I'm not sure if this belongs here or not but I thought style was a good topic choice. I'll move it if it's wrong - sorry!

I went to late lunch with a girlfriend tonight and she confided that she and her husband are in deep financial peril. They've lost their homes to foreclosure and let their nanny and housekeeper go already. It's only a matter of time before her husband gets a new position but it will pay about a quarter of what he was making! They have downsized their whole lives and the only luxury they are keeping is her son's private school.

Back to the topic, I wondered aloud why she hasn't sold her gorgeous 3 carat diamond ring. She said they had and got less than they thought. They put almost all of the money in the bank (it was flawless) but she bought a moissanite ring as a stand in so they can keep up appearances without questions. Girls (and MrBee haha ) this ring is amazing! It is so sparkly and looks wonderful and was twinkling and picking up colors from the restaurant. I really want one but I didn't want to focus my conversation on her ring considering she needed a shoulder to cry on! Does anyone here have a moissanite ring?
