OP here. I bought her pearls for her 21st birthday. She loves the old brands including Cartier and Tiffany for big gifts. She'll fill in with the other brands mentioned here. |
This is the type of information you're supposed to share in your OP, dumbass. |
NP here. You know it’s possible to just keep scrolling right? |
Awww, learn to read and comprehend, sweetie. Imagine: college grad, very fashionable and heading to a NYC Wall Street job. Aunty asks about $600 earrings from Tiffany (and volunteers she has a gift card $$ to throw in). Obviously Aunty thinks Tiffany is a good idea. OP never asked about H&M level brands. |
Gasp, a bit harsh PP. OP, is this gift you are giving her considered a big gift? If so Tiffany pearl studs are nice. There are comparable in quality to mikimoto, and if anything breaks on earring, Tiffany's has better service than mikimoto. |
Thanks. I bought her single pearls recently. Wish I had waited to get the Tiffany ones. So this time I've moved on to trying to get her "timeless" earrings in gold or sterling. Something from Tiffany is still considered a special treat. |
I work on wall street, sugar pie, 20 year olds don't wear Tiffany and Cartier, that's what their mommies wear. You do do, sweet cheeks butter pie honey bunch! |
I wouldn't get her earrings for graduation, then get her a strand of pearls to give with them. They are only 750. |
Pp here sorry: auto correct and my phone hate me. If you got her pearl earing for her 21st Birthday, don't get her more earrings for graduation. Round it out with a string a pearls to go with her pearl earrings. Or get her a bracelet. You are going heavy on the earrings. |
Agreed. I am the one who originally suggested mikimoto. They have some more contemporary bracelets to choose from in your price point. Mikimoto are superior to Tiffany for pearls. |
Why the condescending tone? It's not your message it's your delivery. Every single thread I ever see in DC urban moms, it doesn't take more than a few posts before the condescending and rude tones come through. |
Another example of uncalled for rude condescending tone. I am so put off by this that I am mulling over not coming back to DC urban moms. Again, it's not her message. It's her delivery. Enough with name calling. Do you want to be called dumbass? |
Wall Street has made her ugly too. |
Wow I’m surprised at the harsh replies to these hoop earrings. In college, I wore an almost identical pair in yellow gold that I raided from my mom’s jewelry box during winter break. I still wear them today. She had bought them in the 70s when she worked in the fashion industry so they have been worn for over 50 years now. |
There's been a really nasty streak (let's hope it's one pp) with way out-sized negative & rude responses today, here and on other threads. |
