Tip: don’t tell wife to get whatever makes her happy, then let her try on 20+-carat diamond ring.

On a recent episode of “The Real Housewives of Dallas,” Stephanie Hollman and husband Travis went to the deBoulle jewelry store for their wedding anniversary, which proved to be a costly venture, as 2paragraphs writes.

The article says that Hollman – knowing that “Travis will buy me anything if he think it’ll make me happy” – chooses a $75,000 diamond bracelet (which of course Travis buys). But the big mistake comes when the husband allows store owner Denis de Boulle “to let Stephanie try on his 20 carat diamond ring ‘for your tenth anniversary.’ Presumably it would make her happy, so if what she says is true … yikes. It costs $2.5 million.” There has been no confirmation yet that the item has been sold to the Hollman’s.

Longtime INSTORE readers will recall that deBoulle won third place in the 2007 America’s Coolest Stores contest.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
