fuck yeah, keep the rock and give me a plane ticket dammit. that'll earn *way* more than some funky kiss with kay from me haha
i love wearing stuff that i've gotten or others have gotten me from other places, absolutely it's the memories they give you, if not of where you got it, then who gave it to you.
So I'm watching the Lions/Cowboys game and during a commercial break I had the misfortune of viewing a Kay Jewelry commercial, which claimed "every kiss begins with kay."
I gotta say I certainly hope this isn't true.
In fact, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say MOST kisses DON'T begin with Kay.
Discuss.
while I usually HATE when someone makes a thread and states "discuss" at the end of the post like they're the teacher or something, I have to say that my girlfriend and I have joked about this very commercial for months now. the first time we saw it together I said "wait, we just kissed like 20 minutes ago and it had nothing to do with Kay." it's become a running joke since then.
my girlfriend doesn't wear jewelry. in fact, i've never seen her in a pair of earrings. which is probly good becos my last gf was the only one i ever bought jewelry for and she dumped me and kept it. i cant look at a claddagh ring without wanting to puke. she still wears it too... to symbolize her love and devotion to her new bf by wearing a ring given to her as a symbol of the love of her old one. fucking bitch.

my wedding ring had a 'chip' of a real diamond that cost about $300 at the time (27 years ago.) my husband's gold band cost maybe $100. about 10 years into our marriage, that precious little chip fell out of my ring never to be found. for about 15 years, i wore a cubic zirconia ring that cost about $150. on our 25th wedding anniversary 2 years ago, we bought each other new rings, total cost a little over $1,500 (total for both...plain silver bands, mine with a row of teeny tiny little inset diamonds.) we felt being married 25 years was worth celebrating with new rings but in no way were we going to spend 3 months worth of our salaries. who can?
trust me. being married for a long time can never be credited to the size of the diamond.
"Can I ask you a question?" (.....you just did.....)
I admit, I love diamonds, but I really would rather spend my (our) money on other things. I have diamonds in my wedding band and my engagement ring. My engagement ring is a little over a carat total (its a three stone ring). I do however have a cubic ring set in real white gold that is "2 carats" its beautiful, big shiny, and a fraction of the price it would have been if it is real. Sometimes when I want to make believe I just wear the big ol' honkin rock.
If my husband came home with that hideous and unnecessary jewelry, I'd kick his ass. I would really hope that he would consult me before spending that much of our money.

The Jared commercials are the ones that really get me.
I dig jewelry, and I love getting it as a gift, but the onslaught of jewelry commercials around this time of year and valentine's day pisses me off.
btw... I've gotten appliances as gifts, and really loved them. But, I think most girls would rather get a piece of jewelry than a blender because it's nice to get something that's personal.
Obviously they change the spelling and try to tie it in to their jewelry store, but they're not really implying that every kiss starts by overpaying for jewelry.

LMAO!! Thanks for the clarification...

im glad im not the only one who thinks so. to be fair, she offered to return it at first and i said no hoping it would remind her of me and make her uncomfortable. i think she kept it to remember me by. but she still wears it and i doubt she even remembers where it came from.

It may not always be a bad thing. For my 18th birthday my boyfriend at the time got me a tiffanys bracelet with my name engraved in it. When we broke up after a year and 1/2 of being together I still wore the bracelet every day. It did remind me of him, and it reminded me of the good times, and the friend that I took away with me out of all of it. I know thats not exactly the case between you and the ex, Conor, but maybe its good for her to remember you, and maybe its hard to let it go completely. I still wear the bracelet to this day. It reminds me of a happy time in my life, and I figure I have a past, and just because we aren't together and he doesn't mean the same thing to me, doesn't mean I have to forget about it.
I'm not a fan of jewelery much, HOWEVER when my hubby proposed and after I got over the shock and excitement and was able to look at my engagement ring.....I WAS SOOOOO HAPPY!
For someone who doesn't put much stock in diamonds, I love my rings! They don't just sparkle and gleam, they mean so much more than that to me!
But, for the record, I hate those commercials too.

fuck that, we don't speak and she doesnt want to ever see me again. the ring is a claddagh ring, it's a sign of commitment. she wears it to show the world her love the other dude. if i ever see her, im asking for it back and throwing it away while she watches.
I think Cat Power is singing on one of those Diamond Commercials....where the couple is in bed, and he puts a necklace on her, and pretends to go back to sleep....I'm not certain...but it sure sounds like her.

okay I'll give you that. Just playing the devils advocate here. But I understand where you're coming from.

I find these commercials repulsive.
Not that a woman wouldn't like something that sparkles, not that someone in love doesn't like to give gifts, it's just that it makes it seem like the poor guy has to buy his wife or girlfriend's affection and that seems gross to me.

that bothers me too. love can't be measured in money or anything materialistic.

I never really know if I hate the Kay/Jared commercials or the Lexus christmas commercials more.
Actually I think that Jared one where the family is in the restaurant and they're all saying "he went to jared" and then at the end the girl looks all mushily into his eyes and says "he went to jared" really actually makes me want to vomit. I mean I seriously think that I would prefer to be vomiting than watching that commercial.

the lexus ones are hella stupid. i'd want a big bow like they got to put on a fancy pen or something though....just cuz.

Do it, dude. Put that thing in a coffee bean grinder right in front of her.
I absolutely hate the jared ones too...and the Lexus commercials with the bows on the cars. Fuck them.
Buying someone a car for Christmas.. it makes me think of the people who can hardly afford food and toys for their kids...those commercials must be a kick in a teeth.

I'd much prefer someone went out of their way to find a book I really wanted to read, or something like that.
A friend of mine is a really talented artist and she drew some awesome pictures and had them framed as gifts.
That's the kind of present that I'd like.
