I was watching IW the other night, and the pick of the day was a triple A grade tanzanite ring, in a choice of 14 carat white or yellow gold. It looked fab, it had been reduced for the offer down to £129.99, and was split in to three easy pays. I'm not really a one for rings, but somehow this grabbed me, it looked so beautiful and I must admit I've always fancied a nice bit of tanzy..so I bunged it on my card. Delivery was guaranteed for Valentine's day, and it came today..so fantastic service there, mind you I did pay £7.95 p&p!
I excitedly opened the packet, to find the most dainty, tiny ring you've ever seen...the actual ring (the gold bit) is really really thin, the stones are really really small, and the colour, well they're a very pretty lilac colour, which one would immediately think was Amethyst. I popped it on my finger, and despite having quite long and slender fingers, the ring just got "lost" on there IYKWIM!
I can't ever see myself wearing it, so I go to the post office on the way to work and send it back. I know it's my own fault, as the dimensions are written on the website description, and the stones look much much paler than they did on the t.v, but as it was selling out very fast, I literally jumped to the phones...silly me!
I'm a bit peeved that I've wasted £8 on nothing, and that I'll have to return it at my own expense...hopefully that shouldn't cost too much..but I guess I'll have learned myself a lesson!
