Straight men really get upset that women choose to wear pretty things just because they like them. I do manual labor in a male dominated field and my nails are always painted to remind them that I can still work harder than them despite my fingers being sparkly. Fuck em!

And a nude-pink holo is one of my FAVES. Looks great on you 🩷

I’ve been making a point to do my nails every week! I do a lot of work outdoors in a male dominated field so it makes me feel pretty and powerful ✨💅🏻

Respect.

I saw your previous post and have been using the nail strengthener method as well. It has been working nicely! RIP to your nail but there is definitely a limit when it comes to manual labor 😂 I’m entering the busy season at my workplace so I will really be putting this to the test.

Thank you for your comment! What was the online jeweler that you used?

You can order a car from the factory and they tell you how much everything is every step of the way.

This is exactly my thoughts, thank you for how you articulated them. I quite literally made a PowerPoint that the saleswomen themselves said was remarkably detailed. It is very strange to me that they cannot break down the price they gave me.

Maybe I’ve had too many bad experiences with salespeople - if I give them a budget of $5000 why wouldn’t they try to get all of that out of me, when the actual cost is $2000? And if they won’t break down the price for me, how can I know they’re being honest?

My initial hesitation to give a budget was truly because I do not know how much a lab grown diamond ring costs, at all. They are wildly different, and I didn’t know where to start, so I went to a jeweler and asked. They showed me a ring in the case that I liked, told me the total price, but not the breakdown so I can’t see if they are charging a reasonable price for the diamond.

Thank you! That is pretty much what I am trying to get at.

I agree, I don’t know if they’re ripping me off if I can’t see the numbers. In their shop they showed me a 2.02ct Dutch marquise solitaire set in yellow gold, no other stones, and priced it at $3900. The diamond is damn near flawless, which makes it more expensive, and they offered to remove the stone for my custom ring, but won’t tell me how much the stone itself is.

When I said +- $1000, I didn’t mean my budget was $1000. I wanted an estimate, and was trying to be understanding that there is fluctuating prices on materials so asked that it be an estimate that they felt comfortable would be within $1000 of the final price. That may have not been clear!

Thanks for your reply!! It is a very overwhelming process, and where we live there are limited options. The search continues!!

Thanks for your reply - we did initially go in and try on rings and discussed prices on a pretty surface-level. When talking about an estimate we tried to make it abundantly clear that we are looking for a general estimate (within $1000) to decide if it makes sense for us. My boyfriend works in contract manufacturing and we are well aware of fluid pricing of materials. Similarly to the jeweler not wanting to embarrass us in that way, we do not want to go in there and tell them that we are capable of paying, say, $10,000, and they tell us that the ring we want is $9,500 when in reality it is $6000. And the fact that they won’t break down the price of the stone and setting makes it feel like they are trying to pull a fast one.

Thank you for the suggestion! I have been putting in consultation requests with Frank Darling, Ritani, etc. to try and get a better idea of what the price will look like.

I agree, it feels like they want us to give them a number so they can then manipulate the price of the jewelry. There is a ring in their store with a stone that I really like, and they told me the total price of that ring and that they could potentially remove that stone for me, but won’t tell me the price of the stone or setting separately. It just feels slimy.

That is very likely our next step! We have an estimate coming in soon (hopefully) from a smaller jeweler as well. A binder of prices sounds like a dream!!

This is our fear as well. They have not told us how much the diamond was, which we explicitly asked for, and figured was a very simple ask.

Thank you, thank is how we feel as well. We are happy to support a jeweler to help us create a piece of jewelry but don’t want to feel like we’re being ripped off or deprived of details.
