I need to buy diamond earrings but don’t ever buy from retail establishments that mark it up 4x. Where do I go in Austin?

Why do you need diamond earrings? Are you an NBA player?  

He seems pretty adamant, you better go with the grill.

For earrings, if you’re looking for a good deal, buy the man made diamonds online.  She won’t know the difference.  Hope that was helpful.

Wouldn't a nice watch work just as well?

I have a personal jeweler I could recommend. She’ll do custom work or help you find something “off the rack” if that’s your preference. Bought several diamonds from her, and I know she sells moissanite if you want to secretly save some money

Lightbox is DeBeers lab grown diamond arm - they are "real" diamonds just lab grown

https://lightboxjewelry.com/

depending on what you want you can get 1 CTW studs (.5 each) for a grand - going to have a very tough time beating that price anywhere else. half carat (.25 each) go for $500

again, they are legit lab grown diamonds from a legit company - not a scam.

For jewelry that's only marked up. say 2x, you want to stick with coin/gold/pawn shops. DON'T tell her you got them at a pawn shop, because every woman on the planet not named Mrs. Canecutter will insist that you pay full markup so she'll feel special. Tell her they are "vintage", because they will be.

Remember this fact:  Diamonds are NOT rare, repeat, NOT RARE.  There are metric tons of them sitting in warehouses and the price is artificially supported and pumped at multiple levels.  Fucking commies.

I think everyone knows that, but when you combine the powers of pussy, keeping up with the Joneses, and maybe even a little bit of actual true love... Debeers gonna keep laughing at us all the way to the bank.  Good luck telling most chicks they should be logical and reasonable about diamonds. 
 

The jewelry case at costco seems to have lots of shiny things.  Don't know about prices, but it always sparkles when I walk by on my way back to the booze section.

Get a grill instead
Why not both?

Every one will be having sales right now. ‘Tis the season. My last purchase was at a new Jared. A grand opening combined with pre-Black Friday. Wasn’t planning on walking out with jewelry, but it happened. I also feel like my dollars went pretty far.
