Ciel cosplay woes

rose_of_painOk, I'm having some serious debating here on the accessories I need for Ciel.
So there's his two rings and the little pin thing. I was totally for the idea of making the pin originally until I saw how detailed it is and so I know mine will look pretty lame. Found the cheap ring from Micheal's a few people suggested and that can work for the blue one. But I still need the gold one and once again not sure if I'd be able to get the detail if I made it.
I looked on ebay. All items are available but I'd be spending about $20 total on them and to be honest I'm not sure if any of the items are legit as they're all from China and just not sure if I want to spend that much on items that could be rather cheaply made.
Here are the ones I've been looking at:
The ring set
The pin
The question is whether I should just go and buy them or try to make them with the knowledge that they won't have the details on them. What do you all think?
Meanwhile I've been battling all over ebay to try to get myself a top hat but I keep losing auctions. x_x; I want a real nice one but so do a lot of people it seems as I keep getting outbid. Gah!

...Sometimes I fake jewellery with a lot of detail by printing out a picture of it, gluing it to a 3D base and varnishing it the hell on there.

Might try that. ^_^ And I may buy the rings just as I'm not that great at making rings (often end up too tight on my fingers) though I dunno, I do have a similar cheapy ring I found that could work for the blue so all I'd really need is the gold one. *ponders*
