We had about $1500 leftover in gift cards from the wedding after we got EVERYTHING we could POSSIBLY want from Bloomingdales, so I was having a look at the ''fine jewelry'' counter where they were having a Roberto Coin trunk sale.
And there it was. My dream u-prong, 7 stone, .5 ct, G/VVS set in platinum with his branded ''Cento'' stones listed for... wait for it... $1500! The sales lady said "This can''t be right!" and when they checked in with the Coin head office, sure enough it was the wrong price. It was supposed to be closer to $2000. But they had to sell it to me at that price since it was marked at that price.
Minus 20% ''friends and family'' discount
Minus 15% Bloomingdale''s account holder...and...
I got a Roberto Coin 7 stone in platinum for about $1000. But I don''t even have to pay that because of all the gift cards.
I finally placed the order today. 10ish weeks to go until it arrives!
Can''t wait. So excited. I really wanted a u-prong 7 stone. And this one is really perfect.
Oh, and we still have $500 to spend at Bloomingdales. DH wants ANOTHER espresso maker so he can have one in his office too. I guess I better let him now, huh?
