Celebrate good times with jewelry

I am here to write about something I have always wanted. Because I am cheesy and gooey and sentimental. And, I like pretty things. And, I think it is cool to have traditions and quite frankly, this would have been a good tradition to start. You know, if my family loved me enough. (kidding, my family loves me. Please don't call me, Mom. I know you love me.)





Anyway, Tiffany has these things. They are called celebration rings. They are stackable rings that are pretty and diamondy and sparkly. And way too expensive. And, as a marketing tool they are quite lovely. You buy one for someone important to you to celebrate important moments. So you will always remember them. So, you can be lunching with the Newpsies (or the Six Pack Pack, OMG, please get that reference) and they will be like, Look at that stack of rings weighing down your finger. And you can be all, well, this one is in celebration of our anniversary and this one is for the birth of my child and this one was when I joined AA, or whatever really special event you want to remember forever. It is a cool idea.





They have recently jumped this into the several thousand dollar range. When I first saw these it was five years ago they were stackable rings that were sterling with a tiny little stone in them. At that time, they were around $175. Jump forward a few years and these same rings now range from $215 to $265. They have them in emerald, sapphire, ruby and diamond rings and they are so cute. I thought they would be a cool thing for girls my age. Mostly because I wanted them. You get one when you graduate from high school and college. Another when you get your first job. Your first apartment. There are a lot of firsts in a girls life... grandma or daddy should pony up for these rings.


Anyway, hint hint. I heart these.
