[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t be jealous. In fact, I’d be the opposite. To me, spending a lot of money on jewelry is just stupid- no matter how rich you are. Give me real estate or a nice car or fabulous travel. Jewelry? No.[/quote] Well, real estate is joint property and cars depreciate. The idea is that the jewelry retains its value and it’s always yours. [/quote] NP. A few thoughts here. 1. My assumption is that if DH-to-be can afford a 4ct, it’s nice and he is well aware of making all of the Cs come together nicely. 2. He can probably also afford the real estate, cars (depreciate quickly) and fabulous travel (intrinsic value) too. 3. Diamonds have such a high markup cost, nearly 50% or more for each use of resale, and are recycled through a consumer driven market based largely on sentiment. The resale value of a diamond ring (in comparison to an ivory brooch, for example), dramatically reduces in a sellers market. [/quote]
