I need clarification on whether this means ‘Would you like some expensive jewellery as a free gift which you can then sell on Ebay to buy books and craftin’ gear’ or ‘Would you like to use your own hard-earned wonga to buy some expensive jewellery?’

If it’s the former, hell yeah, if it’s the latter, er, no. Jewellery is nice, in its case: I can never be bothered to put any on.

I have never been much of a jewelry person. I don’t wear any. I think of it as the ultimate of extravangance. I have three valuable pieces. They have meaning to me because each was given to me by my husband. I don’t believe I would spend my money on jewelry even after I become debt free.

Plonkee–you’re quite right that it’s beautiful. That’s one reason why I think it’d make sense if even frugal people wanted it.

Mr. Micah and I used to get out books with pictures of crown jewels and stuff and just look at the pretty.

Actually, I would like some expensive jewellery. Not so much because of the expense of it, but because it’s beautiful.

Sorry – that was meant to say “I laughed out loud”. My typos are atrocious since I started using the internet.

Mrs Micah – I left our loud when you mentioned your husbands version of those songs. And his lyrics probably wouldn’t be far wrong considering the amount of drugs the Beatles will have put away between them over the years.

Expensive jewellery doesn’t do a lot for me. I did get a couple of really cheap rings off QVC years ago, and everyone thought they were real, so I don’t see the point in buying expensive stuff. I wouldn’t be able to tell whether it was real anyway.

See, I don’t want any jewelry because I have been given more than I can use. Apparently my great-grandma was fond of wearing lots of flashy jewelry – the real stuff. So I got one of her diamond rings – a TON of sentimental value for me, but the price tag attached to it doesn’t say a lot for me.

I hardly wear it either, because I’m scared to death of damaging a 70 year old diamond. So I already KNOW that I don’t want expensive jewelry, cuz I already have some, and it goes on my finger only during special occasions. It’s fun seeing people’s reactions when I tell them that ring is real though – it looks like costume jewelery.

I think you’re going to get a jaded number on here with the poll because we all came for a reason! We’re ALL frugal!!! But good call though, who doesn’t want to be rich, eh?
