Push present - Cartier/Longines watch or an eternity ring?

[kab77]

Hey ladies!
I'm now 8 month pregnant with my first baby girl. My hubby is thinking of buying me a push present . It's also something that I want to pass to my little girl when she's older. ( her 18 birthday or for her high school graduation.) I'm deciding between these few choices - What do you gals think?

1. Cartier Tank Francaise, lady size in stainless steel, white face.

Pro - a classic watch that won't ever go out of style!
Cons - our budget will only get us a stainless steel one without any diamonds.

2. Longines Dolce Vita Ladies Mini, with 28 diamonds set on case.

Pro - Major bling bling!
Con - Longines is not as classic as Cartier. I don't know whether it will still be in style when my girl is 18.

3. Half eternity ring with shared setting

I like this setting, and my local jeweler has a similar one to this Tiffany one that will fit my budget.

Pro - Eternity ring is a classic gift for the birth of the first child
Con - I cannot wear rings to work (I'm a dentist) - thus cost per wear will be high.

i vote cartier. its the most classic (besides the ring) but will still get some use from you before you pass it on to your daughter. i like the simplicity of the stainless. it will go with whatever style is popular 20 years from now.

The Cartier would be my choice, although the ring is gorgeous too.

Cartier would be my choice, it's timeless...

I prefer the ring over either watch, but I am not a huge watch fan to begin with. As for watches, I would go w/ the one that you think will have more staying power.

I vote for the ring too!

I vote for the Cartier watch.

 

[toiletduck]

I also vote for the Cartier!

I vote for the half eternity ring!!! To me, it's a much more romantic and timeless present than a watch.

Afterall, this is a push present! JMO.

tough choice. but i would probably go with the tank. such classic piece that you and your daughter will appreciate many years down the road.

congrats on your pregnancy and have a safe delivery and speedy recovery!
