"Work the room in disguise.
Who says being engaged is all that? The biggest upside is being left alone, once people spot a ring on your left hand. Whether you're trying to dodge dodgy dudes at the bar, heading to a reunion or visiting your nagging grandmother, slip on your Ms.Taken ring and act as if. It says committed, without the commitment.
Polished to a perfect shine, this 2-carat Australian crystal is set in a simple stainless steel band. It starts as a size 7, which your jeweler can easily adjust for you. The classic, simple, elegant design pairs perfectly with any style – and no one will guess that it isn't a genuine diamond." (Via the Ms. Taken website.)
Ms. Taken was kind enough to send me a Femme Fatale ring. I excited opened it and was pleasantly surprised by how realistic (and shiny!) the ring is. Plus, it comes with a handy key-chain case to carry it around in and a set of witty Playaz cards featuring "unsuitable suitors." I've shown my ring to several friends who have ooooh'ed and ahhhh'ed in response. I haven't been able to wear my ring out yet, but I'll be getting it sized soon. And be sure that once I have it on my finger, I'll be going out and "testing" its effects. ;) I wonder what happens if I run into the bf while wearing it? Haha.
