What kind of diamonds? Certified Canadian Arctic diamonds? Oh wait, my ears aren't pierced.
I'll take the gown, I have a thing for pretty dresses.

Please tell me someone else enjoys "Ice Road Truckers" and knows all about how they get supplies to the Canadian diamond mines by driving on the Ice Road.
Someone? Anyone?

I like the idea of a spa, too, but I inherited a wonderful pair of antique diamond earrings. I could handle a pair that's either emerald- or brilliant-cut, though!
ETA: I don't care if a moose carried them to the US - is anything quite as exciting as diamonds?!

My husband, but I usually cut his viewing pleasure short with a critically pitched "what are you watching?"
(really, I watched some of the "Deadly Catch," I think it was, about Alaskan Crab guys; can't I draw the line now on cold weather reality employment shows and still be a pretty good sport?)

[quote=Dionysus;1494728]Ok, I have never heard of C or D. Yay for being an unsophisticated GCer!
OMG...guess I am another unsophiscated GCer, I have heard of only one of these, and won't say which one. My mother and aunt would know them all.
I am long convinced that my older sister, happiest in cowboy boots, a denim shirt and jeans, and myself---my purse is a backpack, and my shoes are usually flip flops, were both switched at birth. I did have to get a suit last year, jones of new york, and good grief, the pricetag. 
Instead, I would bank/invest most of the money, and then spend a little on airbrushing, as am no longer supposed to be in the sun like I used to.
sorry for interrupting the survey.

D. I second whoever said they'd rather have a pretty dress than a bag or earrings.

Either the diamonds or the Birkin. It's not a trendy bag at all...

Square cut or pear-shaped, these rocks don't loose there shape. Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

To echo some others...
Yeah, I've never heard of C or D, either. My purse is a diaper bag. I'm now a SAHM with two still in diapers, so my opportunities for wearing the suit or the gown are few and far between.
The diamonds are the only real choice here. Even if I were wearing sweats, I imagine that a $10,000 pair of diamond studs would make me feel a little like a woman again - before I became that "M" word.
Of course, like someone else said, I'd rather sell them on eBay for the cash, but that wasn't an option.

I'll take the diamonds, only because they won't go out of style or get eaten by moths while they sit in my attic waiting to be used!
And I love this show- that and the Dangerous Catch show. I don't have time to watch sitcoms or dramas on a weekly basis, so I am always lost. So instead I have become addicted to the real life shows on TLC and Discovery.
I have wondered, do the guys on the crab boats ever boil up some of the crabs they have just caught for dinner?

Our proofreader is somewhat obsessed with that show because we once did an article on the Canadian diamond mines.
-----------------
On topic: it would be a tough choice between the Birkin and the diamonds, but I'd have to go with the earrings.

Why no to the mink coat? Because of animal rights and how the are killed and all of that? How do you feel about diamond cartels and how they are mined?

Okay, no political or moral discussions allowed on my Delightfully Escapist Thread!! 
And to you ladies who would sell the item and invest the money: No practicality allowed here!
