You know you're a PSer when . . .

[Cozystitches]

When you used to say you preferred buying books but suddenly prefer getting them from the library in order to save up another $20 a week for bling... it adds up over time!

So this!!! However, it applies to most other things I used to save for! So insert yarn instead of books!

 

[Sparklelu]

When your birthday wish list includes calipers!
Also that you have perfected a poker face for those moments when someone waves one of those princess stone invisible set mall rings and says look what I got isn't it beautiful? It's 2 cts!!!

 

[FrekeChild]

When you work towards collecting gemstone rings, earring drops and necklaces in all of the colors of the rainbow...

When the owner of your favorite jewelry store shoos the salesperson away so she can help you herself, telling them "She knows what she's talking about." (In other words, "you're not experienced enough to deal with her"!)

When moving across the country you worry less about packing and moving all of your stuff than you do about packing and moving your bling. (Loose gems, rings, necklaces, earrings, oh my!)

Just got mine in the mail today! My coworkers must think I'm crazy - this is the latest after a diamond tester, 30x loupe, microscope, etc

when . . . white diamonds are looked back on as your introduction to Fancy Colored Diamonds.

 

[junebug17]

When you're at a red light and the guy behind you honks because you're too distracted by the flashes of color coming off your diamond to notice that the light changed.

 

[Haven]

When you're at a red light and the guy behind you honks because you're too distracted by the flashes of color coming off your diamond to notice that the light changed.

Ooh, this is a good one!
I imagine most of us have been there.

 

[Polished]

You know how to put your hand lotion on to avoid the stone but the back of the ring doesn't count and you think how other PSers would not be amused by this.

 

[Gypsy]

When you are outside photographing your diamonds and hear two of your neighbors engage in what sounds like a Jerry Springer worthy spat and you don't even consider taking a peek or rubber necking because the light is JUST RIGHT and if you leave, even for a minute, it might change and you wouldn't be able to get perfect picture number 303849 of your rings.

...........When your *family* pictures are pictures of your jewelry

...........When you set up a *photo shoot* of your jewelry

...........When you see or hear of a celebrity getting engaged, you Google her just to see if you can get a closer look of the details of her ring

...........When you're watching TV, spot a lady's engagement/wedding ring, pause the show, and super zoom at just the right angle just so you can see the details of her ring


I know I'm late to this, but just had to post. This is a super fun thread! I can relate it to all!

 

[jaysonsmom]

.....when you go into bathroom to brush your teeth in the morning, and pick up your alternate toothbrush to clean your diamonds instead! And then leave forgetting to brush your teeth.

 

[SparklieBug]

…when driving and seeing the license plate of the car in front of me had “MRB” in it. I instantly thought it was part of a sparklie fiend’s vanity plate. But no…it was a regular plate number.

 

[Mreader]

.....when you go into bathroom to brush your teeth in the morning, and pick up your alternate toothbrush to clean your diamonds instead! And then leave forgetting to brush your teeth.

Or when you’re brushing your actual teeth with your ultrasonic toothbrush and you decide to hit your rings with it also.

 

[Tonks]

You carry a loupe in your purse.

 

[Ionysis]

You watch the movie Along Came A Spider and from the point in the film where the kidnappers ask for $10 million in diamonds - half carat each, D colour and SI2 - you cannot focus on anything else in the film. Why? Why SI2 clarity? WHY?!!!!!

 

[jaysonsmom]

I just realized I dug up this oldie but goodie thread that is almost 10 years old!

How about this one.....your teens find a mandrel in your night stand and think it's some type of kinky toy.....

 

[YadaYadaYada]

You change your rings in the afternoon so that the other rings don’t feel left out.

 

[stracci2000]

You wear some rings overnight just to say they got some love

 

[stracci2000]

You change your rings in the afternoon so that the other rings don’t feel left out.

I do this, too!

 

[stracci2000]

You pick out your shirt for the day based on the necklace you want to wear

 

[stracci2000]

You touch your earlobes all day long to make sure the earrings are still there

 

[Calliecake]

You show your grandniece a picture of @stracci2000 box of rings on PS and tell her maybe we will be lucky enough to have this many rings some day.

 

[icy_jade]

You play ‘2 truths 1 lie” with your colleagues and half the team thinks that having more than 50 rings is a lie
