for a special occasion.
it is always harder to find a "mind clean" stone than a eye clean stone. |

No.
 Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn |

Maybe as "something borrowed" for her wedding. That's about as special as it gets. I don't have anything worth borrowing in my opinion, but I have 4 2mm bands, 2 are diamond encrusted and friends have wanted to borrow those before. I simply said "no" and moved on. I also have a pear solitare right hand ring that people have eyed, but weren't bold enough to ask

No, because even if it's insured, I don't think you would be cxompensated if it were someone else wearing it who lost it. I agree with Sizzle as "maybe" for "something borrowed" at her wedding, but outside of that, no.

I'd have to check with the insurance company, but assuming it was covered...sure, why not - they're just things? I loan stuff to friends all the time.

Family yes, friends I have known forever and really trust, possibly.. I also have "friends" that tend to lose things that they admire of someone elses just because they cannot find it themselves . So I have a tendency to go with no....

Never. I would let them borrow my significant other before I would let them borrow my jewelry.

I too may let them if it were for 'something borrowed' at their wedding. But my friends also lose stuff or have kids that destroy everything, so I tend to not lend any of my things to them. Of course I learned the hard way with some of them. LOL Ah well, it's easier now to just say no.

Sure! I have done so in the past and will in the future.  I actually have a blue sapphire pendant that was my grandmas that has been the something borrowed and blue for many weddings. I've loaned earrings and rings out as well.  Run turkey, RUN! (Little man in the avatar is my nephew.) |

my best friend got married 4 years ago...her (now) husband had small diamond huggie hoops sent to the room where we were dressing...they were in white gold. she had selected a typical (faux) pearl drop wedding-y(word?) earring and necklace with yellow gold plating. so of course, she wanted to wear her new earrings. i whipped off my diamond heart pendant and she wore it for the day. i was necklace-less all evening but i am kinda thrilled that my pendant is in her wedding photos,etc and we are the best of friends in the whole world so a little piece of me was with/on her that day :) other than that scenario-heck NO!!!

I lent a friend a diamond ring, and she lost it. So my answer is no  now

It depends on the friend and which piece. But, yeah. Probably.

YES. i have let countless friends borrow things. i have lent out a pair of my earrings for over 6 months to different people getting married. i will finally get them back in 2 weeks after she gets married. i've also had necklaces, bracelets, rings lent out. all of these girls are really good friends. so i wouldn't let acquaintances borrow any, but really good friends, definitely! i trust them, and i'm sure they would do the same for me. yes it is jewelry, but there are some things more important than material things sometimes.

Absolutely...and I have. As long as I think she's responsible and would treat it with care, I'd absolutely do so. I don't worry about loss....it's a thing. It can be replaced. I loaned out my leverback earrings for one girlfriend's wedding. For another, I loaned my diamond studs/jackets and my bangle bracelet. I'm flattered my friends like my jewelry and I'm happy to loan it. The only thing I won't loan is the diamond tennis bracelet my husband gave me for our anniversary. That's too sentimental to risk loss. Allison Dewey...."Alj" |

It would depend on the piece of jewelry they wanted to borrow, and on the person, but I am going to say that I probbly would.

1)If you can live without that particular jewelry permanently, 2)If he/she never owes you money 3)If you have loan him/her your stuff in the past and been returned on time If you answer yes to 2 of the 3, than the answer is yes. HTH

I don't own any jewelry that isn't from my husband, so no. If I had stuff I had bought myself, then maybe, but I don't think anyone should be allowed to wear stuff my husband bought just for me, except ME.

Friends no, but DD yes. I did lend a very close friend a beautiful choker for a special occassion. She broke it, was heart sick about it. Had it fixed and gave it back to me. But she doesn't ask anymore. I don't offer either, hehe.

For friends, it would depend on the person and the piece, of course, but in general yes. For my sister, SIL, cousins, mother, MIL: absolutely yes.

I wouldn't. Only because anytime Ive ever lent anyone anything, something goes wrong, or gets lost, or broken.....

Date: 10/8/2008 1:57:48 PM Monkey, this really sums it up for me, too. All of my really quality pieces were given to me as gifts by DH, and I just wouldn't feel right allowing someone else to wear them. I guess it's a sentimental thing. Author: MonkeyPie I don't own any jewelry that isn't from my husband, so no.

Its a no for me too. My husband bought my jewellery and I wouldn't lend it out to anyone. Even my family.
