ive done quite a bit of research on it, and its passed pretty much every test, its literally just pressured carbon at the end of the day. we have the tech to recreate diamonds at a fraction of the cost, without the blood. more folks should look into it.

oh and fukk giving du bois and israeli cutters money. :camby:

True, it's worth it to watch what you purchase when it comes to unethical business practices in Africa, but I personally don't see an issue with Israel.

I see more and more people wearing tungsten rings. I notice the more elaborate/expensive the ring and wedding the shorter the marriage. Majority of elaborate weddings/rings I been to or saw marriages have ended quickly.

I wouldn’t recommend spending a lot on a ring. It’s such a big hustle.

There's way too much emphasis on wedding rings (mainly because is supports the industry, but women are too concerned with flexing on each other to care)...I'd rather buy a decent and affordable ring and then upgrade it as the marriage moves on.

It's illogical to break the bank for such an investment and you're not even married yet. You could call off the wedding (and now you gotta worry about getting it back from her...and if it's nice you know she's going to want to keep it, it's valuable) or divorce within the first few years.

It's interesting how this is still such a major tradition because there's no benefit for half the dating population.

The trick is to kick game early in the relationship (I'm talking after the second time you hit) about how you don't fukk with diamonds for ethical reasons and how it has no intrinsic value. Without even talking about rings, you just constantly shyt on diamonds whenever you can.

If you are already years deep and still haven't done that ground work, i suggest you throw her in the bushes and start fresh :ld:

There is a such thing as too much unless you can verify Jewelry holds or appreciates in value. People think the more money you spend, the better, but that's not the case. At some point you just paying for dumb clout. If your $100k ring is worthless in 5 years, yeah that's too much.

But even then, if we're talking the average joe, most can't afford jewelry that will gain value. I'd say anything over $10k is too much.

I think it just matters if he likes it or not. If he’s spending 100k the cost isn’t the issue. It means something to him.

Buy her a copy of The Diamond Invention instead and spend the money on something real.




Think you can get away without buying a diamond ring brehs!
:russ:
Think that your woman will just say "oh, ok. I no longer want what I've wanted my whole life because my man showed me this on YouTube", brehs!

I don’t think you should spend over 3000 unless you are over 30 op. And then it’s just whatever you can work with. If you in your 20s and your pockets straight I say $2500…don’t be stupid spending over 3000 and end up looking like a fool if it don’t work out. That $500 make a difference my nikka lol. Take the $2000 or $2500 hit or less if that’s all you working with…Nothing wrong if you don’t have that… A lady at Jared actually told me this which is funny as fukk because they shyt definitely way more expensive, so she sent my 23 year old ass to Zales lol. She said the first digit shouldn’t exceed the number of your age until you turn 30… unless you really just got it like that to where you losing it ain’t gonna make you lose no sleep. Luckily I’m still married. Spent $2700. By now if things went wrong I wouldn’t be thinking about the money I lost from the ring obviously. That’s a short term thing right after a marriage and immediate divorce. And yea other marriage ring is honestly whatever you can afford. I forgot how much I spent on that

my girl would bytch slap me if I spent more than 5k on a WEDDING ring. Not an engagement ring, but what she'll be wearing for the rest of her married life

there is definitely such a thing as too much

:picard: I would never hit my man, especially not for doing something he thought was a loving gesture. The amount is different to different people. For your girl $5k it’s too much for me it isn’t. I would spend 5k on my man without hesitation.
