Got my gf the ring- - lucida ring

[mb]

Hi everyone--

I haven''t posted in a whiile but just wanted to thank the people who have given me feedbacks regarding my dilemma regarding getting my gf the ring that she really wanted--lucida ring from tiffany & co.

Specs:

2.27 carats
D color
VVS2 clarity
ring in platinum
lucida patented cut

It was interesting how my initial budget was between $2,500-3,000 but after talking to some friends and also one of the forum members that i decided to "UP" my budget and get her something that exceeded her expectations. I truly don''t believe in upgrades and would hope that she wouldn''t get tired of this gorgeous ring and get an upgrade on her own. I will post pictures once i get my digital camera fixed.

Thanks again everyone!

Matt

Did you win the lottery or something?

You went from a $2500 "tight" budget to getting a 2+ D VVS2 from Tiffany''s?!!!

Wow!

Holy *BLEEEEEEP*!!

Your original budget is my bf''s budget. If he whipped out a 2.2 carat Lucinda I''d faint! Literally!! Possibly need emergency room treatment! You''d better make sure she''s not standing up near a hard surface.

LOL! Wren that is hilariouse!

MB, congrats on your purchase! You will definately put a BIG SMILE on you girlfriend''s face,

(and be prepared to seek medical assitance just incase she''ll faint from excitement)

Wren, I''ll keep my fingers crossed that you''ll have the same luck with your boyfriend

Sorry, and I hope you prove me wrong, but that sounds a bit odd

How does the budget go from 2-3k to making a MAJOR purchase at Tiffanys????

I guess that''s what love will do to a man''s wallet.

Our budget was originall in the 2-3k range, then moved up to the 3-4k range. I couldn''t imagine him going from 4k to 40k (or more.) I feel guilty enough as it is.

"It was interesting how my initial budget was between $2,500-3,000 but after talking to some friends and also one of the forum members that i decided to "UP" my budget and get her something that exceeded her expectations"

"UP" your budget from $2500-3500 to a 2 carat diamond from Tiffany's? I should say so!! OK what I want to know is who is the guilty PS member who convinced you to up your budget by a factor of 20?! If they aren't in sales for a living they should be!

[E B]

I''m sorry, I can''t believe it either.

This is going to be something I''ll have to see to believe.

 

[AmberWaves]

Good Job! So, uh.. would you care to UP my boyfriend''s budget, too?

Need to see ring.. the room is getting dim... where am I? What happened? We need pics....

 

[allycat0303]

I don`t really understand how a "tight budget" of 2500 to $60K + but I would really like to see pics of this ring

 

[gailrmv]

Congrats, Matt! That is a ring that would make most anyone swoon! Wow! Will you post some pictures?

 

[Tacori E-ring]

'UP' your budget from $2500-3500 to a 2 carat diamond from Tiffany's? I should say so!! OK what I want to know is who is the guilty PS member who convinced you to up your budget by a factor of 20?! If they aren't in sales for a living they should be!

Ok ok! I happen to be the guilty PS member who convinced him to up his budget...but NOT BY THAT MUCH. I CAN'T take the credit for "Up"ing his budget by a factor of 20 and deciding to go to Tiffany's for his purchase - that was all his decision. Getting some information about his gf, the budget seemed inappropriate for her taste.

It's interesting b/c my bf also first had a budget of $3,000. I was trying to perhaps sway my bf to $7,000 and then he proposed with my beauty - I was shocked!

LOL - ok all you ladies that want your guy to get you a nice e-ring send them all to me for a consult

LOL!!

A factor of 20? Yeah like 20 to the power of 2 or 3!!
