Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

May 18, 2007 By Frugal Babe

Today a lady came into the library wearing a huge diamond on her finger.   The engagement/wedding band set took up all the room from her palm to her first knuckle – I am not kidding.   The wedding band was covered with diamonds, and the rock on the engagement ring was probably 4 or 5 cts.   She was a very pleasant lady, and obviously a diamond connoisseur.   She noticed my new ring and said how beautiful it was.   She said that she could tell that it was a very high quality stone from the way it was shining.   I just smiled and thanked her.   $231 well spent.

    Ha! I don’t know how people lug around big jewels like that. They could take someone’s eye out if a fight broke out, as well.
