[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I just tried to resell my engagement ring (vintage Edwardian which I got because it was pretty, "craftsmanship", sustainable, and didn't care about brands) and it was worth almost nothing. After some internet sleuthing I'm now in the name-brand camp because of resale value in the event I need to resell.

I think from people I know, a pricey and basic-but-not-too-basic IYKYK brand would be Temple St Clair, Cartier, Chopard, Bulgari. [/quote]

Isn't that the point though? People who are really IYKYK don't care what the resale value of their jewelry is because they will never care. [/quote]

the only reason to ask for tips on buying jewelry that will signal to people that you have a certain amount of money, is because you are seeking to project a very specific image to those people. The kind of person who wants people to think they have money doesn't care if the jewelry is actually cool or interesting or unique. It's like people who buy a white range rover or lexus SUV. It's for one reason and one reason only and serves the same purpose as wearing a t shirt that says 'hi! I want you to think i have money'.[/quote]

Yes! We have 3 flash" autos and 5 "beater" ones that we drive personally. The flash ones DH or our driver drives. The regular ones (one is a jeep gladiator mojave, with customizations my DH did) I and DH and our older children drive. One kid wanted a Lexus..whatever. I prefer the Jeep! [/quote]

Are you on the spectrum? [/quote]

I think so, but the spectrum isn’t neurotypical to wildly atypical here; it’s normal and decent person to ahole.[/quote]
