[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you having a midlife crisis? B/c usually it's only young suckers that buy into the diamond is forever spiels put out by the cartel. You realize diamonds are effectively worthless; there is no secondary market except pawn shops? You are taking thousands of your family's money and throwing it away, and you are old enough to know better, unlike the lovestruck yoing adults who buy into some fantasy. Are you so wealthy that 10k is nothing to you? Like making millions per year? I suspect not so this whole affair confuses me. This smells like some major midlife mojo; to be a young bride again...[/quote] Are you a man or a woman? Married? If woman and married, do you have an engagement ring? Just curious... By the way, I am fully aware that diamonds (and luxury cars, and boats, and designer handbags, and lots of pricey things that people want) have little to no investment value. Heck, the chocolate pie I bought for dessert the other day had little to no nutritional value! That's why I am looking for people's opinions on this board. If I wanted to open up a college fund for my kids, I wouldn't be so torn about it. It would be done. At least you don't eat diamond rings and they don't go straight to your thighs after paying all that money. I can give it to my DD years later when she is older.[/quote] I noticed people that say diamonds are over rated are usually those without diamonds or can't afford for a nice one and just talk down to make them feel better. My ring is simple (just a single princess cut) n not too expensive but let me tell you the beauty of it when your under the sun or the light it just lits up and you can just stare at it...beautiful... I was at the store the other night and the cashier made a comment about how beautiful my ring was and it took me a second to realize she was talking about my ring. I guess it lights up so well n caught her eyes. [/quote]
