Should I buy a more expensive diamond necklace than she wanted?
Thankfully, she pointed this one out:

But I was thinking of upgrading to this one:
http://www.kay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product1%7C10101%7C10001%7C-1%7C172185605%7C15055%7C15055.20512.15609.15610
So, they do look a bit different. My question is, do I go with the one she pointed out, or upgrade? I want to get her the more expensive one, but perhaps she would not like it as much? The more expensive one has a bigger/same quality diamond, but doesn’t have the bling around the loops. Please, I need a woman’s opinion here.
I’m just happy she pointed me directy at what she wants. I just got a new job so $250 on the necklace won’t be an issue, and she deserves to be happy.
On a side note, I kind of have a problem with buying diamonds as they are useless as jewelry and seem to be a money machine that forces men to spend a lot of money on a rock. Do I REALLY need to prove how I feel by how much money I invest in jewelry? Is this not shallow of women to expect such things? And worse, couldn’t it be a blood diamond? It seems so silly to spend cash on something as trivial as a diamond. Alas, my girlfriend doesn’t have that view.

I am a woman (great opening line, right?) and i would be happy with whatever you got me. Just the fact that you took the time to look satisfies her. Also, we dont expect the gifts, we just are pointing out what we want. i say buy the more expensive one, and goodluck
