|
|
Hi all,
I wanted to know if it would be better to get a loose gemstone and then get it set according to my taste or should I just buy a ready made ring? Which one would be less expensive? Which one would be your personal choice? |

Off the shelf would be best, if it was exactly what you wanted. But best of breed is a viable strategy as well. _________________ "Method goes far to prevent trouble in business: for it makes the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and instructs those that have business depending, both what to do and what to hope."

I prefer to have my gemstones glued to the rear of my favourite red rear baboon at the zoo so I can see the bling on the a**
or
If I have strong emotions --- to force the SD Chipmunks to hold the gemstones in their cheeks

I've got to say this is something that's been a concern for me on more than one occasion. Trouble is, I've always felt too embarrassed to talk about it, so it's really great to see someone put it 'out there'. _________________ Did I just say that out loud?

You're missing one vital piece of information from your post - the url to a really good website that sells both loose gemstones and ready made rings.
You'll not get very far as a spammer if you don't include the url.

Hi mnsmith,
I just wanted to know if it's better to get a loose gemstone and then get it set or should I just buy a ready made ring? I haven't bought a gemstone or ring yet, so i need to know which one would be more preferable and less costly. |

It depends on circumstances and on your objectives. There is no simple answer that is the same for everyone everywhere. _________________ "Method goes far to prevent trouble in business: for it makes the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and instructs those that have business depending, both what to do and what to hope."

I say buy it loos and get it implanted into one of your front teeth. No one will mess with you then.
Buy a gun too. Just because.
