Waste of money. If a guy bought me a big diamond ring, I'd know then and there he didn't know jack ****ing **** about me. Diamonds are boring. And a huge ring is a waste of ****ing money that could be so much better spent something else, like maybe on a honeymoon. Unless the guy was filthy rich, I'd never accept an expensive ring. If I actually wanted to marry someone a ring is entirely unnecessary. But if we did want rings, then they would be simple and lacking any boring diamonds.


This is very similar to the wedding bands *I* bought myself and my fiance when I was engaged years ago:

What is that on the rings?
 
You can pick which one you'd rather marry - a logical creature, or a woman.

If you want the latter, be prepared to shell out for the rock.

I'll buy a CZ and take a logical woman.


Lab created diamonds are diamonds for all pratical purposes

The backlash is from the diamond industry, which stands to lose a lot of money as created diamonds reduce the artificial shortage of diamonds in the market, driving up the price, and profits

The DeBeers cartel doesn't like that one bit.


I think that's a great idea. A cubic zirconia is virtually undistinguishable to the naked eye and tough to tell under a loupe, so much so that most of them have CZ etched on them to avoid fraud. A nice CZ in a gold/platnium band. If a gal's not happy with that, it portends reeeeeal trouble, imo. Spend the money saved on a wedding or honeymoon or whatever.

Diamonds aren't even that rare. If DeBeers Diamond Cartel didn't regulate the market, it would flood and prices would drop enormously.

jewelers say that good diamonds would cost about $25 per carat if DeBeers didn't have their near monopoly.


If someone wants a unique and rare gem they should go for Serindibite, Taaffeite, Benitoite, Majorite. . . all have striking color and unique histories behind how they're form. A majorite, for example, is only formed by the impact of a meteor.

Of course- they're so rare they're likely unaffordable. But if I was going to spend a year's salary on a gem it wouldn't be a diamond.

How about a 144 carat tsavorite for $1,200,000?
