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]

I think that those of us with less money, have a different sense of what $10K is.  I think diamonds are beautiful.  I can understand that people treasure them.  But for me, in my world, $10K is a car, it's more than I paid for every piece of furniture in my home.  It's likely to be our EFC for a year of college.  It's family vacations for 5 consecutive years.  It's a year of once a week therapy for my son.

I can't imagine valuing something pretty to put on my finger higher than those things.  If I was in a position where I wasn't making choices between those things (e.g. do we stay car free to afford therapy?), then I'd probably feel differently about diamonds. [/quote]
