Yes, it is wise to invest in jewelry and diamonds, but there's also wisdom in choosing fancy blings.
Heart Evangelista herself has fake items, which she mixes with the authentic pieces from luxury brands like Chanel, Bvlgari, to name a few.
In an article published on PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in September 2019, she said, "When I travel, I usually bring all my fake jewelry. Actually, that's my biggest secret!
"Sometimes they are look-alikes of what I already have, except some stuff. Of course, I mix.
"I sometimes bring fake because I'm afraid to travel with real, especially since I like to change up when I'm in Fashion Week. I change my jewelry a lot.
"I love fake stuff too na jewelry... I'm lucky I don't get itchy because some people get itchy."
Heart is not the only star who does not mind wearing fancy blings, and here's why:
AFFORDABLE PRICE
They are usually eye-catchy, perfect for those moments you wish to stand out.
Chances are, the people can't tell they are fake. Hindi pa masakit sa bulsa.
And in case you lose them, hindi masakit sa loob.
For instance, this multi-layered choker tassel choker seen on Anne Curtis, can you guess its price?
It's actually PHP173.00 on Lazada. Ang bongga, di ba!
SAFE TO WEAR
Lovi Poe's beach accessories—love butterfly and wishbone bangles with disc bracelet, moon layered necklace, and gold steel rings and earrings—are all from Imono.

On Shopee, the price range for bangles is PHP 350 to PHP1,950; necklace- PHP330 to PHP1,650; rings- PHP200 to PHP850; earring- PHP200 to PHP750.
TRENDY YET CLASSY DESIGNS
Besties Rhian Ramos and Michelle Dee were spotted twinning in this necklace, which, at first glance, looks like a Tiffany necklace.
But they're actually from The Bas Shop, and the designs, according to the shop's Instagram account, are "inspired" by Rhian herself.
The chain link is called Xavier, which costs PHP999 on Lazada.
The full set—mecklace, bracelet, and earrings—costs PHP1,999.
All these accessories will give you that extra glam without breaking the bank. Nasa nagdadala iyan.
