lol oh wow.... i dont know how people can openly ask for stuff.
Its just beyond my understanding, ive never come across anyone like that....ever
my mother in law keeps telling my mom not to do anything... infact she said you dont even need to make real gold jewelry its too much, just get artificial set and no one has to know and dont even tell us... :) (thats why i luv her)
I think that if you are not comfortable giving such expensive stuff than you need to speak up and say something. Chances are if stuff like this can happen before it could happen after too.
