Anything out there like Wellendorff rings at non-brain damage money?

[dank69]

Since when are you not brain damaged?

hows the foreclosure going? Were you able to sell your M3 that was supposedly costing you 40K a year somehow?

I think thats what he's referring to.

My foreclosure was caused by no fault of mine, I made every payment.

I will be selling the M3 after 4/4 when I am able to begin driving the 2012 Mazda 3s GT I also own.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

13k for a band? That's over twice what I paid for my truck. You balla brah.

 

[arrfep]

That sounds like something your current ex-wife to be will be saying to one of her girlfriends about you in a couple years.

Take a bow, good sir.

$15k in liquid assets
Complains about $13k costing too much.

I've got way more than $15k in liquid assets and there's no way in hell I'd pay $13 grand for a ring!

enameled <> enameled and moving.

Also at a six figures and I am not a 1%'r, two rings would be about my annual income at the level in that line up I'd want.

even the entry level rings at $13k a piece would approach 25% of my income.

OP, I don't think you're going to be able to get the best of all worlds. Even if you find a perfect imitation, I get the feeling from your earlier posts that you'll always be thinking about the fact that you have knockoffs.

Rather than trying to get something that looks like something outside your price range, why not get the real thing that's in your range?

If you want interesting colors and textures, look into mokume-gane, as another poster mentioned. It can be done with only precious metals, and creates some really wonderful and unique-looking rings.

The point was that he keep bragging about making all this money in different threads, then asks for a cheaper knock-off of an expensive piece of jewelry.

It's the equivalent of showing a picture of a Rolex watch and then saying "anybody know where I can get one of these on the cheap?" Expensive jewelry is to show off to other people that you can drop a bunch of cash on something that has no function but to show other people that you have money. Getting a cheap knock-off defeats the purpose.

Ahh, yeah get your point.

TBH I think I'm sort of immune to some of alkies posting idiosyncrasies now, my brain sort of filters them out a lot of the time.

 

[BoberFett]

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.

Not to mention, he had to sell the M3 because he's poor.

 

[randomrogue]

Alky is poor. He talks big game but he's got nothing.

You're poor. A broke ass loser.

Entertaining though. :biggrin:

A 25K pink diamond encrusted ring will definitely give the wrong vibes though.

[AMCRambler]

I could go for nice piece of beef Wellendorff. Delicious!

Are you talking about coming in your mom?

 

[xaeniac]

Why the insults ?? What's next; if you do not make 1 million annually you are a loser.

not really but living in Louisiana would get one closer.

This is going to be awesome.

/called it.

Alkemyst's appetite is much bigger than his wallet. This thread follows the same structure as many others:

1) Create a thread asking for advice on something well out of the spending ability of virtually everybody on AT (including Alkemyst), thus ensuring that virtually nobody has actual advice on topic
2) Receives insults/sarcastic comments
3) Lashes out at people, in short order referring to them as jelly and insulting their moms

It's childish behavior for a guy outside of his teen years and alk is in his 40's. I think this is symbiotic, though. Alkemyst is a massive attention whore and we enjoy his threads to make ourselves feel better. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.
