how much is it??
 
The company will contact you. They send you a mailer to send you the ring back to get the diamond set. I believe they give it back to you at conference before you walk for TPC.

At least this is what a sister consultant told me once.
 
I am sure they will mail you the ring with the diamond added if you can't be at National Conference.

I am just rubies - I just got the ring last year...I think $465 is OBSCENE for a ring that doesn't even have diamonds in it!!

I completely agree !!! And you have to give back the old one so you are paying for the TPC ring not earning it ! For that price how can they ask for the other back?:confused:

My thoughts exactly - personally I found it a bit insulting. :(
 
If I were to earn it I'd be happy to exchange with you!!! I like the old style better :)

I only need 7 more recruits!!!!! I have 3 possibilities that are "thinking" about it! ughh, oh soooo close---maybe :)
