You know someone isn’t a PSer when...

[Phoenix]

When their jewelry is encrusted with grease and other muck.

This!!

My friend, whom I've posted about here a few times, who owns a 12 or is it 14ct MRB and a 20ct radiant as well as 6ct each studs (or is it 4ct? I lost track, haha) and an all-diamond Cartier pave Love bracelet NEVER EVER cleans her jewellery. It drives me freaking bonkers!!

 

[pearaffair]

@missy lol yes!!! Have never heard of upgrading! And are shocked by it when they do!!

 

[mrs-b]

When friends receive gift certificates for their birthday, and they AREN'T to a jewelry or diamond store.

Like - seriously - what is THAT all about??

 

[pearaffair]

You know someone’s NOT a PSer when...
...a coworker shares an experience of “I thought of you this morning, when I was in the shower & realized my rings weren’t on my finger. I left them in my locker at the gym, last night!! lol!”.
Lucky her, they were STILL THERE! I asked her if she or her DH had insured them, and her exact response to me, as she looked at me over the top rim of her glasses was, “I don’t have YOUR rings.”
Love this woman, but I nearly had a STROKE, when she told me!!!

Haha I love this! “I don’t have YOUR rings, [dahling]” as she looks over the top rim of her glasses... hahaha I love it.

Girl, you qualify. Not all of us clean our rings every day. I don't but I definitely qualify as a PSer. So do you.

We don’t clean our rings every day but we KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

True dat!

LOL right? What's up with that?

Upgrading is A OK and as long as we are sticking with the same dh it's all good.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

When they think clarity enhanced is a good thing

 

[jaysonsmom]

When you have to explain to non PSers that washing your hands with soap while wearing rings does NOT qualify as cleaning them!

 

[Gussie]

When they don't carry a loupe at all times. I have one in each purse!!!

 

[Gussie]

When they don't obsess about the next upgrade very shortly after the previous upgrade is set.

Raises hand, ducks head in shame.

 

[ac117]

When they DON'T shamelessly take pictures of strangers' bling to show your PS also-bling-addicted besties!!!

 

[mrs-b]

This would send me Out. Of. My. Mind.

I know I've told the story on PS about going in to hospital and making my husband bring my ultrasonic in at visiting hours so I could clean all the nurses' bling. But if it was my best friend??? We'd have a rule in a New York minute that before we ever went ANYWHERE, she had to run her jewelry through my cleaner!!

 

[jaysonsmom]

When they don’t understand why you have two toothbrushes in your drawers at work. One for your teeth, and one for emergency ring cleaning!

 

[Ally T]

When they DON'T shamelessly take pictures of strangers' bling to show your PS also-bling-addicted besties!!!

Have you been stalking me again....?!

 

[CHRISTY-DANIELLE]

When the girls in your office invite you to a "jewelry party" ( cuz, "you love jewelry"), and are dumbfounded when you sit with a polite smile, not buying a thing, while they ooh and ahh over the plated base metal and rhinestone crap being offered ...

 

[tigertales]

...if they don't know the difference in platinum alloys, and why it matters.

 

[jaysonsmom]

When they don't take bling pics in the carpool lane, grocery store, ski slopes, etc.!

Yes! That is why I love shopping at Costco. Best place to gawk at my own bling and take pics because the lighting is spectacular!

 

[MarionC]

This thread is making my day. Hard to think of anything to add, but I’ll try...

when you don’t have a photo of your latest finds, even if they are ridiculous (???).

 

[jaysonsmom]

When they don't wave their hands around in the car to see the sparkling flashes dance on the dashboard or ceiling of the car.

i love that little robot!

 

[bludiva]

...when they don't have a separate social media account, email, etc. for their bling gawking/buying/selling

 

[Weeivy73]

I have @JPie’s ring in my iPhone too!

Mamabean I love that so many on here just love each other's bling. I have multiple ring screenshots from Lang's for inspiration for when I re design my current engagement ring. Love the pave look with OMC's and I'll use the 1.5ct oval ruby in my current ring.

 

[LaylaR]

That's an easy one! When a client orders a setting without inquiring or specifying the shape of the prongs. No one is pickier about prongs than Pricescopers.

HAHAHA SO TRUE!!! And when they don’t know that claw prongs exist...

 

[Nikki1415]

When a person buys fine jewelry at the mall.

It’s the truth! That’s why most of us stalk the pre-loved thread..hoping our favorites go up for sale!

 

[KaeKae]

When she pulls you into a mall store to "see" something, then tries to talk YOU into buying something because it's a "great deal." Mmmhmm frozen spit, it was.

Or, long before PS, even: When she declares for all to hear that she "so relieved he got me a carat." Ring was lovely, but center was no more than a half, more like a third, and the pave couldn't possibly have made up the rest for a total one carat.

 

[Octo2005]

When they have Instagram, that is not entirely bling pics. Really isn't that what IG is for?

 

[Bron357]

When you get to the train station and realize you forgot to wear a RHR so you miss the train and rush back home to get a RHR to wear because you figure it’s better to be 30 minutes late for work than spend all day having “heart attacks” every hour or so thinking you’ve “”lost your RHR” before you remember you weren’t wearing one!

 

[mrs-b]

When they *haven't* sent a hand drawn ring design to a jeweler.
