New travel trend: bringing replicas rings

If you see someone flashing jewelry in a vacation spot, it seems that there is a decent chance that it is false. Axios reports a booming company in double rings among travelers worried about losing them or flying them. Additional evidence of the trend is suggested by an increase of almost 500% of the tagged articles #Travelring on Tiktok. The idea is gaining popularity as false diamonds improve in quality, in particular the cultivated variety in the laboratory. In addition, people use dupes even when their real rings are insured, Kegan Fisher, CEO of Jeweler Frank Darling, said to Axios.

His business and others offer replicas for around $ 300, but Buzzfeed (also making the report on the trend) finds several on Amazon and other online retailers for less than $ 20. “Because you know what could ruin a trip to Greece?” Writes Anamaria Giavan. “Immerse yourself in clear blue water to discover that your diamond ring has slipped and swam.” Bride The magazine has also digested this, noting that traveling with a dupe engagement ring can be intelligent – unless the destination is subject to crime. If this is the case, “your false can easily be confused with the real thing and put you in danger.” (More travel stories.)
