You know someone isn’t a PSer when...

[MamaBee]

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

I sent inspiration photos with scribbles over the parts I don’t like and circles around parts that I do...They certainly don’t even care that much to do that!

 

[lyra]

When they're completely skeptical about buying diamonds online, be it vintage or modern.

 

[MamaBee]

Their husbands don’t say “It’s the cut..” when you mention that the diamond is so sparkly! He completely floored me because he’s not into jewelry and doesn’t seem that interested....He just wants me to be happy! When he saw my face after the cut remark he laughed and said...“What do you expect when I hear you talking about the cut all the time..”

 

[tonielle]

When they correct me to tell me that “solitaire” is a shape. WHAT?

Me: I love engagement rings with a round center stone
Them: you mean solitaire
Me: no, round.
Them: yeah, a solitaire!

*eyeroll*

I do love round solitaires though! Lol

 

[pearaffair]

When they would never consider buying USED jewelry!

 

[Slickk]

When they would never consider buying USED jewelry!

OMG, yes this! And then also can’t believe I sell some of mine,

 

[Crazie4Cuts]

When they pronounce culet as CUTLET!

 

[MarionC]

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.

Love this.
“You know someone is not a PSer if they think they have to get a new husband to get a diamond upgrade”. LOL

 

[tigertales]

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

When they can't identify at least five out of eight of these pieces of jewelry in the photos right off the bat!

[dk168]

Showing a colleague a nicely cut sparkly oval white Zircon about 12mm X 9mm, for her to ask if it was a diamond!

I responded I would not need to work if I have diamond that size to wear casually!

When they're completely skeptical about buying diamonds online, be it vintage or modern.

When they’re even more skeptics about buying diamonds online off of LT and DB!

 

[Nikki1415]

When they pronounce culet as CUTLET!

At least they know the terminology, no matter how wrong their pronunciation is hahaha.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

They have never been distracted by bling while in the car and had someone beep at them for sitting at the green light too long.

Maybe that's just me though

 

[Bron357]

When you explain that the gem in your ring is a yellow sapphire and they say “no, sapphires are blue”.
So when you say “sapphires actually come in a lot of colours except red normally” and they give you the “youre a crazy woman” look and then you say “because red sapphires are actually rubies” and they are sure you’re a crazy woman.

 

[mrs-b]

When you put sunblock on your hands and decolletage every single day because you don't want your skin to detract from your jewelry.

 

[MamaBee]

Me too! I got honked the other day twisting my earlobes to see my studs bling out in daylight!

 

[MamaBee]

When you put sunblock on your hands and decolletage every single day because you don't want your skin to detract from your jewelry.

I’m hoping my bling WILL detract from my skin and décolletage!

 

[missy]

When they don't choose their outfit based on the bling they want to wear for the day.

When they don't consider the color of the interior of the car when purchasing based on how it will affect bling viewing.

When their dh doesn't know how to be their bling backdrop model for impromptu bling photo shoots.

When they don't carry a microfiber cloth in their pocketbooks for quick bling shining/polishing/emergency cleaning.

 

[pearaffair]

I thought I was the only one!!!!

I’m hoping my bling WILL detract from my skin and décolletage!

Haha ok me too... it’s a good plan

 

[rainydaze]

When they don't know what a DH is.

 

[ringbling17]

Or when they don’t know what HG or DSS stand for!

 

[Gussie]

Or they don't even realize that DSS is a real unavoidable phenomenon.

 

[lyra]

They think anything from ebay is just someone else's junk. That's okay, more for me.

 

[MamaBee]

The truth! I bought something today from EBay!

 

[pearaffair]

When they don’t trust online shopping at all and feel much more comfortable shopping in a (maul) store.

When they don’t know their ring size.

When they don’t know the difference between white gold and platinum.

When they think silver is always expensive (good job, T&Co!)

When they can’t try their pendant on a different chain, because they ONLY OWN ONE NECKLACE (true story haha)

When they don’t need a box to display their jewellery in because a tiny dish holds it all.

When they buy things other than bling because their budget is not being saved purely for bling!

 

[737liz]

This is my BEST friend, and I love her. She is competent, no frills, practical. But, she cannot see the difference between a piece of salt and a diamond.

Statement while at Tiffany's looking at ering for her: 'I don't want the rose gold because it always rubs off to show the grey underneath'

Also

Q: 'Why is the silver ring more expensive than the gold one, and why is the other silver one labelled gold, it's not yellow?'
A: 'Because it's platinum, and the other one is white gold'
Q: 'Oh is that the same as silver?'

And

'I want a diamond a bit bigger than yours,' (points to my 0.30ct diamond), 'maybe just a little larger, like those' (proceeds to point to my 3ct equivalent 8mm CZ earrings).

Her husband lucked out. He can buy a anniversary presents from Claire's accessories and shells never notice.

These made me laugh!
I have two friends that always remark at how shiny my jewelry is and how they should really clean theirs. I’m afraid to do it because I don’t think they would sparkle any better..

 

[pearaffair]

@737lizakg you made me laugh, too!!!

That was me! b/c the guy behind me honked at me while I was playing with the sparkles of my ring.

Terrible junk
