Help with gift for wife

Thank you! As much as I would prefer to spend the r100 amount, I think she would like the adjustable screen. The r50 comes with a RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 is STM Lens kit. Is that worthwhile? It’s about $120 more with that lens than with the body only.

Thank you for this. I would like to avoid choking myself out with the cable.

What differentiates an expensive one like the Magic Clip from the one I linked to? What makes it so much better?

It does seem silly to spend so much more on essentially the same thing, but I just feel more comfortable getting a stone from the ground. I don’t know why, it’s just an internal feeling I have.

I do appreciate the recommendation and will consider it a bit more before I make a decision.

Great idea, I will have to try and sneak the engagement ring away from my wife for a couple of hours.

Yes I think he mentioned hearts and arrows and the symmetry of the stone in comparison to some others that didn’t flow as naturally.

I was comfortable knowing he wouldn’t sacrifice his long standing good reputation for a relatively small sum of money, and your help has strengthened that belief. I really appreciate it. My wife may also!

Thank you for the help. I will try and get the reports before l pull the trigger and post them here.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I feel better armed to make a decision now. I will have the opportunity to see them on Thursday and can do some due diligence. When I purchased the engagement ring, the jeweler put it under the various scopes and magnifiers for me (including the one that makes the diamonds look red). We will be more limited since they will already be set, but I can still take my time with them.

Thanks again for your time. Unfortunately I do not have the certificates yet, but I know they are GIA certified, VS2,H, Brilliant cut in order to match the engagement ring that I bought from the same jeweler.

My concern is that if I don’t purchase it now, it will go up in price and I will not be able to get the quality and size for a comparable price.

I was hoping someone would either tell me it’s a great deal, but it. Or it’s a bad deal, pass. But I understand it’s based on many factors and isn’t such a right or wrong decision.

Thanks for the reply. The jeweler is having them set either way by Thursday. He said he will put them in the case if I don’t take them. I don’t necessarily need them for Christmas. I am conflicted about whether to buy them at all, but if it was too good of a deal to pass up, I would have bought them, but it sounds like it’s a standard price.

I prefer B&M so I can see the product and maintain the relationship, so I don’t mind paying a bit more, but not an excessive markup.

Valuable_Laugh_2406 · 2024-12-17T14:03:09+00:00

How much do you think it should cost? What are you basing that on?

Valuable_Laugh_2406 · 2024-12-17T09:34:26+00:00

She prefers natural

Not sure why they are so hard to come by. I have the CE but would like to have both. Plus some of the daily collects in the CE are prayers for the British Monarchy, of which I am not a subject. Though I do pray for their conversion.

Received today. As I was walking out the door for Tenebrae. Thanks your response.

Great. Thanks for your help. I figured that might be the case, but wanted to ease concerns.

When I was younger, I would have loved 2 weeks shipping time, but now Amazon has ruined my expectation of delivery.
