Designed your own ring? That’s just bizarre to me. Isn’t that your boyfriend’s job?

Is it really even a diamond if there's no blood on it?

They probably followed it up with discussions on how to pull off a jumbotron proposal.

If you ask to ask your group of guy friends how much to spend on a ring - you aren't ready to be proposing. And if said group of guy friends don't immediately call you every derogatory name in the book then they aren't real friends.

You have other options besides a diamond. You can get a white sapphire or a white zircon (not CZ) for a fraction of the cost. And they are beautiful.

Go to the Pricescope message boards & read a ton. They are experts at getting the best quality for your money.

My gut feeling is that lab diamonds are overpriced. Even if they’re structurally identical to diamonds, they will only get cheaper as the Chinese start making them. I wouldn’t be willing to pay 70% the price of a natural diamond. At all.

diamonds are for suckers

paid $2k for my wife's ring and it was a custom rose gold one-off i picked up from penny preville's HQ in NYC because they were still working on it when we got to NYC and she freaking loves it.

no $20k solitaire that is just going to get lost for this guy.

Lab Made Diamonds

CZ?



No, lab made diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They are made of the same materials as geological diamonds but they are made in a highly pressurized and high temperature controlled environment. They’re made quicker and they have no humans mining them so they’re cheaper. I got my fiancé a one carat lab made diamond for substantially cheaper than the mined diamond would be.

Yeah but no one even died in the process of acquiring the diamond, so it's not really a sacrifice.

Three months salary for people who are in love and will stay married forever with God at the helm.

One month salary or less for people who only get married because society tells them to and divorce is an open option.

Etiquette has changed

Why wouldn’t I want the ring I’m going to wear every day for the rest of my life to be my favorite ring ever?

Do not buy a lab created fake diamond, buy her the real deal.

It’s the guy’s expression of never ending love for you, how has that changed?

100% guarantee that I did a better job than my wife would have picking out the ring. She’s worn it every day for 18+ years.
