Oh she'll get drilled for a bit, that's for sure
Instead, I will spend 10k on the equipment to make my own
"But diamonds are forever!" No they're not, in fact, they're actually flammable. *

There are a lot of cool minerals out there that don't make you go bankrupt if you purchase them.
looks sadly at his angle grinder blade for concrete
My wife's ring: Rose gold with moonstone inlays
My ring: Black ceramic with dyed dinosaur bone
Gold/diamond is so fucking old school boring, you know?
Sure, neither of us can ever resize our rings, but I have a dino bone ring so like, whatever
What dinosaur
Great question, I can't ever remember because my wife got it for me and I never saw the actual information about the thing, I could probably ask her to find the original blacksmiths shop and get the info
I think it's one of the b ones, it's a super common fossil to find in Wyoming or whatever state is known for shit tons of fossils everywhere, I'm very high rn and can't remember shit
You could convincing her well if enough gold carat. Plenty of ways to waste your money on materialism or invest into your family finance futur (depending how you see it.)
In case anyone needs to hear it: big red flag for lots of reasons. Don’t put yourself through a relationship like that. Find someone who wants you for you.
Don’t marry women too materialistic to accept this, loving diamonds is a big red flag imo
Meh, I wouldn't say that, but loving diamonds after learning how that market works and the bullshit around it? Definitely an orange flag
Eh, I'm not sure I would say that. Someone can love/appr ciate and want something even knowing that procuring the thing has ethical problems. Desiring something isn't the same as being okay with the problems that come with acquiring it. It's the being okay with procuring a diamond despite the ethical problems and bullshit that would be a massive red flag to me.
For myself, I'd be having serious second thoughts about a relationship with a person who felt an expensive ring was somehow necessary. But merely wanting it, particularly if out of a sense of tradition or symbolism rather than as some silly signal of wealth, wouldn't perturb me.
All this comment chain is telling me that everyone in this chain above me has a woman they want to redeem for her love of something questionable, lol. Your morals are soft cuz she gets you hard :p
I feel like we were saying the opposite? I am not in any sort of relationship presently.
There are synthetic diamonds, also used as jewelry.
Can't I just punch myself in the face to demonstrate my love and call it a proposal instead?
Use that money to improve the honeymoon instead of an artificially expensive rock?
No, because the wealth and status on display is exactly the point for some women. Especially with social media it becomes a competition to get the most. It's honestly not that far from how some men really like to show off their expensive car as a sign of success.
