Random Musing

I have a question: Seriously, when did giving jewelry as gifts become obsolete? You're going to give that special loved one something expensive anyway, right? So what's wrong with a few simple but elegant choice pieces? Granted you're not supposed to do this all the time, and the actual choice of jewelry should be thoroughly thought of, i.e. do not under any circumstance give rings without a promise attached. Other than some no-nos, what's stopping people?
