Hey Macy's, you get me. You had me at "hello!":) |
I see what I want for Christmas on the latest cover. Unfortunately, it will remain only a wish ... since the tab adds up to a huge chunk of change. Do the math: A budget buster even after applying a 30% discount!
Still perusing and admiring are free! So let's take a look at the beautiful emerald set on the front cover. For sure, some-lucky-body will get more than sugarplums dancing in her head ... and find these sparklers under her tree. Will it be you?
2) Brasilica by EFFY® Emerald (9/10 ct. t.w.) and Diamond (1/6 ct. t.w.) Pear-Shaped Ring in 14k White Gold, Created for Macy's - How about created for THE SAVVY SHOPPER ... ahhh, doesn't it have a nice ring to it?:)
3) Macy's Emerald (6-1/2 ct. t.w.) & Diamond (1/8 ct. t.w.) Drop Earrings in 14k White Gold -- Jeminy Cricket Christmas, gorgeous! Also should've been created for muah, but someone forgetful forget to tell the universe!
Save for a small stone in a Christmas bell charm, I don't own any emeralds. They are rarer and thus more expensive than diamonds per carat. Emeralds register an 8 on the Mohl's Hardness Scale of gems; their relative sturdiness make them suitable to wear as necklaces, earrings and rings. They are the birth stone for May babies.
As the Savvy Shopper, allow me to throw you several consolation bones. Many people can't afford the stunning set (above and to the right sans ad copy) without mortgaging their home, but we can find pretty emeralds to get something of the effect of the pricey set. Macy's has a big inventory combined with promotions to fit every budget ... a reason I like their fine jewelry department. You can find a lovely piece and honest customer service at Herald Square and online. Here is a budget friendly pick that will produce a stellar effect for less:
Macy's Emerald (1-1/5 ct. t.w.) & Diamond Accent Curved Bar Stud Earrings in 14k Yellow Gold - Quite a respectable size! Drop earrings make the effect of smaller stones appear larger.
Other emerald beauties for under $400 (on sale). If you miss one promotion, simply wait for another, as they return during the year:

Dearest Debbie,
ReplyDeleteWow, those Statement necklace prices are steep too!
Love Emeralds though and I've got a ring with Emerald and earrings, that's it!
Yesterday was a sad day, we lost our Best friend...
Life goes on, glitter and all.
Hugs,
Mariette
Yes, the necklace is expensive full priced and with discounts! Most of us couldn't possibly own every beautiful stone ... which doesn't stop me from looking and appreciating!
DeleteI think if a person really, really desires emeralds, or perhaps has a May birthday and a job, it would be perfectly understandable to save up to buy an emerald piece within his/her budget. Just don't mortgage your house or sell the farm.🙂

DeleteNice to read your comment it is very useful for me. I love the look of
ReplyDeleteNatural Emerald Earrings! The green color is very vibrant and beautiful, and it stands out on the skin. I think these earrings would be perfect for any special occasion or to add a touch of glamor to your everyday look.
I so agree! Maybe a part of it is how vivid green ties us with nature?
