HELP - What do I tell DH?

[pattyT]

HEY SPLSHMNT - I just realized you are in my neighborhood-
My insurance may just be through your Agency!
LOL

I actaully started this post when I saw dimwitted enough to have lost 2 pieces within a week - now that I have found one I am much more comfortable telling him!

So thanks for some good ideas!

Tell him you know what you want for Christmas, replicas of the missing jewelry. If he asks why, tell him they sorta disappeared.

I would just flat out tell him.
Don't be cutesy or anything- just be straight with him and tell him when he gets home.

As far as being concerned about him not buying any more jewelry for a while, I would leave it up to him. If I lost $1000 ring, my husband probably won't buy me another for a few years and I would agree that he shouldn't.

If you do find it, I would make sure it's sized properly and kept in a safe place when you aren't wearing it or doing any household work.

for that very reason. I would be so afraid of losing it. I've looked at nice jewelry when we went on our cruises, and have been tempted but knew I wouldn't really enjoy wearing it for fear of losing it.

I wanted "diamond earrings" for Christmas but told DH, nothing expensive as I don't want to worry about losing them!! I got small studs and they're just perfect. They're "real diamonds" but he didn't spend a fortune on them so I can enjoy wearing them and not worry much about losing them.

I will inherit a diamond ring eventually, though, from my Mom. It was my Grandma's and is something like 2-3 carats and definitely an antique as it belonged originally to my Grandma's aunt. Mom keeps it in their safe, which is where I will keep it eventually too. I would be too afraid of wearing it, and losing it!!!

The insurance agency employee brings up a good point. The limit on theft of jewerly on a normal policy is VERY small. (I think mine is $1,000 with a max of $200 on each piece). The diamond earrings my BF bought me this Xmas are over the total limit. I am having to have stuff appraised, but iit will also cover losing the jewerly when I travel etc so it is well worth it. My mother hides all her stuff in a safety depoist box, but I don't know what the point of having it is if you can't wear it.
