I'm glad my fiance isn't picky and doesn't really give a shit about jewelry. She'd wear a goddamn cheerio and it wouldn't really make a difference to her nor I.

$10k seems like alot..but for a 1.5ct, d-color, si1 clarity...it seems about normal...im sure with the purchase, you got a bogus replacement value card, of like $15k....

Im looking to get a 3-stone ring. 1.25ct in center, with two .75s on side. Total of 2.75cts. I can get a deal for it. And appraisal should range $10k or higher..

This is similar to the ring we picked out...it will have the 1.51ct. in the center with 2 round brilliant cut diamonds and 4 baguette cut diamonds that weigh a total of .70 carats.

Wrong! It's not worth it. He got suckered into a lifestyle lie that proves absolutely nothing about his love for his fiancee. You wouldn't understand because you're not married.


But seriously, Alex is right, if an African village was burned to the ground or better yet, had their children hacked to death for it, then yes it was a wise investment. Congratulations!

Do they come with a little "history" card, with maybe names and photos of those that died so you could have it? Kinda like child sponsorship, except, with death and burning.

I do agree with superhack on this statement....modern "cultured" diamonds are extremely high quality and less than 1/2 the price


Watch 'Lord of War' and find out what diamonds do to innocents.....
Hell your future wife might even agree with you about this. Plus would you rather that 10k be put against a nice safe house for your kids or for mommies vanity.

Sorry, blood diamonds really hit a nerve with me.

"synthetic" diamonds are so good these days, I believe the natural stones have just as many, if not more, flaws...who knows where the industry will be in 10 years

I think a simple gold ring should be enuf...flighty chicks are really into big rocks and "red boxes" :rolleyes:

no shit..of course natural stones have many flaws....synthetic stones are usually flawless...any synthetic stone will have 100x better clartiy than natural...but then again, who wants man made shit?
