My wife loves jewelry. I know Ive spent my far share on diamonds. Look at it this way, its an investment. Diamonds dont decrease in value. The key is to find the most amount of jewelry for the least about of money. Then have it appraised. For example, my wifes engagement/wedding ring appraises for almost 4 times more then I paid for it. My platinum wedding band appraises for almost 3 times as much. You all are saying whoopie, right? This is where insurance comes in. If my wife were to lose her engagement/wedding band we would get almost 4 times the amount of money back. Or if we ever hit hard times and need the cash, we could always sell it.
My wife was worth every penny I paid for that ring. Im not saying that everything I buy her has to be diamonds, Ive bought her CZ's that she likes just as much. It shouldnt be about price, but why it was bought. If she doesnt like the gift, then the problem is probably deeper then the size of the diamond.
