Damn you Jared The Galleria of Jewelry

I know....there has been a lot of "damn you's" lately but this one is totally justifiable!  So I got off of work a little early today so I could run a couple of errands...Mia free....before I got home for the night.  I had to run to Target for diapers and juice and my crazy pills.  Then I ran to Cub to get a couple of groceries for dinner and the weekend.  Then I thought it was a real good idea to buzz on over to Jared to "look" at a couple of new glass charms for my Pandora bracelet.  I wanted to "look" for a February stone color and a May stone color for Carter and Belle's birthstones.   
First of all....Nikki in a jewelry store....not a good idea.  Nikki at Jared.....really not a good idea.  Pretty much every single piece of jewelry that I own is from there.....I know, I know...."he went to Jared"!!!  But really....he did!! 
Anyway, I ended up leaving there over $100 poorer and with a new fuckin credit card!  Yeah....I'm a total sucker.  I swear though, this girl was good.  I picked out my two glass murano purple and green pieces and was totally fine with that.  Then she was all like, "you should totally get a couple of spacers, then your pieces won't move around so much and clink all together, it will make it stiffer and help it to sit better on your wrist"  And then I was all like "well....I'm pretty sure my husband isn't going to be happy that I stopped here at all so I'm not too sure about the spacers".  And she was all " they are only like $15 a piece and it will make it soooo much better"  And I was all "OKAY!!!"  P.S. Yeah they weren't $15!!! 
So then I'm trying to decide on how I wanted to pay for it.  This is where the gal knew she had me.  She's all "well our interest rate on our Jared card is only 1.5% and our card is not through any kind of bank and it's all ours and blah blah blah blah"  Okay, fine, why not, it is where we get all of our jewelry.  So she ran it and it came back that I was approved for a $10,000 limit.  Seriously??  Are you fuckin kidding me?  Nikki....$10,000....jewelry store...Jared nontheless.....shit....my husband my beat me! 
In all reality though I would never be able to spend that much there....well I could....but I wouldn't.  And I am super pumped about my new charms and spacers.  And now I've got my eye on two more to add.  I should probably wait just a little bit though....maybe I'll go back next week!!!!

  2. Girl, I could squander $10000 in a jewelry store in a heartbeat..I've got a little bit of a diamond habit. I blame my husband, he started it. We feed the disease every 5 years or so with a new diamond ring on our anniversary, then there are the occasional bracelets, earrings, and necklaces thrown in every once in awhile just to keep me on my toes.My goal is to get myself a 3 carat princess cut solitaire...maybe for our 25th. Only 14 more years:) Well, maybe for our 20th:)LOL Happy Jewelry buying!

  4. Hahaha my husband went to Jared too for all my wedding related jewelry. Come to think of it, I'm due to go back in and have my ring inspected. I have a rule for myself...I am allowed to look neither left or right, but only straight ahead at the sale associate when I go in there. Sparkle blinders, if you will.

  5. The one by my house must be a dud. We went in when we were looking for wedding bands and the offered to clean my engagement ring while we browsed. Very sweet, but they then proceeded to strip my ring (it's white gold) and I had to take it back to the store it came from to be fixed. Granted that was a looooong time ago :)
