I am looking for a new watch...but I only seem to like really, really expensive ones

I think mine cost £50

My current one was about a ton I suppose about 9 years ago

There's no way I'd wear anything worth that much on a daily basis
christ, even the engagement ring I've decided I'd want, should anyone ever want to buy me one, is only £700.

The little woman's engagement ring was more than that watch...but it is specially insured
However it includes 2 diamonds from her grandmothers ring, and it would be sad to lose them, even though they aren't great diamonds

Yeah, there's no way I'd be comfortable with wearing something like that.
I'd be terrified it'd fall off or I'd lose it or the stones would fall out of their settings. And I don't see the point in jewellery you don't enjoy wearing.

I have nightmares about losing my engagement ring, first thing I do in the morning is check
I still have it on.

blimey
the one i've got my eye on is a tiffany cut and it's about £10,000.

this explains why nobody has bought it for me yet.

yes ok. there are other reasons too.

As long as it isn't from Tiffany's; waste of money

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 11:58, Reply)

They aren't actually that bad, price wise
as they only really get mid-to-high quality diamonds so you'll know you're getting something that's pretty good and reasonable value for money. The volkswagen of the diamond world.

I'm only such a pedant here becuase you love it.
Plus, you set that one up beautifully by saying there are other reasons why no-one had bought it for you. I offered one.

Seriously though, don't buy diamonds from Tiffanys they are massively overpriced
a decent jewller will replicate it for a much lower price
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:07, Reply)

darling
i have no intention of EVER buying my own diamonds.

badger is going to do it for me.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:08, Reply)

yeah, but you have to know what you're doing or trust the jeweller.
Most people don't have those options. They aren't THAT overpriced, either, to be fair. Maybe 20% over the odds.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:08, Reply)

20% at 10k is a lot of money!

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:09, Reply)

Bloody hell that's a massive rock
you could have someone's eye out with that! Mine is here Oh, and it's £750, not £700, but still...

We had ours made, so it is unique
which I rather like.

I proposed with her grandmothers ring on the banks of the Seine opposite the Musse d' Orsay as the Eiffel Tower lit up at Midnight. She had had tyto wait almost 7 years though!
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:11, Reply)

You romantic old gufter :)
In 7 years time I will be 33, and I'd really rather prefer to already be married by then, assuming it's ever going to happen at all.

Proffering someone's grandmother's puckered and withered arsehole is hardly romantic.

Yes, but I daresay my expectations are a little more realistic
given the income of the man I'd like to marry. Although he has been engaged before and spent more on that ring than the one I'd like, even though he was earning a lot less then. *shrugs*
Low expectations are more easily fulfilled. More easily pleased = more often happy.

hmmm
i have applied this logic to my love-life in the past.

it has not worked!!!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:02, Reply)

Haha, well it hasn't always for me either
but I stick by it, and it seems to be working well at the moment.
