The title of this blog gave me the idea of making my next discussion. It is about adornments and ornamentations for women.
My wife wanted a pearl necklace for her birthday as a gift. Necklaces may have been one of the earliest types of adornment worn by women.
It was too expensive for me. I told her a watch would do. she was not convinced, but we went to a jewelry shop. Outside, by the left side of the door, displayed on a cupboard, there were earrings, bracelets, necklaces, hairpins, tiaras, cornets, and watches.
My wife pointed to one glimmering watch. There was a small paper attached to that watch written on it, this number 140,611. I thought it was the serial number of it, or some sort of a code number, or something. Then we pushed the door open and asked the man behind the counter about its price.
He smiled briefly and told us that each item had its price attached to it. I said, "Are you serious? One hundred forty thousand and six hundred and eleven riyal!"
I am not good at mathematics, but that was probably close to forty thousand US dollars. Those were the items exhibited on the glassy cupboard for the coming buyer. I did not want to see the inside items and I told my wife to leave that place before I get dizzy or have a heart attack.
The next day, I bought her a pearl bracelet that resembles a diamond for three hundred dollars. My wife loves me, she pretended it was so awesome and beautiful, but she knew that it was fake and she did not want to embarrass me in front of her friends.

Thank you so much Dara for sharing with us!🙏🌷
Dear Dara Gino, thank you for sharing a real story from your life.
We live in time of advancement of technologies. Luckily today, even cultivated (do not confuse with fake) pearls can look like natural ones. For instance, this set of a bracelet and a necklaces made of cultivated pearls and gold costs about 1500 dollars (see the picture attached), which sounds much more affordable than the item your wife had chosen. The issue is where it is acceptable to wear and be safe as well.
In addition, I couldn't agree more with the commentaries that real love and care are not about luxurious items of jewelry.
Tumari merhbani Rusanna. Thanks for all the illustrations you have provided. As a woman, you know how to describe that expensive thing. Thank you again for your nice and meaningful comment.
Rusanna, bahut bahut shukriya! Thanks for that nice photo. I will finish breakfast and give my feedback on your nice comment. In the meantime, take care.
I like the article, the topic, your interpretation of your thoughts into words and the way you think about the "how" not the "what".
The idea of how you make your partner happy, and how you show your love and respect is crystal clear between the lines.
I like you being smart and sensitive in uderstanding the reaction of your eife, yet how she expressed her love towards you, so she respected you showing how grateful she was.
Thus, the" how" is the matter not the what.
Thank you for delicate feelings towards your respectful wife.
Shookran ya Ustatha Hadeel! Kilmatic jameela wa hilwa zaiyk! I really appreciate your encouraging words. My wife was surprised like me. I cannot carry that amount of money and walk outdoors.
It is not safe for anyone. Thanks, Miss Hadeel for your kind and nice words.
Wa baadeen maak ya Miss Hadeel, aih alakalam alhilu dah? Now, I am going to pray Margrib prayer. Later, I shall reply. Nevertheless, many thanks for your delicate feelings. Don't forget to extend my greetings to your family.
Once more, Gaven, thanks for your link, and I hope to be one of your friends. Thanks.
Salam Gaven Rank. I will try to see that link. At the moment, I am busy writing an essay. I will see it later. Gaven, is it possible to be one of your friends? Thanks for your nice link.
