faux diamond napkin ring on rolled pink napkin Who doesn’t love a good visual pun? And these gaudy big faux-diamond napkin rings are just too much fun.

For a wedding? Seriously?

Most of the crystal or rhinestone rings designed as napkin holders are intended for tabletop decor at an engagement party, rehearsal dinner or  wedding reception — can you imagine? — so you’ll most often find the napkin rings listed under Wedding Supplies, at most sources.

I’m not sure I’d go there, myself — unless the wedding theme is something like My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding (let’s not go there either, please: a little respect for the travellers?) — but fake diamonds splashing the table decor for a bachelorette party dinner? Absolutely!

I did spot similar “diamond” napkin rings a while back at Bed Bath & Beyond about 4 or 5 years ago, but their version was just a little too, er, understated and scaled-down to carry the same note of whimsy — I mean, really, if you’re not going Shrek-sized, why bother? Trying to make the fake look real is never a winner, which is one good reason to play bold (as shown here) or just fold your napkins, ladies.

Faux works best when it’s frankly over the top!
