Diamonds

I think that's pretty much our point, huh Texie?

Look close KC - I'm sendin ya the ole Texas eye loop.......diamonds are never flawless.......they usually have different color....CZ's are clear, colorless and you kinda can see thru the cheap ones. There is actually a company making very good CZ's - so good in fact that they have to engrave on the side of the cut the trade name (can't think of it now) cause they are so close to color, weight, density that a diamond meter will read it as a diamond......scary thought!!

Yep - it's damn scary. You mean one of my future men might try to pawn a CZ off on me and make me think it's a real rock? Naaa. Won't be any future men. If'n this one doesn't work, I'm joinin' the convent.

wordy, as long as you are not "generally" speaking I'd like to think that NOT ALL women are ~hung~ up on bling

damn i should have read the entire thread FIRST

naaaaaaaaaaa - speak for yourself, Hoarsie!!! I, for one, am hung up on the Bling and I'm proud of it! Seriously, I see nothing wrong with putting your money there - there are just as many men that bet on football, buy waaay too much beer, drive great big trucks or waste the family's budget on cute young things in tiny shorts - and none of that will ever increase in value. Call me selfish, but I like my diamonds and my big house! (as long as I don't have to mow the yard):green:

(and I was laughin' at your last post and tried to 'rep' ya, but I have to spread it around first. I'll come back and get ya later!)

Well....OK OK.......not ALL women are hung up on bling. From my experience a nice little black dress, some nice bling and a sense of reality has always been essential. Wouldn't marry a guy just for the bling - but bling never hurt. I do altho think if ya can afford a garage full of tools - somewhere in there I could have a little jewlery box of bling......not all women wear diamonds and such all the time but nice to have when ya want to wear it.....it also passes down well after your gone.........I have many pieces that belonged to my mom and grandma....some bling some costume.....it's all special.....
