Trying on jewelry is fun!

[ladypirate]

So while we were on vacation last week, Kris and I wandered into Bailey Banks and Biddle in the mall (I know--it''s a maul store, but not as bad as most) and did a little bit of nosing around, which was REALLY fun. They didn''t have anything I was too interested in, but I did try on a 2 ct. stone, which probably made Kris very nervous (Me: I could totally rock 2 carats! Kris: *blanches*). It was the first time we''ve really gone together and tried anything on, so it was exciting for me. Hopefully just the first of many excursions to try on sparklies!

Also, a funny anecdote: I have a friend who is studying in the US right now but is from jewelry. Yesterday I asked her what her favorite English word is and she said "jewelry". I was like, "Me too, friend, me too."

Freudian slip? Where is your friend from?

And... you could TOTALLY rock 2 carats.

OMG GERMANY. Studying from GERMANY. Wow. Can you tell what was on my mind? Also, in my defense, Germany and jewelry are very similar words.

 

[Deelight]

hehehehehe Germany, jewelery yup I can see the similarity.

I totally agree on the 2ct thing

after trying on rings from 1ct-7.47ct''s (the larger ones for fun ) that size was just the right amount of gianomus on my finger

(though my finger could comfortably rock 4cts as well ), unfortunately in the specs I wanted too much for our budget though but I still *puffy heart with all my heart* the one I am getting and I think it will be plenty big .

Ladypirate your shopping trip sounds like it was great fun - here''s to many more!

I totally can''t rock anything over 2cts, looks ridiculous on me

Hey LP I just went blingy shopping with TBerube this past weekend! We had a BLAST!!!

I got to see my coveted asscher cut up close and personal (

) and got to try on a setting similar to my dream ring to confirm that it does indeed look simply perfect on my hand.

We're trying to arrange an entire weekend in Boston just going on a jewlery store tour.

So much FUN!!!!

Lady, glad you had a good time trying on rings!! BB&B has a good selection, it''s a great place to get an idea of what you like!

Keeping, I''m glad you and T got to try on a few things as well! Did you go in the city? If you ever want to try on several asschers, Shreve Crump & Low has a large selection.They carry a bunch of Daniel K''s (including the asscher eternity band. Yum.) and some of their own settings. Last time I was there they let me try on a 8 or 10 carat (I can''t remember) antique asscher. I said "How come you didn''t show D this when he was buying my ring??"
