Disappointment

So Saturday we went to Roger's to this wonderful jewlery show. We were expecting it to be really cool and have lots of expensive J Lo type jewlery...you know big fat 6 karat pink diamonds...so not! We walked in and it was like a car lot on a Saturday...there were jewelry guys everywhere! So many that at one point, two of them were arguing over a customer. Fortunately for us we had an appointment with the guy we had talked to before. Anyway he started showing us all the different rings and really there wasn't anything all that exciting. I mean it didn't really seem like everything he had hyped it up to be. Sure there were nice rings, but I thought Roger's had nice rings. There wasn't anything new that jumped out at me. I found one ring that was similar to the first one that I liked but Dave didn't like that one because it wasn't sparkly enough. He said that it wasn't as flashy as the first one that I picked out and he thought it looked dirty. Hell it would have saved him half of what the other one I like is!!

So we left there still liking the original one that I had said before. Today we were talking and I was talking to my friend Christine. She is like jewelry goddess and has all of the nicest diamonds you can imagine. She was saying that we don't have to buy our stone from Roger's. (The setting is there, and then we buy the diamond seperately so that we can have the size/color that we want). So I was like yeah...we were thinking that the diamond at Roger's was a little over priced because it is a SI2 ( I guess that means that there are inclusions in it that can be seen at times). Christine said that for the price they were asking it seemed really high. So we thought we would go back to the very first jewelry store we looked at because they used to be Rogers and the lady there used to work for Rogers. She was really helpful and took her time with us explaining all the different colors, inclusions and sizes of diamonds. After I talked to Christine, Dave and I were talking and we decided that we might take out some of the diamonds from my mom's rings and put them in there. My sister got her wedding ring, but it would be nice if I had a diamond in my engagement ring that was from something of my moms. I thought it was really cute that he thought about that when we were talking about getting diamonds from somewhere else. Having a diamond from my mom's ring would make that ring that much more special.

Ugh so that's the ring update for now...
