I have a wedding ring with a ton of little baquettes in it. One fell out.
Tonight I took it back to have it repaired. HOLY SNOT!

Riddle me why it cost $120 for a diamond the size of a piece of dust? If that one teeny one is $120 what if one of the big uns fell out? This after they tried to get us to trade it in on a vulgar update of what I already have. Yea, After all these years I am kind of attached to it, but thanks.

Holy CRAP! If I paid $120 for every baquette in there it would cost more than the ring was brand new in 1994.

Where did you take it?

The diamond probably didn't cost as much as the labor charge.

Brian bought it at whitehall a dozen years ago. We took it back there......Because all my other stuff is under warranty there and I didn't wanna lose more diamonds. Plus I wanted to scope out an emerald. Plus Now all my Jewelry looks like I just bought it- I love that supersonic cleaner they have there.

I think the irony is they send them to John Johns for repair. It will be back on my finger Thursday.

But Jeezus.....Going by that if I lost every baquette in there that would be $2,600. I would hate to think if I lost one of the Marquis diamonds in it. The ring wasn't even 2,600 brand new!!

I learned: Nowadays Wedding Rings are frigging Vulgar looking. My ring has held its value- so I coulda done an almost even trade, but EWW- a knuckle big, and BRIGHT and Huge. I don't want a friggin 2 or 3 karat ring!Glad I got married a dozen years ago.

WoW!
I got my ring back this morning. Now I feel complete again.
Holy Holy Snot. It looks like it did in September 94.....Shiny and new and scratchless. And did I mention SHINYYYYYYYY?
Trade it in on a bigger one my butt!
