hmmm... no not really. she gets a lot of compliments but it hasn't got to the snide point; I guess because it's not gaudy in size.

My best friend's mom has a 5 karat boulder on her finger and I've seen it happen many times to her though... comments in the background where you can hear other women saying "there's no way that's real," in a condescending way. haha.. that shit is annoying.

my dad's wife made it clear she had to have a tiffanys ring. lol it's small though i mean my dad does alright and is in the 6 figure bracket but he certainly can't afford a 3kt tiffanys ring so she got like a 1kt i think. whatever it's little but she doesn't care, it HAD to be tiffanys. for the amount of money he spent, he probably could have gotten her a rock from like mayors or something. oh well everyone is different. when it comes to diamonds, i'm more of a quantity over quality. fuck quality, it's a big sparkly rock you wear on your finger...who gives a shit how "pure" it is or whate brand name it is

I'd rather have something original. Get me something with pearls and diamonds (like the necklace I got for the holidays ) or something... or if all diamonds, an unusual design. I don't need fancy, I just want something that looks like you put a LITTLE more effort into it that "that one."

and 17sss, don't get me wrong - I'd be freaking showing off that ring to anyone who could see (the one you bought)

ps can you post picture of the ring plzkthx!

what is wrong with getting another stone in general and bypass that diamond look entirely? also, your dad got hosed if he went to tiffany's, yes they get good stones but so do other places if you take the time to look. not saying you should go to zales or a store like that but paying for tiffany's is like asking to be screwed.

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Amazing how much the price increases for rings with the Tiffany name on them. I remember talking to a guy at Mayors when I was shopping around, and he showed me the documentation on how they get their diamonds from the same distributer that Tiffany's does. Mark-up madness!

I want to acquire wealth doing something I love. I want to reach a point in life where money is never a concern. But I never want money to become the focus of my life.

let me find the exact one from the designer's website... I've tried to take photos with my digital camera but the light reflection always makes the stone look blurry. hang on...

my uncle did that with his wife. she loves purple and amethyst so she has a huge amethyst rock with some little diamonds around it and the band is really cool and detailed.

personally, i'm really big on the crystal thing. crystals sparkle beautifully and are so much cheaper than diamonds. i'm with sarah, i'd want something original...like a huge crystal and then maybe our birth stones as side stones or something cool like that.

oh well i'll take whatever he buys, but he knows i'm not into the fancy diamond shit and that i like crystals.
