I sure hope it's okay, I've got diamond studs in both ofears. But then again, I don't care if anyone else thinks it's okay.

Answer: Well, unlike rings which are always being looked at. Fake ...
Well, unlike rings which are always being looked at. Fake ear studs (if you buy them for yourself) should not matter too much unless you can afford the genuine ones.

Answer: well its not bad but still, dont. wear one in ur left ear. ...
well its not bad but still, dont. wear one in ur left ear. it doesnt matter whether its real or not. unless u take it out and study it, its kinda hard to tell.

1st Question: Okay, from a girls point of view, I think so. It looks kinda cute! I would prefer one ear, because that looks much hotter, but it's up to you, you're you, and you need to think for yourself! If you think two ears makes you feel hot, that will probably show in your appearance and how you act! 2nd Question: It depends how much you're willing to spend. It's hard to tell the difference now, and you wouldn't really want to risk a genuine earring falling out!! Hope this has been helpful!! -Emma xx

Answer: I think its cute, and if you can afford it, genuine please

One stud looks much better, two is overdoing it. Fakes will do just fine.

Answer: I've yet to see ANY man with a diamond in his ear look ...
I've yet to see ANY man with a diamond in his ear look good. Even if the guy himself looks good, the instant I see a diamond in his ear, I become turned off. It's far too gaudy looking.

Answer: My personal point of view is that anything in a guys ear is ...
My personal point of view is that anything in a guys ear is a huge turn off. Even when you're very cute, once I've spotted the studs, I wouldn't give you another look. If you really desire it, you've got to do it. But please keep it with one stud, two is too much.

I think have one or both ears pierced are fine. And having fake studs are fine too.... I found these really inexpenisive CZ studs here... check it out... http://newdawnjewelry.com/proddetail.asp?prod=ECZR6 or http://newdawnjewelry.com/proddetail.asp?prod=ECZR4

Answer: I think both ears are fine, however if you must go with ...
I think both ears are fine, however if you must go with fakes, make sure they are SMALL and set in real gold. The dead giveaway for CZ is when people buy ones that are obviously too big and expensive for their budget. Stick to a quarter carat for each stone or less and no one will question their authenticity :)

Question: got a Rado watch fake or not help? real diamonds or saphire?
alright I am 15 years old and I recieved a rado watch I actually won it from a very rich girl at a game of poker. she gave me her brothers rado watch in return that I let her off with her owing me 250 dollars. it was a highstakes game. I only recieve the watch, no box, no papers. she said she took it without him knowing. I could care less. I took the watch to La Swiss and they told me its a real rado jublie ceremica watch worth $2000 canadian(yes now it seems cheaper since its not american heh?). very nice watch my teacher took it from me cause he thought I stole it and is uncommon for a 15 eyarold to waer a $2000 watch. I got it back and stuff but the model taht I have has 4 stones. one at 12,3,6,and 9. the stones are tehy diamond or is it saphire or something like that. on the site tehy are reffered to as diamonds but are they really diamonds I doubt it. does any1 own one and know wat kind of stones are in taht watch. I plan on selling it by the way I know I am too young to wear taht

Answer: Should be saphire if not low grade diamonds...don expect ...
Should be saphire if not low grade diamonds...don expect diamonds on a 2000 dollar ring..and btw I doubt people will be willing to pay you 2k for thiat 2nd hand watch without paper, box and receipt... sell it for less than 400 dollars or keep it...advice

Answer: Well, why don't you contact Rado and get the correct ...
Well, why don't you contact Rado and get the correct model name/number and description? With the serial number and other codes on the bottom they can provide you with all information. Tell them you inherited the watch or something like this as your story sounds quite weird. If you like the watch, you should keep it - you'll never get a "real" value while selling on Ebay or similar - perhaps 300 Dollars...

They only sell those in like pink and purple flowers/stars for 5 yr old girls. Its kinda like days of the week panties they just don't work after a certain age. I would suggest either letting him get the real deal(depending on how old he is) or just give him some lame excuse explain that he needs to wait until he's older or something.

Try your local shopping mall/plaza. There are accessory boutiques in the malls that carry that type of thing. Costume jewlery is very popular among the teens (particularly girls), so if you know any parents of teens to ask, try them as well.

Go to freecz.com and ask Wink Jones if he can custom make a "stickable" stud for you. I've seen his work on Sims Talk (a website for cz devotees), and everyone swears by him. Your son could probably get a beautifully cut, mom-approved stud for under $20. If you have someone make the stud for you, the chance of it losing its "stickiness" and falling off of his ear will be greatly reduced. I know that if such a thing were to happen to16 year-old brother, the embarrasment would send him right into a piercing kiosk to get the real thing behindparents' back. Good luck :o)
