The Wow Factor...

[Libster]

Nan,
I think I''m stuck with going to the same jeweler where we purchased the studs. They have a 100% trade-in value so that''s the good news. They were purchased long before the discovery of PS, so I''ll be a little wiser with the upgrade. The only problem will be hubby...I see lots of these

in his future that night! I really need to scope out the inventory and try on a couple of pairs to determine the exact size I like and how much it''s going to hurt his wallet. I know that I need to go with the size I''ll be happiest with forever because Hubby will tire of the diamond game sooner rather than later

Libster I''m in the same boat. I''m sticking with my jeweler too for the 100% towards upgrades.
She is holding my ''next" stud upgrade. She is very patient with me. I''ve got to work on hubby- but he doesn''t drink. Darn

Oh, Victoria's Secrets can help there!

Wait a minute, let me take that back....just looked at who posted this (Sevens One).... maybe adding another kid is counterproductive to buying a diamond....

(yes I am LOL!!!)

 

[Kaleigh]

8 KIDS, OH MY!!!

 

[sevens one]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You can stick a fork in me WS- cause I be DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kaleigh]

Oh, come on what''s one more??

 

[sevens one]

You don''t seem to get it.

I made SURE I was done.
Angello was the end all be all.

 

[orbaya]

Buy it.

Every girl needs to have that one OUTRAGOUSLY fun piece! You can make a practical purchase the next time around. If you want it so badly, is this something you can get later, or is this a one-time deal? Will you regret it down the road if you pass it up?

Besides, I want you to buy it because I want to see it

.


edited to say: I see you already got the necklace! Good girl! LOL

 

[Mara]

Libster please us know how the diamond earring upgrade goes and if the WINE works!!

Oh and beprepared with a number on what extra $$ you are looking at...it helps them if they don't have to imagine the horrors of what to come, you can just tell them straight out.

Well I never said anything about Christies!

 

[crafftygrrl]

RockChick,

OMG, some of these almost made me fall off my chair!!!

Personal faves are the sapphire and diamond earrings... It caused a left-side/right side of the brain argument. Left Side: "Buy me" Right side "With what!!!". Sapphires are my birthstone.

I also liked the flexible diamond necklace and the big yellow diamond ring --15 carats on my size 4.5 right hand. Sounds about right to me!

Thanks for posting.

 

[websailor]

We're definitely in WOW factor territory for me now....

Love all these latest postings! It's just my skinny wallet that hates them!
