Dancing Fire''s Basic Rules! 101

[sevens one]

I thought it would be nice to have them all in one thread.

I''ve got one- (I''ll look for more!)

referring to diamond carat size:

"girls... just remember the basic rules...

if you wear a size 6 ring (i.e.).... you can go up to a 5 ct RB (center stone) or up to a 6 ct (your ring size) for a fancy cut. "

 

[sevens one]

I found another:

"okay ladies... here''s the basic rule again...

for earrings studs .....75% ctw of your e-ring "center stone".

for solitaire pendant .....50% the weight of your e-ring "center stone"

for bracelet.....3 X the weight of your e-ring "center stone"

" dont buy a dog diamond - it will eat your koi..."

Girls, please don''t be brutal as a girdle to DF, he was under family pressure enough lately

 

[Kaleigh]

No fair Irina I was gonna talk about the girdles!!!

ETA: Nan made me wait to find a direct quote, but we couldn't find it. All I know is DF and I went back and forth about those bruted girdles and had me cracking up.

Hey Libster- I''ve been thinking about you.
I hope all is well with you and family!

 

[diamondlil]

Keep ''em coming, Nan. These are priceless!!!

I can remember these comments and cracking up at the time.

I loved this one from DF. He bought a diamond detective kit because.... " I had to show my wife that the diamonds I bought for her were real. She don't trust me"

 

[moon river]

The PROFFESSOR will be so pleased to see his ''students'' working so dilegantly to spread his knowledge.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

A man I know made up this rule: He said "I''m buying my fiancee a ring big enough to make all her friends hate her."

 

[mrssalvo]

i found the girdle quote

 

[Lorelei]

I always remember DF complaining about his ex-thick girdle

but I don''t know if I believe that as I have heard he is a Slim Jim!

 

[sevens one]

this isn''t a rule; but still a classic quote about his 20th anniv.

"she ask me what i want for my 20th. i said....a 2.5 ct rb ideal cut and then all of sudden she has a hearing problem. "

 

[Erin]

one good thing about the store ligthing,if the stone you are looking at don''t go BLING BLING !! you know its a pretty bad stone.
Remember; it''s harder to find a "MIND CLEAN" stone than a eye clean stone.....AKA vtigger86

 

[sevens one]

"according to the basic rules,if you live in a $500k home..

you can buy a car up to $60k= 12% of your home value.
you can buy a E-ring up to $30k = 6% of your home value."

 

[JohnQuixote]

Ah yes. Where would we be without DF-isms?

Starset already mentioned my all-time fav:
Remember; it's harder to find a "MIND CLEAN" stone than a eye clean stone.....

That actually made it to a portion of our website - with credit.

 

[AndyRosse]

LOL, these DF-isms (

) still make me laugh!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Most of us hate rules - but his rules are something we can easily live with!

Hope this encourages him to come up with some more!

 

[Dancing Fire]

okay guys

hee,hee...aren''t we having fun today.

you guys can laugh all you want. there''re some members that went to the jewelry store and try out "the basic rules" and they all agree.

 

[hlmr]

I like this one - I think this should be one of the "basic rules" for men! Spend more money on your FI diamond than on your new vehicle! LOL

quote from DF:

spent $26,500 on a 3+ ct.
spent $24,200 on a truck.

Heather

DF - you ROCK!

 

[Dancing Fire]

[Sundial]

I love all the DF-isms. Any way you look at it by DF''s rules I am owed some serious upgrades! And my husband has still spent more on his cars!

 

[princessv]

I like your rules! I think I should tell my guy some of your rules

[Mara]

UH OH DF I don''t wanna hear your RULES on my toe rings!! They look awesome to me!

''girls with a height of 5''8" can have up to .50ctw of diamonds in their toe rings''...

 

[qtiekiki]

I love DF's basic rules because according to them, I am in need of a lot of major upgrades. I didn't know I was being short changed until DF-ism is factored in. LOL.

And here's one of my favorite DF quotes/responses - from the cosmetic enhancements for the holidays thread:

In response to Rosie's "Well I had breast augumentation and it was the best$7,000 we spent, i should of done it a few years ago when I finished having the kids", DF wrote "WOW !!! thats $3500 each ,could of got a nice pair of earrings."

Then K-mom said "DF, a nice pair is a nice pair, wouldn't you say?"

And DF responded "K-mom, at least the earrings would of been real....like the song say "aint nothing like the real thing baby""
