I prefer old-cut diamonds and am happy that people who want new ones can Buy Canadian, conflict-free stones.<BR/><BR/>Pseu: Yes you can get some fantastic coloured stones for far less!Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-89058073361652611482008-12-08T11:49:00.000-05:002008-12-08T11:49:00.000-05:00Great ad you wrote, Duchesse.I've often been irked...Great ad you wrote, Duchesse.<BR/>I've often been irked by jewelry ads and so pleased by the Raise your Right hand campaign. That said, I was happy enough to have Pater give me diamond studs last Christmas -- my first diamonds ever as I only wanted a plain gold band when we got married. I'm really happy with the studs (now that's a fun phrase!), but otherwise I tend to echo Pseu's sentiments).materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-8505029283264904292008-12-08T08:51:00.000-05:002008-12-08T08:51:00.000-05:00I like your ad better, LOL!

I have a pair of CZ studs that everyone thinks are real, and I tend to lose earrings, so I'm not in a hurry to shell out for diamonds when there are so many lovely stones that aren't so over-inflated. If I did buy some, it would probably be in the form of estate jewelry.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.com
