I completely agree. $25k+ for something the size of a nickel? I'd much rather use that money to take nice vacations for the next 5-10 years. [/quote]

But why not spend that much if you can still take nice vacations?[/quote]

It still just seems like a ridiculous waste. Seriously, 25k+ for something the size of a nickel? That is absurdly, gratuitously wasteful. [/quote]

You're not a jewelry person, we get it. You think the fuel that gets you to your vacation destination isn't "absurdly, gratuitously wasteful"?

Once again, I am blown away by the number of allegedly educated, intelligent adults on this board who haven't grasped that different people have goals and ideals.

To the people who have the bands from Walmart, for example, how have they held up? I have one or two costume pieces from similar places and they look like costume pieces a few weeks into wearing them.

My engagement ring was $1100, and my band was $70 (this was eleven years ago). Ah, the joys of small town prices! I love how diamonds look, but even the lab created ones are out of our budget for now. [/quote]

I agree.  I'm a super-thrifty person:  I shop at Value Village, mend clothing when it is needed, use Groupons all the time.  I am very cost-conscious.

That said, I LOVE jewelry and am willing to spend something for jewelry I enjoy and will wear every day.  To me, spending $$$ on something you will enjoy each and every day for decades makes perfect sense.[/quote]
