Get her the jewellery, just be grateful that she likes wearing nice things. My taste in jewellery/adornments is unfortunately different to my wife's. I think mine is much nicer... of course, but i'm not the one wearing them.
Take the overwhelming advice from the members,you got away with pm's last time,this time it's her wish or you will be in the doghouse with sore bits. I speak from experience, it takes ages for them to get over it. Buy her the pearls and yourself pm's both happy win,win
How is an anniversary gift of jewellery an investment? If she is at all sentimental then she won't want to part with it in the future (bar some great depression scenario or divorce...). I guess your just trying to take some of the sting out of the purchase by pretending its an investment. If she's been a good girl I'd just get her the pearls, and let her know what you desire so she can do the same for you.
+1 Only a married man can understand this. Buy her the pearls, or anything that she likes. But do not buy her what YOU like.
After 42 yrs of marriage to the same lady I feel qualified to comment here. BUY her what she wants. If you could spend say $250-300 and guarantee your car would cause you no or only little grief for the next yr you would spend it. You can look at it as an investment in your future happiness, cheap
The decision has been made, but I fell I still need to comment...... If I was a share investor would I buy my wife/gf shares for her bday or an anniversary? The answer is no- I bet that would go down like a lead balloon. What is it that's different about precious metal investment where people think its ok to give an investment product as a present?
I'm hoping it was linked for a joke, but I'm also sincerely hoping I'm not the only one that finds that picture - politely put - disturbing.
