Gold?
by So, I thought I was doing well getting a platinum engagement ring, but then I hear people complaining that it scratches and isnt as nice after a while. I still LOVE my ring, but I'm trying to pick out a wedding band, and now I'm having some problems deciding which metal to choose.
I've heard that since gold is so much softer, a ring will wear down and get really thin. Also, I know that white gold wears off after a while since it's only plated with rhodium (sp?)
Anyone have any suggestions?

Let your fiance register for Gaming Systems... and let him get a new car....ahem..
so far...the best suggestion!
I suggest you stay with the platinum. Im haven the same problem. I just found the band I want at tiffanys yesterday,, its platinum w/bagetts.(my engagemnet band is platinum also) although it is a softer metal and scratches easier, you can tell the difference in the 2 (white gold / platinum) when they are together.. well i can anyway. I definatly suggest staying with the platinum!
and btw,, let me say going into the Short Hills Mall is like going into a different world, a world of Snooty people with there gucci bags and prada shoes swing, swing, swinging, clap, clap, clapping!, its quite different!
i only go there to shop at brooks brothers
hmm i just found out this girl i know has some pocket book thats worth 500$... let me say WHAT THE HECK!?!?!?! 500 for a pocket book? id guard that thing with my life. Id kill someone if they looked at it. My wallet was 20$ and i have had it for 8 years now, i know girls like to spend a lil more money and be fashionable but come on now!
showy display of one's means of living. (close enough)
I hate when girls do that-it is almost obscene. And I almost had a heartattack when some of my friends bought bags for $200. They were like well it's Coach. Big stinking deal it better be plated in gold for that amt of $$. I don't think all my bags ever equalled $200.
what do guys think about these new bags with one giant letter on the face?
I think if a guy even notices details on women's handbags, then he is a gay.
haha
and you would be wrong
are you saying you look at women's handbags...and like them?!
the question was whether i notice details on handbags...and YES, i watched a show about new handbag fashion for spring...and YES, i noticed when some stars wore those bags for the golden globes...and NO, i'm not ghey :p
umm, i duno, sometimes there will be a bag i really like, and ill buy it even if its like 100.00 , but thats like HARDLEY EVER, i have to really think its worth it! id be afraid to walk around with a bag more then 100.00 cause with the way i loose stuff id have to chain it to me!
the only thing of mine clothes-wise that ever cost much money was a $300 silk dress from Sakks my mom bought as a MAJOR splurge (AND it was VERY on sale)... guess it depends on your budget. i just usually wait for things to go on sale and i'm not on the cutting edge of fashion, but i live with it.
My older sister used to work at Betsey Johnson. They were all little poor girls but pretended they were rich and played dress up in the clothing
try aluminum. just dont put it in the microwave
i'd talk to a reliable jeweler. i've had my gold ring for seven years. sure it's worn down a bit...but that's not the point. it's the sentimental value that's important to me.
that's what I'm saying - I dont want to have to replace it if it wears so thin, it breaks.
wears so thin, it breaks??? i've never heard someone's wedding band breaking...especially on guys who may work with their hands all their life. keep in mind that getting a 14k ring vs. 18k will make it stronger, because the more gold, the softer the metal.
go with plastic, it never wears, plus you get a whole box o' cracker jacks to enjoy!
What about the gaming system?
just tie a string around your finger... that'd make me want you. count of monte cristo... what was that girls name. i was so in love.
Nothing Gold Can Stay. So I've heard.
did you see their house on Cribs?
that was kinda lame, cause it wasnt like all of them, it was just the drummer and basist.. i think... right?
what do you expect they all live together?
HAHAHA (mike's a little sheltered)
yeah but i liked how the drummer (i think it was) said "i just have clothes like normal people have like you and me"
even homeless people have clothes
yea i caught that too, i was like... umm.. who said you werent like the rest of humanity... i think they have a bit of a fame complex....
