[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Isn't the notion of paying 2-3 months gross salary for an e-ring out there? [/b] There are plenty of educated white collar workers here in DC MSKING $100-250k gross incomes.  Nice platium diamond rings certainly last longer and hold their value (if not rises in value) over a $30k depreciating car!

And $30k rings are not the same as paying a $30k service bill. Yes if someone's net worth is huge they can pay whomevers medical bills (insurance much??) they so wish, and you can always pressure your sister or daughter to pawn her ring, take a second mortgage or cash in her retirement fund for your medical bills. Go ahead, your request.   Giving away or donating $30k is way different than investing in a one-time piece of jewelry.  [/quote]

I'm sure the diamond industry will never let that notion die, so no worries.

To each his/her own. $30K for a ring seems ridiculous to me, but the so do $20,000 watches and people buy those as well.[b] Some people need to be looked at I suppose.[/b] There are many things I'd get $30,000 worth of enjoyment out of. A small inanimate object in't one of them.

But as I said, to each his own.[/quote]

Again, so judgmental. I don't wear jewelry because I need to be looked at. I wear jewelry because I love it. I love the craftsmanship, the sparkle, the color, and the event or time in my life during which I made the purchase.[/quote]
