Yeah I buy genuine... but I buy from outlet and factory stores most of the time. I don't care if its a season old. I like the quality of the real thing. I am not a big accessory person though so I don't buy a lot of that type of stuff.
I also only wear real jewelry, not costume jewelry. I am allergic to fake earrings and within an hour my ears get red and itchy and painful. With rings my fingers turn green usually. I find that decent looking costume jewelry is more than 1/2 the price of something real anyways so I'd rather save a bit longer and buy the real thing. At Kohls sterling silver is usually always 70% off, so I get silver rings and earrings a lot and they are super cheap at less than $15 a piece.
