On Thursday I had the opportunity to go with a friend to Wixon's "Girls Night." This is apparently an annual event. They invite all their female clients and their friends to come to the store for cheese and wine and cookies. They also offer free "gifts" and the opportunity to try on anything you want. Well, I tried on an awesome necklace. The site doesnt have a picture of it, so I cant put it up, but it is basically a "chain" made up of 1/2 carat diamonds that are 2 separate halves. There is a 3 carat emerald that connects the 2 halves of diamond chains, with some diamond chain extending lower than the emerald. Great description, I know. Anyway, it was fabulous! and a mere $60,000 (yes, that many zeros!) I also tried on an emerald and diamond ring. The emerald was HUGE! Pretty rare for an emerald to be that large and that flawless and that green, and be natural. The emerald had to be at least an inch and square. And the setting was all diamonds, not chips, but cut diamonds. Around the emerald, down the setting, around the setting, down the band, on the sides of the band....all diamonds. Did i mention not chips. Yeah, I had a ring on my hand that had a price tag of $115,000. yup. I could never wear a ring like that. but I did have it on! Its kind of neat to have that kind of bling on your person, even if just for a moment. I also got to try on several other earrings, pendants and bracelets, all much more reasonable at $5-6,000. I think one pair of earrings was only $1000. Seems like pocket change after the ring.
My recommendation, if you get the chance, try on the spendy stuff!
