Others, too. But I'm really calling in to say that these bags, like the sapphire engagement rings WASPs have always favored, are pure stealth wealth. Both groups enjoy pulling the polar fleece over Abe's eyes. Mary, I think my other love, Ghesquière, did a turn for Moncler a few years back. Others, too.

You did your homework and at the same time freed yourself from the tyranny of the diamond... As Moff said, the diamond engagement ring is largely a DeBeers-begat custom, and one that's completely unnecessary. Not every woman wants a big ugly ring pop of a solitaire, and you've done good by checking with your girl beforehand. I know women who have requested pearls, emeralds, even so-called semiprecious stones for their rings; it's entirely a matter of taste. A good sapphire can be stunning, and paired with a deco setting? You can't go wrong. Nice job! As somebody who has spent years writing for the jewelry industry, I can't applaud you more.
