my BF called me from Tiffany & Co today

[TopDaugIn2000]

He's in NY on business, called me from Tiffany's.

him: Hey. I'm in Tiffany's. You know what that is?
me: uhh, YEAH! DUH
him: what?
me: JEWELRY, lamps, etc.
him: yeah, I guess it's a girl thing. I thought I'd buy you something. I found a silver necklace with a "Patrick" (Starfish from Spongebob) charm on it. Would you like that?
me: huh? a starfish charm??
him: yeah. it's silver. would you like me to buy it for you?
me: not really. it's not something I'd wear (I'm into really "out there" modern jewelry, and even though I have a saltwater fish tank, I'm not into wearing it around my neck)
him: really? you don't want me to buy it, or you wouldn't like it?"
me: both.
him: seriously. I'll buy it for you. would you like it?
me: no. please don't.
him: if you were here with me I'd let you pick out something and buy it for you.
me: You can't afford what I'd want, you'd be paying for it the rest of your life if you tried to buy it there.
him: yeah, you're probably right. do you want anything?
me: you know what I want (I've been hinting strongly for months), but don't even BEGIN to try buying it from there. Just save that money and put it in on something I would WEAR (like a RING!)
him: ok. I guess you're right.




now, I love jewelry, but I wear one of a kind, artistic, "out there" stuff. He knows this. I was so confused as to why he'd pick out a starfish, even though I do like fish and such. It's NOT something I'd EVER wear, even if it was from T & CO. sheesh!

[Al Gore]

I am surprised they would have a "Sponge Bob" necklace????

[Blue]

Because guys are stupid when it comes to this stuff?

[TopDaugIn2000]

to him, all starfish are patrick

we are addicted to spongebob

sad, but true

[OUstudent4life]

gods...my wife is addicted to that place. I think I've helped Elsa Peretti buy a couple of things. Tiny, tiny things, but still.

Tho, in reality, I like getting her the stuff. And it's always easy to know what BIG gifts she wants...

Expensive girlfriends AND I like to splurge/spoil, but nothing over 250.00 from that place. An engagement ring from Tiffany is one of the most foolhardy decisions a man can make.

I wonder if they have any Scooby Doo stuff...

I agree. I'd much rather have a bigger diamond from somewhere else. If it's square, large, and sparkles, I'd be happy.

He says his mom's cousin has a jewelry store back at home in Casablanca and offered to get anything he wanted for cost. Now he just needs to GET IT!

[TopDaugIn2000]

I love spongebob. We literally watch it all weekend. we have 4 nick channels and he's almost ALWAYS on one of them.

'course, she was happy with a smaller diamond, as long as it was a Lucida.

I bought my wife something from Tiffany's in NY years ago, on my first trip to the City. Pretty much anything from that place is pretty cool. The little blue box is a guy's guarantee for some action on Christmas night.

[LilSooner]

I love tiffany's my only time to New York a couple of years ago that was the first place I went. It really hasn't changed much from what you see in Breakfast at Tiffany's. I have a couple of things from there but my favorite is the cross that my mom gave me on my 18th birthday. I wear it every day.

[picasso]

I got a diamond studded concho belt from there. Only wear it on special occasions.

[C&CDean]

[nmsoonergirl]

So this begs the question for the females. What would you rather have on your engagement rings, a large/giant diamond of low to medium quality or a smaller diamond of high to very high quality?

Actually, I'm a no diamond girl. I watched a "60 Minutes" story on the diamond industry when I was in high school, and it scarred me. I've refused to own a diamond since then. When I told Mr. NMS I didn't want a diamond, he actually tried to pressure me into one (I think he was worried that his family woudl think he was unmanly or something if he didn't buy a big rock:rolleyes: ). I have a nice platinum band, which I can actually wear to work--I never would have worn a big diamond to work.

And, TD2K--my husband just called from Target to ask what brand of toilet paper I wanted. Enjoy the Tiffany's calls while you can....:D

[TopDaugIn2000]

So this begs the question for the females. What would you rather have on your engagement rings, a large/giant diamond of low to medium quality or a smaller diamond of high to very high quality?

for me, a medium to medium-high quality larger diamond. I don't know many people that carry a loupe around with them. I go for FLASH.

[Harry Beanbag]

for me, a medium to medium-high quality larger diamond. I don't know many people that carry a loupe around with them. I go for FLASH.


That's the thing, a high quality diamond flashes way more than a crappy one does.

[1stTimeCaller]

some ho is gonna get a ring that costs what I want to spend and she's gonna like it.

[Harry Beanbag]

some ho is gonna get a ring that costs what I want to spend and she's gonna like it.


That's why I posed the question. Big poor quality or smaller high quality would be roughly the same price.

[TopDaugIn2000]

That's the thing, a high quality diamond flashes way more than a crappy one does.

yeah, but a medium to medium-high would flash enough for me.

[Harry Beanbag]

yeah, but a medium to medium-high would flash enough for me.


That's fine, but a large medium to medium-high would not be in the same price range as the smaller high to very-high. That was my only point, would you guys prefer quality or size (in regards to diamonds;))?

