No one notices my new 5ctw e-ring upgrade!

The only time that it''s "rude" to compliment someone on their jewelry is if it''s done in front of other people, meaning you pay one individual a personal compliment and not the others. This is improper as far as any compliments are concerned.

Otherwise, I LOVE getting and giving compliments about jewelry, and I''m sure I''d be complimenting this gorgeous 5 ct ring if there was a picture to admire!

I''m curious. . . why do people think it''s rude to comment positively on another gals beautiful bauble?
I mean, we wear it on our finger, we''re not hiding it.
I wonder if people who haven''t reacted positively to a compliment may have appreciated it, but not be used to accepting compliment graciously?
I''m tellin'' ya, it''s a lost art and that''s sad!

KWIM?

I completely agree! As long as you give a simple ''I love your ring!'' or ''What a beautiful ring!'' I don''t think it''s rude at all. Even if it is a big honker! Let''s be real...98% of people probably wouldn''t be wearing a big ol'' ring if they didn''t want it to be noticed!

I love it when people compliment my ring, and I always respond graciously. Even if I do get a weird comment, like ''How much was that?!'', I just smile and say ''I don''t know because I didn''t pay for it!''

I agree-complimenting is good! I just don''t tend to strike up conversations with strangers and I guess I might feel a bit weird if I was stuck in a lift, say, with someone who said avidly ''That is a great diamond!'' and stared at my ring like they wanted to eat it (True story)!

I absolutely comment on people''s jewelry if the opportunity arises!

Case in point-was eating lunch in a restaurant today when a woman with a gorgeous sapphire and baguette diamond bracelet sat down at the table next to me. I wanted to pull out a camera and start taking photos (to post here, you understand-I have a sickness) but just restrained myself! I do see Strm''s point too about guys commenting on jewelry-maybe some people might feel vunerable in that situation??

LMAO! The lighting in the elevators at my office is amazing -- it makes my ring shoot off rainbows. I get more compliments in the elevator than anywhere else.

I can''t believe that we have three pages of dialogue about this gorgeous ring, and no one has posted a picture????

Yes, this is becoming rather cruel. Time to put up or shut up.

When I see LARGE stones (except at GTG''s) I don''t say anything. I just send covetous glances when no one is looking, craning my neck to get a better view. I always assume the person if comfortable with their stone, get bothered a lot, and while I would LOVE to grab their hands and stare... I think that would be rude of me.

So... that could be it. I promise though, shoudl you and I ever meet your rock is gonna get the ogling of its lifetime.

You''re so sweet Gypsy -- thanks... and you really helped me out when I was shopping (thanks again!)
I only hope to meet some of the great people of PS -- I would oogle AND compliment them on all their jewels!!!

Aww. You don''t have to thank me. You have a stunning asscher, and I know you are happy with it, which I think is the best thing about the whole thing.

I hope you get to meet some PSers in person soon too!

Thanks again everyone for all your comments... guess we beat this one up...
... sit tight for pics...if I don''t get my band today, it will be next week... just wish I had a better camera.

On an off topic, (threadjacking my own thread?)
.. has there ever been an "annual" PS GTG? I see so many different ones (LA, NY, Chicago etc) but wondered if they ever organized one big gtg somewhere... how fun would that be?!
