Rofl that is funny!!!!!rainydaze|1479561810|4100519 said:This actually happened to us too! At four, my daughter came home engaged and had a gigantic emerald-cut red 'gemstone' ring with a 'diamond' halo and 'diamond' encrusted split shank.... I looked at it from a distance and played along, thinking this kid has good taste, went for a real-looking kid's dress-up ring over a lollipop or rainbow loom version. A few weeks later she was playing with it under different lighting, and damned if the diamonds weren't glittering away like crazy! Let me take a closer look at that, I said. Hmmm, kinda heavy, not plastic. Those aren't plastic diamonds...or iridescent beads...or CZs..... But, they can't be real diamonds even though damned if they don't look it. Now thinking this is costume jewelry vs. plastic dispenser jewelry (only bc my brain couldn't yet grasp that this could be REAL despite all the evidence right in front of me), I go get my loupe, and.... Oh Crap.
Email the mom... yup, her most precious family heirloom ring had gone missing about the time my daughter became 'engaged'!! OMG, rushed that ring right on over to her!!
