This new site cahrges $15 but delivers in 3-5 days and the bracelet I ordered from here was $20 cheaper than the other site and hopefully it'll get here before Friday.

Total cost for Tiffany's bracelet with the blue box, pouch, silver care card and gift bag for $87 shipped. My plan is to take her in sometime and show her the exact same bracelet at the Tiffany's Store that costs $227. Then I get rewarded

my dad owns a jewelry mfg company, if you want him to make something nice they can replicate whatever design or he can design something for you. He does a lot of the jewelry for designers who work with all the celebrities for the award shows (grammys etc..). If you are looking to spend less than $300 I would suggest going to the jewelry district downtown but if you want something more expensive lemme know. PM me if you want my dads contact info.

I had 2 ideas... but I just got lucky so I don't need to use any of them For me it'll be drinking with the boys at some random bar scouting

1) Gondola in Huntington Harbor or Newport Gondola. Get a Gondola and have some Italian guy roll that... sing to you guys while you dine and drink wine.. just make sure she's not sea sick... I personally never tried it though

http://www.gondola.com/Home.asp?Location=NewportBeach

http://www.viator.com/tours/Los-Ange...de/d645-2166_1



2) I like old fashion Swing dance and stuff like that. Cicada in LA is a good place to eat while dressed like the 80s and dance. There's live band and dance floor.. everyone will be in 80s suits and ladies in dresses. Dark environment and good service.. Dinner is about 50-100$ per person though. Been here, the food is great and band is great. If you can dance it'll be a plus plus.. show it off on the floor

It's up to you what you wanna do. Almost all of that stuff is carried in stores so you just don't like the Tiffany's designs. For your budget I really dont' have any other suggestions for an "accesory". My friend got a really cute diamond heart necklace at Kay's Jewlers for 110 OTD. But then again that'll be a little outta your budget considering dinner. Search around the mall...you'll find something

Or

Maybe you can take her out to Ruth's Chris or some other nice place then surprise her with roses on her bed when you go home, have the roses surrounded with hershy's kisses around the roses in the shape of a heart. Then have a card saying you love her in front of the roses with maybe a teddy bear? Idk just throwing out ideas...

^^ omg... if I had a pinky ring like that.. hahaha GODFATHER STATUS

In all respect Sam, if you haven't been in a relationship longer than 2 years with this girl.. I wouldn't even think of buying jewelry. Just simply giving her attention, making her feel like a princess and not gawking for sex (eventhough essentially that's all we want in the day.. LOL no offense Cris..) through out the night... will eventually make her drool, happy to a point where she brags to her friends and essentially end up giving the booty at the end So it'll be a win-win...

BUT...

if this is a serious one, then I would say a perky gift (possibly jewelry or something she's probably hinted to you the whole time she's been with you excluding an engagement ring) + all of the above will give you the same results.. GL

The bands in 18k gold cost I think around $200-400 with regular diamonds you are looking at $600-700 roughly, with yellow or pink diamonds it can be a bit more. Remember these are wholesale prices, my dad manufactures jewelry. He doesn't sell to the public.

He did a huge crazy bracelet that wrapped around the entire arm for this Japanese princess I think it had a few million dollars of diamonds in it.'


A lot of things are involved with pricing, for example her ring size, the size of the diamonds used, whether or not it goes all the way around the band, etc...

+1 all girls want to do is gossip to their freinds anyway and blah blah blah. I actaully went to the actual store and talked to the manager. He told me that most of their sales are the simple necklaces and bracelets with teh "Please return to Tiffany's New York" thing. It's a girl thing, I think it's weird but it's how they opperate lol

I went to Medieval Times a few months ago and there was couples celebrating their anniversary and couples on their honey moon. Who ****ing knows why. We went as a joke.
