This. All this. Same with the cost of a wedding or other wedding related stuff. Reverse snobbery is just as unbecoming.
Hold the crazy train. I must be missing something. You want cartier to ship an expensive ring to your local store so you can try it on and if you like it, have someone else replicate it for less? And the sales lady was probably rude because they probably get tons of people calling for pricing with no intention of buying (which I interpret that you were not intending on buying anyway).
