Have you ever reconsidered making a diamond purchase because of limited budget or simply because of the price of diamonds?
A few weeks ago DH told me to and get myself a new pair of diamond studs since he knows that I do not wear my diamond huggies often simply because they are a pain to get through the holes. He did not give me a budget so I thought I would limit it to $2000. I was looking for a platinum bezel set with a min .8 tct. (Would prefer 1.0 tct). Then my laptop crashed and died. Thought I would have to spend the money on a new laptop. Then DH got a new laptop for work and I got his old one which is only 2 yrs old this weekend.
The truth is I can afford a new laptop and earrings even larger than the 1.0 tct that I am seeking. I finally realized that it is not the money itself, but what I am willing to pay for the item. I have made a number of diamond purchases in the past and felt comfortable making those purchases, but after seeing the price of diamonds I have decided that I am not willing to pay those prices. So I actually saw a pair of Swarovski crystal studs that I really like and the price tag does not make me think once or twice about the purchase.
