Jewelry

I’d say Jared commercials hold the all time high for me. You know, the "He went to Jared” commercials for fine jewelry.

Those damn Head On commercials !

my bf and I have been together for 4.5 years now. he is 31, never married and i’m 30 w/3 girls from a previous marriage that he helps me raise part time (they are ages 10,8,and 7)

we have lived together officially since Feb of this year (I say officially b/c I had an apartment for 3 years but rarely stayed there the last 2 years).

we had talked about marriage awhile back and we both know we want to spend the rest of our lives together. while shopping at costco last week, we walked past the jewelry section and I saw a beautiful flower/butterfly shaped diamond ring. it was very simple but so pretty w/the butterfly in the middle and rows of diamonds on each side. He saw it too and thought that it was pretty but not expensive enough (it was 1300.00). I told him that I have really small hands (wear a size 3.5 in rings) so anything bigger than the 0.70 carats it was would be just too big and I didn’t want anything too expensive anyways-it was about being with him afterall.

we went back to costco again yesterday for some things and saw that the ring was still there so we looked again. he suggested I ask someone to take it out so I could try it on. we did and it was perfect!! It still looked big on my finger and he was suprised by this and told me it was beautiful. I joked w/him that he was going to get me totally attached to it and then he’d be in trouble.

when we got home, he pulled me aside and told me how much he loved me and the kids-wanted to spend the rest of his life w/me and that within 6 months, I’d have my engagement ring. He then said he knew how much I liked the one at costco and that he also knew that it was one of a kind (once costco sells it, they dont replace it with the same kind of ring). I gave him a big hug and kiss then we went about our day.

i’m trying not to get too excited but this ring was "the ring" kind of like a woman knows when a wedding dress is "the dress"!!

and yes I totally know that the ring isn’t what it’s all about-I explained this to my bf. I am way more excited about being his wife and spending my life with him.

do you think he’ll get it since he knows how much I liked it (and he liked it too) and then him saying it would be soon?!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Even though you dont have a ring yet, you sound to be in a WONDERFUL relationship. Your lucky to have such a man in your life.

Now lets talk about this ring:
Yes that ring is beautiful, BUT , lets say for instance he has to save just a bit for the ring, someone buys it ahead of time, maybe he missed out on it. I do think his intentions are forsure to get you that ring, 100%. If for some reason he missed his oppurtunity, he seams to be the kind of guy who can take a hint. He will look for that same type of ring at a number of other locations. So even though I cant say 100% that he will get you that ring, you can guarentee he will get you one that looks as close to that as possibal.

To end on an even more positive note!
Your going to be engaged! You have a man who is willing to accept you and your children! Never forget how happy he has made you TODAY, and always make him that happy.

I’m a 35 yr old married Momma of 3 great kids and I make unique jewelry. I make cool earrings using bottle caps and other beaded earrings. I also make charm bracelets. I’d like a creative but funky name for my jewelry because I want to have some business cards made up. I would like to combine classy & Southern with that if possible! lol I love in GA and am all about Southern stuff. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! If I chose someone’s name I’ll send you a pair of bottle cap earrings! Your choice either Coke or Beer, I call the beer earrings Beerings! Thank you in advance!

Beerings

I just love that! It’s creative and it makes me wonder what is inside the shop!

I’m trying to avoid middlemen sellers like Shane Company, Weisfield, Jared, etc.

Does anyone know the best source for purchase direct diamond imports so that you get the best prices for your jewelry?

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it

This is a great website and they also have several stores around the country. You buy direct so you save a ton of money. You can buy loose diamonds or sets, it’s really up to you. Just to be warned though, I have heard if you do go into the store, the sales people make it hard to leave without you making a purchase, so research before you buy.

Good luck and Congratulations!
