thinking about buying my gf a nice diamond necklace
    #7750320 - 12/12/07 05:29 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

yeah, they are always advertising those nice diamond necklaces for $99 around the holidays. and i think that she would absolutely love it. im just worried that it might be a little over the top as we have only been together for 4 months....

any ideas? comments, input?

I dunno. If she would love it, $99 isn't all that much when you think about it. I'd do it if i were you, but my girlfriend hates diamonds because they lack pigmentation.

I personally don't like the whole diamond necklace thing, unless it is unique, but if she likes it, and its $99, i dont see why not. If you really like her, I'd go for it.

But then again, diamonds after 4 months might seem a bit odd. I'd go with something more practical actually... I see why you're iffy about doing this now.

just give her a pearl necklace. :rofl:


but really:
i'd advise against it. its over the top. if she's with you for a lot longer then i'd get it for her. maybe a 1 year anniversary?

i just know from experience that the price of the gift doesnt mean shit when things stop working later, just more money lost.

i'm not saying things wont go well, but be prepared.. if you and her end it, will you be okay with having spent that money?would it of been worth it?

seeing someone happy really is a lovely thing, but you gotta look out for yourself too. like drewwyann said, i would start a little low too.. $99 might even be stretching it. but as a guy i usually spent more money on the holidays and birthdays for my girl than she did for me. and i'm down lots of dough now and i wish i wasn't.

she always went with a lot of simple things and i think i enjoyed them a lot more than 1 expensive thing.

just throwing out ideas. good luck in your decision my dude.

yeah, i mean..... im supposed to be getting a decent financial windfall before christmas so $99 wouldnt be all that much...

truth be told, i dont know what else i would get her aside from a few books she would want, but i kind of want to blow her away :smile:

well if you don't think she'd be a little nutso about it, i'd say go for it. if she'd love it, do it.

but make sure she knows you got it cause you dig her, not cause you're mr. moneybags :smirk:

If you have the disposable income to easily afford it, it would make a nice gift.

The obvious question is whether or not she wears jewelry. If she does, take a look at what she currently has.

Those $99 necklaces will be conservative (not flashy) so if she's into loud or larger jewelry don't buy it. You have little to lose, it's only $99.

Last time I went jewelry shopping I was looking for a diamond necklace around or less than $100, and the store didn't even have any under $250. The colored necklaces are a lot cheaper: amethysts, topazes, and such. If you're not totally set on a diamond necklace, I would look into a stone known as a "mystic topaz". Pretty unique.

And any diamond in a $100 necklace would be pretty goddamn small. I guess it just depends on your girlfriend's knowledge of jewelry.

I really like shopping for jewlery for women, it's kind of fun.

But I wouldn't do it again unless it was a long-term relationship.

Jewlery speaks a little too loudly to a woman after only a four month relationship, especially diamonds.

I'd go with a hemp braclet and a home-made card.

diamonds after 4 months is WAAAAAYYYYY too soon.

someone suggestd 1 year anniversary - thats even too soon. but its better than 4 months.

ALSO: those $99. diamond necklaces are super tiny. (look at her other jewelry choices - it may not be something shes into)

Also, find out if she supports the diamond industry. Some people dont want to support that industry and their barbaric practices.

On the plus side - good for you for having a gf you want to buy presents for. Thanks cool. If it were me, I think a card and a box of Godiva chocolates would be more appropriate than a diamond necklace.

Dont start what I refer to as the "Liberace effect" and have to top your self year after year. If you start out with diamonds, whats next?

OoD

Funny that you should say this on a drug website :grin:
These rocks would retain value as jewelry, instead of the rocks that are smoked.



Hmm.. I must say right off the bat that I don't believe in $99 diamond necklaces. Diamond gifts should be few and far between, but also more expensive. You really don't get much diamond for $99, even if you would spend it all on the stone. If you'd like to adorn your lady with jewelry, then do so with decadence on a day of significance for the family, such as a wedding or anniversary or to celebrate substantial gain. She doesn't ever want to see another woman with the same necklace, or a depiction of it in a magazine.

On top of that:

I think you're going too fast. 4 months is a very short time, not just to give diamonds but also to have gotten to know the style she would like. I'd advise to go for something more likely to please and less subject to differences in taste, to avoid disappointment.

Also, remember that giving diamonds to your love gives her the unambiguous signal: "I will provide for you materially" and thats a message thats better to send when approaching marriage than when 4 months into a relationship.

I think it's a gift that just costs money and doesn't really have anything thoughtful or personal about it.

If you have a specific reason, or you really think it's appropriate, then get it for her. As it is, it just seems like an overly expensive generic present.

I'd say get her something that's personally relevent to her, but obviously do what you want.

First off Homemade pearl necklace > diamond necklace any day!

Second put me in the way to soon boat too. I'm with oracle you don't want to have to keep besting yourself. Plus a $100 diamond can't be very good I'd spend $100 on something else.

Although on the other hand with diamonds she'll pretty much have to...
