Welcome to Amy's Addiction! 4/27/2009
To those of you who know my story, I love you. To my new visitors who may not know me personally, Welcome! I hope to help you have a positive and rewarding eBay experience.
ANYHOW. . .
Diamonds are forever . . . and it certainly helps if your name is DeBeers. If you happen to have a name other than DeBeers, then you are in the right place!
I LOVE jewelry. I love sparkly, colorful, shiny, bold, (did I say sparkly?) jewelry. However, after years of my addiction to baubles being in direct violation with the contents of my wallet, I had to come up with a different strategy. Oh I still want it, but at least this way I still see new items all the time; I just don’t get to keep them. Saying good-bye is not easy! You will often see my personal opinions in the description--I simply can’t help myself.
Anyway, I started looking back at some of my purchases with a new eye. I know all of the brand names for Cubic Zirconium Jewelry, (Diamonique, Absolute, Diamonelle, and so on.) and have at least one piece from each. I was shocked at what I‘d paid for some of this stuff! I mean, come on! I know when an item comes with a Made in China sticker that it did not cost $163.00 to make!
Amy’s Addiction is my revenge on the people still charging way too much for jewelry, while recognizing that there are tons of women exactly like me--you know who you are!--who love and need that sparkle. Women who want a gorgeous wedding set or engagement ring who frankly would rather use their money for a down payment, a mortgage payment, or in this economy, food.
So, please don’t be insulted when I tell you that I have decided to call my CZ stones Diamerdes.* Yes, I know what merde means. Let’s just say that when you tell . . . Well, anyone your gorgeous ring is “real”, they will have no clue that you are full of merde! Or that it was probably made in China!
Diamerde* is not a special brand, and I will always let you know if I am selling one of the brand names or an artist’s original piece. I will never list anything I would not wear myself. I just really like what Diamerde* means to me. You can buy several Diamerde* pieces of jewelry and still relax because you haven’t put yourself in financial jeopardy. If you are uncomfortable with telling your friends about Diamerde*, I have several other responses to the--GASP--, "Is it real”? Question.
1) As far as YOU know.
2) Do you see it? Oh, thank goodness, bless your heart. I thought I was imagining things! Well, if you see it too then it must be real!
3) I was bored the other night so I decided to swallow it. Getting it back was a messy job but now I’m positive, YES! It’s real!
4) How much money does your husband/significant other make? “Really! That’s ALL?
These responses seem to be working well for me, and my clients! So far my clients are positively thrilled with their Diamerde* jewelry and I choose to believe that this is not because I’m related to all of them. (Just Kidding) I have a small, but loyal, client base on eBay already, and with this store I will definitely offer discounts to repeat customers.
So, look around! Also, all of this jewelry is 100% Man Made! For those of you who love the price tag, but just cannot get past the idea that real gemstones come from the earth, I offer an extra service for your peace of mind. For no additional cost, I will bury your jewelry in my backyard and then dig it up before sending it to you! I will do anything for my loyal clients!
Take care, lots of love, happy shopping, and please e-mail me with any questions.
Amy Williamson, CEO--LOL
P.S. “Diamonds are forever”, DeBeers? Good Grief. What do you think my Diamerde*s are going to do, self implode?