When I went out looking for my wife's ring, I decided to go with the highest quality I could afford. It ended up being only 1 carat, but it is absolutely stunning and other women she meets seem to be mesmerized by it. I could have spent the same money and gotten a 3 carat or so, but all of those just looked like glass compared to the one I settled on.

Once I get into the store I may change my mind, I've never been shopping for an engagement ring. BUT, what I have in mind is 1 to 1.5 princess cut solitare in a very modern, clean platinum setting, as high in quality (sparkly) as he can afford/is willing to pay for.

This whole engagement ring thing is totally new to him, in Morocco the wives get a gold belt. :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Jimminy Crimson]

My wife loves her Lucida, I love my $35 sterling silver ring from James Avery.
http://www.tiffany.com/images/photo/lucida_shopping.jpg

[OUAndy1807]

I would push for quality rather than size. When my wife gets with her friends, they all have bigger rings (hers is something like .85c), but even the nice diamonds look yellow compared to hers. It's ridiculous the difference when you see them side by side.

1 to 1.5 isn't really that huge or anything, but I think something in that range is the perfect size. Anything bigger and it'll start looking like this...

so much for waiting 'til the 3rd date.....

[Skysooner]

I wish TD. She made me wait a year. Something about being a Catholic virgin. To think I wasn't going to go out with her a second time after a strange first date. The second date was the best I had ever had. We were unofficially engaged about 2 months in and I gave her a ring within 5 months prior to me moving to New Orleans. We were married 7 months after that.

[C&CDean]

No, I don't believe in soul mates, but it is as good as. I got very, very lucky when I met her.

Does she cook - always? Does she clean - always? Does she come to poppa - always? Does she demand/want/yearn for a big-assed diamond? If your answers aren't yes, yes, yes, and hell no, then she ain't worth keeping around.

If she doesn't run you outta the kitchen back to your recliner when you try and help out then throw her back.

[Skysooner]

The answers are yes, yes, yes and no.

On the second, most of the time unless she is flustered which isn't often.

[TopDaugIn2000]

he always wants to cook for me, but it's a disaster EVERY time. I'd rather him just let me do the cooking and for him to pitch in and help clean up occasionally. 'bout got him trained to do that too.

and he wants to get married, has for months. He just doesn't understand the whole engagement process. It's almost like he thinks I'm lying about him buying me a ring, we are engaged for a few months, and THEN get married.

I guess when you are used to arranged marriages and buying her a gold belt, it would seem a bit strange.

[1stTimeCaller]

I wanna know more about this gold belt. what do you wear it with?

Is it an old US Calvary style belt like Army Generals wear because those are sweet.

A long day at the office? You don't even work. And if by "help me do the dishes" you mean put his dirty plate up by the sink then I'm all over it. I'll fix the dishwasher when it breaks, but don't expect me to learn how to run the damn thing. Same goes with those fancy digital ovens and stoves. I'll buy the best one out there, but I ain't gonna learn how to push all those damned buttons. Except, of course, on the microwave. Cause I gotta heat up all the prepared food you leave in the freezer when you have to leave town for something.

td2k,

So you get a big ol' ugly expensive ring. What good is it? You look at it and do the my preciousssssss dealio? Meh. How about he spend the same money on a great vacation. A ring like you're wanting runs in the thousands of $$. You can take a hell of a trip, or buy something very useful for that kinda jack. Be reasonable here.

Dude, you're missing the point. I could buy a big *** ugly ring, but I choose not to. No point. If she leaves your ***, you're out. If she stays, you're out. Big waste. And anything over about $100 on a shirt is excessive.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

I hate to bring this up again, but the way you talk about and demean your boyfriend to a bunch of strangers, it sounds like you should be buying him the ring.

the same one that's shacked up with td2k apparently.

He wasn't exactly the pick of the litter by the sound of it.

hmm... seems to me getting engaged should be more about your relationship and where you are in life rather than how long you've been together. Some people are ready to get married after a month, some people are ready after 10 years.

and why the **** to people think you have to have an engagement ring to be engaged. It's like that's the defining point of the relationship--would it be any less significant if he proposed and didn't get you a ring?
What if he gave you a big sparkly diamond for the hell of it? would you think you were engaged?

If you know he wants to get married and you know you want to get married and you know you're going to get married, what's the purpose of the ring? really, what's the purpose of the formality of asking? with the ring on your finger you'll be doing the exact same thing you are now--waiting to get married--only you'll have a ring on your finger.

What you're saying is you aren't secure enough with that relationship and the certainty of its future until you have a guy committed enough to shell out for a big*** diamond to remind him of his promise and keep him in check.


at least IMO...

Fine with me, I hate the diamond industry. I've been lobbying for the 2 month salary "engagement cheeseburger" giftcard. It's something that the girl has to buy the boy.

Of course, I may not be in full agreement with this particular post PG, I didn't actually read the whole thing. It was really long.

If only she had met my wife before we got married. :D

he probably doesn't have to worry about that anyway, considering the likelihood that we'll both find jobs on the same side of the country/globe some day.
