Buying Jewelry – What Type? – What Price?
The good-looking young man had a puzzled look on his face. He seemed to wander up and down among the cases displaying jewelry of all types. He didn’t know if his girlfriend would like a crystal necklace but they were pretty.
He knew she often wore a necklace. She wore them with sweaters every day. But, she also wore them with low-neck dresses.
Then he wondered if his girl had too many necklaces already. There were such a variety of styles and colors and he thought maybe she would like something different. The blue stones in one seemed especially nice. Grace wore blue a lot.
He stopped at that display case and stared at the three in gold. One had a single stone suspended on a gold chain. He asked about the cost of that one.
One with dozens of stones seemed very artistic and it had pale lavender stones. It seemed intricate and he thought Grace would like that. The price was prohibitive he thought.
Turning to thoughts of earrings, he checked out the rows of rhodium earrings in one display case. He discussed the stones and materials with the saleslady. She talked to him about quality and price.
It was obvious that he didn’t know much about jewelry. She told him a little about prices and why they were different depending on the materials used. She saw him turn his gaze toward the earrings.
He talked about the special evening he had planned to celebrate his girlfriend’s twentieth birthday. He would take flowers when he picked her up. Then they were going to dinner where they would sit in their favorite booth. He already had the reservations made.
When he made the reservation, he arranged for a small cake for dessert. He asked if the staff would sing happy birthday and they said sure. The cake would be sponge cake, her favorite kind. He liked all cake so it was fine for him too.
Next, they could walk around at the lakefront, talking and laughing. If it was raining, he knew just what movie he’d take her to. He was an intelligent and thoughtful young man who knew what she would like.
All these plans went through his mind as he picked out the perfect pair of swarovski earrings. They were pale blue. He knew they would look beautiful with her blue eyes.
When she opened the box she would be really surprised. The earrings could become her favorite pair. They made a great birthday surprise He wanted Grace to enjoy every minute of the special evening he had planned. He left with the earrings packed in a gift box.
