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.

Arigato Tam! I agree with you, we do not have too much interest in jewelry like our women. I hope that my wife leaves the habit of buying whatever is new on the market. Sometimes she forgets, but suddenly her cell phone starts to ring. Apparently, it is one of her friends telling her to hurry to an X jewel shop because there is a discount or a special offer. You made me laugh. Who doesn't want a lady like that? Thanks, Tam for your funny comment.
Lol! Shin akhbar Said Almogrbe? So, I am not alone. These things happen to many of us. Thanks for your quick reply.
I am not interested in Jewelry. Men are less interested in Jewelry than women, aren't they? I like women who are not interested in expensive Jewelry. :D
Muitissimo obriado Thayslane Araujo! That was very kind of you my lady. I really want to enhance my Brazilian learning and give it a push by your help and the other faithful Brazilian friends of mine. You did not give us your point of view about jewelry. You are a lady, and a beautiful one, certainly, you have an idea about these adornments. Thanks, Thayslane for your help in advance.
Hello Dara;
Of course Dara ... I'm also happy to be your friend. I will do my best to help you with Potuguese.
Sahih ya James Bond! It is better to keep our long leg according to our beds. If you want to satisfy women, you will never be able to do that. Once she sees something good, she just wants it. I told my friend Fizzy to hold the stick from the middle. How can I buy something so expensive as that? I want to build a house for my kids and give them the good education. Thanks, James for your nice proverb. I really liked it.
the proverb says put your legs on your quilt , you did the right thing you bought something worthy according to your financial potential .
Vha uchit tha, SNR! That was really reasonable. Your mother wanted you to have beautiful bangles, but she did not know the price would exceed the roof of ten thousand Saudi riyal which is very expensive. It was the wise decision you made when you left that shop. Thanks, SNR for your true story about those bangles. That means you were here with us in Saudi Arabia, am I right? Thanks for your nice and true story.
Fizzy, alur mereka sangat bagus! You cannot defeat women when they plan secretly to do something. One thing is certain, try to hold the stick from the middle. Thanks, Fizzy for your nice comment.
