If you want to see how materialistic your girl is, ask her if she'd go for a ring with moissanite stones.

Moissanite is almost as hard as diamond, actually shines brighter than diamond, and even tests as a diamond unless you use a more expensive tester that only jewelers use. It's lab made and costs a fraction of what diamonds cost. If you get a nice enough set no one would know.

I knew I had a good one when she schooled me on moissanite. I spent less than $500 on a set that would have easily cost $10K if it were diamond. :blessed:

If she turns up her nose at it :camby:
Where y’all getting moissanite from where it’s a fraction of the price? :jbhmm:

They be trying to charge a grip and some shops online actually price them higher than real diamonds :dwillhuh:

I agree. Some couples get so caught up in the actual wedding that they forget about the marriage on top of that you could spend that money on a down payment for a house or even taking care of debts or buying a more reliable vehicle. Marriage has so many moving parts. That's why I love my wife because she's practical like me. We are not rich but we live well if that makes any sense. We modeled our relationship after my grandparents. They lived modestly but they were never in debt my grandfather's only vice was treating himself to his big body American cars over the years. My grandmother was a housekeeper and it was insane some of the things white people gave away.

I never got the point of having an superexpensive ring. I won't get nothing from a crackerjack box, but unless you royalty or famous I don't get spending $20k+ on a ring. shyt makes you a mark. I like the month salary rule.

Didn’t have a wedding straight to the courthouse. I spent 10k on the engagement ring and band
I’m doing the same thing. The engagement ring cost $7k, the wedding ring cost $900 and my wedding ring is $600.

This statistic is more correlation than causation.

Buying your women a cheaper ring or a more expensive ring isn't going to cause your marriage to end prematurely or last longer than it would have otherwise.

This is like those bs NBA stats, Luka Doncic is the highest scoring player on the the third tuesday on each month. Doesn't mean you have to gameplan differently on the third tuesday, Its literally just a coincidence.

I dont think anybody drew this conclusion

Most people have stated and shows that it illustrates evidence of how much the relationship was never about anything material.

Everyone knows it's more of a positive indicator of the quality of the relationship

Find jewelers on Etsy that make custom pieces. Much better than Jared or Kay Jewelers. Even if you spend a couple racks you can get something that would cost 10x more at a brand name jeweler.

Just make sure to check their product pics to verify you can't find the same ring on Temu or Alibaba.

I mean it makes sense.

Chicks insisting on or give the impression wanting expensive things such as a ring, lavish wedding, they not wifey material.

Moissaniteco sells them reasonably priced.

I get all my solitaire earrings off there.

I’d get a ring too. The stones are high quality.
