You know someone isn’t a PSer when...

[pearaffair]

...they don’t know the stats on their ring.

...they think a person only gets one engagement ring!

...and they think the man has to pick it out.

...they don’t like to wear jewelry (WUT!)

...they think all diamonds are the same.

Got any more to add?

And just because a thread is better with pictures:

You know they’re not a PSer when they’d never dream of trying on jewellery for fun!

Check out these 3ct and 4ct beauties!

...they think red gems must be rubies. I overheard ladies wonder aloud about what spinels are despite the signs at the Al Thani exhibit. "Spinel? Is that a kind of ruby? What the heck is that?"

 

[Madam Bijoux]

When their jewelry is encrusted with grease and other muck.

 

[Snowdrop13]

When they tell you about the E VVS GIA XXX diamond they got for a steal at the local “high end” jewellery store and you cry inside when they tell you how much they paid........

 

[Madam Bijoux]

When they think Asscher is a character on “How to Get Away With Murder”.

 

[AV_]

They'd reckon that diamonds only go out at night & are unmentionable even then.

Way more in the same vein is unmentionable...

 

[Gussie]

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

 

[Gussie]

When you don't know the difference between cut and shape...

Can you imagine?

 

[YadaYadaYada]

They look at you like you have ten heads when you tell them about the latest ring you bought to add to your already overflowing collection.

 

[OreoRosies86]

If you haven't checked out a stranger's bling, or if you have you didn't need some serious restraint to keep from asking to try it on.

 

[Octo2005]

If you haven't checked out a stranger's bling, or if you have you didn't need some serious restraint to keep from asking to try it on.

Or for the specs

 

[Bron357]

They think a 5 carat diamond is simply x 5 the price of a 1 carat.
They think having a mass of wee diamonds set to resemble a single stone, is the same as a single stone and no one can tell the difference.
That the valuation they got from the “mall shop jeweller” for insurance purposes is actually how much their ring is worth to re sell it.
They think those expensive “lifetime polishing and repair” add ones offered by some mall shop jewelers are actually worth buying - read the fine print peoples!

 

[stracci2000]

When they don't know that stats on their ring.....yes!
Drives me bonkers

 

[jaysonsmom]

When they think anything over a carat is a HUGE rock.

 

[GliderPoss]

They think having a mass of wee diamonds set to resemble a single stone, is the same as a single stone and no one can tell the difference.

UGH THIS! Seemed quite popular for a while in the 90's, early 2000's, I actually had acquaintances boasting about how BIG their custer-f*ck of an ering was....



(Cluster rings CAN be done really well, ie. vintage floral style but I'm more referring to above! KWIM?)

 

[pearaffair]

Omg you guys have me roaring!!!

When their jewelry is encrusted with grease and other muck.

OMG YES SO TRUE

They look at you like you have ten heads when you tell them about the latest ring you bought to add to your already overflowing collection.

Haha or they look at you like you have ten heads as they say... “is that a new ring??!!!!” Same thing as what you said but omg. My one friend always does this.

Or for the specs

Or they’d never dream of asking to take a pic of a stranger’s bling! Like I did yesterday....

 

[Slickk]

When they don’t have any bling pictures on their phone. How many times I have opened my phone to show a picture to a colleague/friend/family only to be embarrassed by my camera roll that looks like a jewelry website.

 

[JPie]

When they don’t have any bling pictures on their phone. How many times I have opened my phone to show a picture to a colleague/friend/family only to be embarrassed by my camera roll that looks like a jewelry store.

Guilty as charged.

Hahaha me too!!!

Baby and bling. That’s it.

 

[dk168]

Can't tell the differences between a MRB and an OEC, or an EC from a Radiant.

[Bron357]

Guilty as charged.

OMG.... THIS....... just last week.
I’m looking through my phone for the photo of my dogs surgery scar for an dog person acquaintance ..... looking back up at said acquaintances face who says “you take photos of random jewellery ?
Oh no, that’s all my own jewellery .......and watching as the slightly raised eyebrows look morphs is a mouth agape look!

 

[Lovesparklesparle]

When they believe in bargains

When they think bigger is always better

When they think if the mall appraisal says 20k and they insure it for 20k, the replacement ring will be worth 20k

 

[stonewell]

Or... they don’t have 100+ shots of the same, exact piece, because the lighting, angle, details have to be just right to qualify.

 

[Slickk]

Or have a ‘Rings’ photo album on every device they use....

 

[luv2sparkle]

When they don't clean their rings every day...

When they don't take off their rings when applying lotion...ewww.

When they don't get excited or even notice their ring throwing off sparkles in airplanes or the car.

When they don't go to certain stores and get excited about how their diamond look under their lights.

 

[Weeivy73]

Guilty as charged.

Hardly any photos of anything else!

 

[strawrose]

Guilty as charged.

When they think Macy’s is a great place to get engagement rings. True story with my personal trainer.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

They don't have special little ring dishes next to the sinks in the kitchen and bathrooms and an extra special little jewelry box by the bed to keep them safe at night.

 

[Dancing Fire]

When they don't understand why my diamond is blinding their eyes.

 

[Bron357]

When they don't understand why my diamond is blinding their eyes.

That’s because you have too many carats in your household and you aren’t even a vegetarian which leads into another conversation I survived
“I don’t understand why they measure diamonds in carrots, I mean why carrots?”
