Ladies, Had you ever received any jewelry compliments from a guy?

[Dancing Fire]

 

[VRBeauty]

Yup. My James Meyer three-stone is an equal opportunity compliment grabber!

 

[Tekate]

Yup, a guy I grew up with who's a lawyer in FL with 3 homes and a wife with like 10 carat stone said my engagement ring was beautiful.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Many times
But lots of other men with tiny hands have told me that they think my jewelry is gaudy. I always remind them that Gaudy is my middle name.

Sure... It is oddly intrusive, but by no means the worst.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

yes
the young trainee manager at my mall jewler :roll

to be fair he was actually a hell of a nice young chap and he showed me what he was buying his mother for Christmas

a good salesperson is also a genuine about their compliments
anyway I'll take a compliment from where ever it comes from

HI:

One of the nicest compliments I ever received (about my former ER) was from a colleague/man.

cheers--Sharon

 

[marcy]

Yes, a few times. The one I remember most is a guy hunted me down after a meeting in our big conference room at work and asked to see my diamond up close because he kept noticing is sparkling from across the room.

 

[missy]

Yes, my very first ER compliment came from a gentleman on the subway. I had just got engaged the day before (Sunday) and was on my way to work Monday AM and holding onto the subway bar. A man I did not know but who obviously recognized me (from the subway commute) said congratulations on your engagement. Beautiful ring. Did you set a wedding dat yet?






After that I always turned my ring in to my palm though his compliment was innocuous and he was perfectly nice. No sense taking chances.

My husband notices, but I doubt that counts!

The only time I've received a compliment was when a colleague noticed my cz earrings (yellow canary center with white cushion halo). He said he'd "never seen anything like it before" and that he buys a lot of jewelry for his girlfriend, and that's why he notices. Lucky lady!

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

Yes a few times! My husband also posted a picture of us in his car group chat recently and a bunch of the guys complimented it

 

[Starfacet]

Yes.

 

[Karl_K]

I had to stop doing so because it was freaking some people out.

 

[Matthews1127]

Yes. More than I expected.
Most are older gentlemen who marvel at the size of my stone; most diamonds they have seen are under 1ct. In their minds, my DH is a super hero...lol!
One gentleman was a retired jeweler, and guessed the size, quite accurately.
Most of the compliments I receive generate comments like, “You must have a REALLY good man.”, or “He must REALLY love you!”. I admit, I’m blessed...but not because he showers me with diamonds, or was able to afford to purchase a high quality center diamond, over 1ct. That’s just a bonus...lol!!!

 

[seaurchin]

No, I don't think I've gotten any jewelry compliments from men. I don't think most of them really notice.

 

[jordyonbass]

Being an Opal vendor means I can comment on jewelry and it isn't too weird. Only just a little bit weird

 

[Hounddog]

Yes, and I really appreciated the compliments as the two pieces concerned are two of my favourites.

Both men are family friends who have wives/partners who love beautiful high quality jewellery. So the men have ‘a good eye’ and experience of shopping for jewellery.
They have bought their partners some fabulous jewellery.

I think it’s also the place where you receive the compliment, if you’re on a train or bus in a public place it might be a little worrying as you feel vulnerable, to theft etc. If it’s in a social group or work place etc it’s not such an issue of safety etc!

 

[DAF]

It's a 50/50 mix between male and female compliments. Both my original ER and the OEC get lots of compliments: the original ER on the whole kit and kaboodle (D, well cut sparkler and gorgeous ring) and the OEC for it's sheer size and chunky flashes.

 

[Calliecake]

Many times. They were men I knew well so it didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. If a man who was complete stranger came up and asked me a lot of questions that may make me feel uncomfortable. Where if he just said “pretty ring”, that wouldn’t bother me.

 

[Tekate]

Nope.
