Yeah the wife was looking at these when we were in Vienna. They are very nice indeed, but she never decided on one and just recently finally picked a ring she loved, but it's a more of a vintage style sapphire thing.

Sadly, after middle school plastic rings don't really work.

Sadly, in "adulthood", some peoples lack of good taste and sense of value, don't really work. You appear, at least to me, to be an exemplary example of this.

Even if I could afford such a ring, I doubt I'd spend $50k on one.


Which is fair enough, its just your "lol @ the poor." comment seems fairly ironic in the context of you complaining about something being too expensive.

Flawless VS :awe:


There's no such thing as flawless VS. The VS designation itself means there are very small inclusions, so not flawless. Don't know of any grading system that designates flawless as VS.

Maybe you meant colorless VS. That could happen. But, on diamond grading scales, FL, or flawless, is well above IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, etc., etc.

And color grading goes from D-Z, D=colorless, Z=yellow.

well, I don't think I really qualify as poor in the six figure income range. Sadly these rings are designed with those making another trailing zero in that figure.

First, rather unique rings, just too gaudy for our tastes and the price for enameled rings is just ridiculous. But, to each his own.


nice personal attack so I hope your mother doesn't have that same problem from me.


On the other hand, I've seen you spew this classless, tasteless drivel more than a few times as a witty comeback, but unfortunately fails on so many levels, it's not even remotely humerous.

Tell you what, though. Since you seem to have this fascination with getting with everyone's mom, I'll give you my mother's address and you can go get yourself some. Of course, she's 81, but I doubt that'll deter you at all.

I dont think you can call that guy poor just because he called those rings gaudy either though (and the brightly coloured Wellendorff rings are gaudy).
