. What the heck is the point? Then I figure, well, at least these rich people can afford security teams and have paparazzi following their tail, so if anyone were to try and maul them, it would be really really hard.
But what about normal people? Wha?!?
I mean, the only reasons I figure out why people wouldn't wear their expensive pieces are:
* because they're going to be in a dangerous area and don't want to be robbed.
*****then a large fake ring still is just as dangerous!
* because they're going to be in a low SES community, and they don't want to be seen as frou frou or whatever.
*****then a large fake ring is still being frou frou!
