That is so SWEET! I guess I feel guilty b/c I'm spending it on myself But it's under $200 for 3 pair that I'd LOVE forever

I'm goofy

Yes, it is easier for me to spend the money on her or my kids. Her ultimate gift would be a rolex. This may be a possibility for Christmas 2006.

If you feel that strongly about them, it's totally worth it.

Me - I never spend money on earrings, and rarely do I spend much on jewelry for myself. I'm pretty simple when it comes to jewelry. But a few years ago I fell in love with a bracelet and pendent that were black onyx and silver and paid much more than I usually would spend on that sorta thing. It was indeed worth it. I'm still happy with them.

I'm simple about jewelry too, that's why it feels WRONG to spend $60 on a pair of friggin' hoops But I lurv dem

CalhounSq said:

But they're quality earrings you will likely have for the rest of your life. When you start buying nice jewelry, you can almost think of it as an investment. I remember how good I felt finally buying something nice for myself that I would have forever. It's a good feeling. And I think something every woman should do for themselves at some point.

hell...I wear .99 earrings from the beauty supply store.....


i'm not big on expensive earrings.....they'd get lost and I'd be very pissed.

You are SOOOOO convincing me!!!

CalhounSq said:

I paid $55 for a thumb ring and over 200 for the matching bracelet.


I rarely buy earrings for myself. I think i've gotten everypair i ever owned as a gift...

But that was when i had no kind of expenses. Thrill buying days are over.

Christmasedit.

I HEAR YOU! If I lost these I'd stomp my own toe








I want them

... for a pair of EARRINGS (for yourself or as a gift)??



I've been looking for a certain pair for about 2 years now (saw them on someone, fell in LOVE w/ them!!) & now I've found them But they cost WAY more than I'm used to paying for earrings



So I'm torn. Being a Berkeley street merchant type of girl I just can't see paying $60 a pair for something that's just silver/gold filled

But the shape man, the SHAPE...





Is it worth it if I'm totally in love? (I want 3 pair!! 2 of the layered hoop, one of the double hoop...) or am I just the cheapest bitch on the Org?



I could probably get a dude in Berkeley to make them for like $20 But it's so much easier to just click "order"

I want these earrings. In fact I think I will order them today.
