ALL MY WEDDING DREAMS ARE BEING FULFILLED.

I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN

ITS 370,000 YEN. SO ITS OVER $3000. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

THAT BETTER BE REAL GOLD AND RUBIES FOR THAT PRICE DAMNNNNN

This is hilarious. It's gold-plated brass and Swarovski crystals and it's over $3000... They're really making fun of us, aren't they?

Yeah, I was excited for it at first until I read it was fake gold and pearls and for that much money?  I could understand that price if it was real but there's no way I'm paying that much for fake gold.

this is indeed mocking at this point. i know we're older and we have jobs and money....but damnit this is going just too far!

....cannot deny it is lovely though.damnit.

yeah...its ridiculous. Could probably buy it hand made for much cheaper. Like my engagement ring is white gold with lab create pink sapphire and small diamonds and it did not cost much more than $500....

Exactly. I bet I can find an online jeweler who would make this tiara for me out of silver or even gold (or at least gold-plated silver!) and with actual gems and it would not cost more than 700$ shipped - and that's being generous!

If you buy this tiara and take it to a jeweler to estimate its worth, he or she would probably assume it's some cheap Hot Topic trinket 

I'm going to admit. When I first saw this, it looked like plastic to me.

I'M UPSET ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I CANT HAVE IT AND EVEN IF I COULD I WOULDNT REALLY WANT IT BECAUSE ITS TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THE QUALITY 

Just goes to prove they want the $$$$. For nothing but fake gold and pearls? This is a freaking robbery. And there will be some SM fans to buy into it, leading bandai to do more of this BS for anime loving fans in the future. Talking about milking it for all its worth.

$3000 for fake gold and rhinestones?

Nope, not going for it

I can have one made for so much less, but way to go bandi upset the fans. that's a great plan, I feel bad for the people who get this, cause it's just not worth it.

ehm ... I want a fake one XD

Not worth it honestly.

So I was talking to a friend who does a lot of work with metal and jewelry type stuff and asked if it is at all possible for something like that to cost over $3000 and she said depending on the karat of gold the plating is, it very well could be plus factoring in the collectible hype and its by some designer dude... just made me go .____.

The creation of this item has pretty much determined that I will never have a complete BSSM merch collection. Honestly, at that price it's not worth it if it's not even real. Kinda sad, because it's so pretty.

//Secretly I want it so bad tho//

It's so purdy tho ;___; 

Buuut, you could easily make this yourself out of sheet metal and craft store supplies!!

Well, that's disappointing.  At least that's some sort of explanation, I guess.

As for me, I'll wait for the inevitable bootleg.

Plus if you put the word wedding on something people just charge more. 

it's too bad though cause its so pretty.

Weddings are overrated anyway. One could just wear this for cosplay or just around the house when feeling superior on a given day.

If I ever get married, I'm going to make it as non-traditional as possible.

Has anyone been gullible enough to buy this yet?

probably. Someone let me know when china starts producing bootlegs-anime merch bootlegs are normally fair quality.

Kill me all day I've just been sad that I'm gonna have a crappy wedding and have nothing I want because I'm poor and then I saw this

^Don't worry about it. It's just over glorified costume jewelry anyways. at least that's what I've been telling myself.
