yes, chix get wet over them lil blue boxes. if any of y'all ever eff up real bad and need a "lil" band aid to get back in the house, bedroom or the constipated look/modd off your girl, just head down to tiffany. be forewarned, once you open up that can of worm$, it's a wrap tho. you'll have to keep coming thru w/bigger & better kiss ups, so use that only as your LAST resorts real occasionally.
but, seriously, you can get just as nice rings & stones from the jewlery mart and private jewlers if you know what you're doing and where to go. the Tiffany name/quality control, and status are great, but needless to say, all of that comes w/a price.
i've never been married, and haven't shopped for rocks+such myself, but plenty of my buds are shackled. a few purchased wifey's engagement+wedding shinekits from tiffany, but the majority went the privateer route. no complaints from either camps (expcept from the greedy mofo-ette$ that wanted bigger rocks)
the majority of the dudes that went to non-chain jewelers or the jewelry mart are anal as hell and always do their homework+then some tho.
fwiw, one of my best dudes got his wife's 1.5 carat rock from a dealer at the jewelry mart and had a fam friend jeweler make the band and set it. at another one of our boy's weddings, our recently married homegirl (his HS ex) showed up w/her 2 carat Tiffany. As usual, chicks flocked around when they saw the shines, and.........well, long story short, my boy's girl broke more necks w/her 1.5 cara than our homegirl w/the 2 ct.
to reiterate......do your homework + know your stuff + get some references/shop around. you can do just fine on your own.
btw, jc, not to play spelling cop, but yours is worsur than MR HELLA HANDSOME's! next time you head down to jade galore, maybe you can score g-ma a celeb discount. i don't think those guys know who dj am is tho.
