What shape, lab/natural and how many carats was it? Was it worth it? TC: 220k
We opted out of that recently made up tradition so $0. Totally worth it.
Don’t be sure that it worths it for your wife.
Sounds like his wife is not in the relationship for a compressed piece of carbon
forever maintaining a roster rotation
No diamonds at all. Good women do not waste family resources on shiny glass.
4k, 1carat
I’m am the SO, and I love my ring. $1500. .71ct. Solitaire on a plain platinum band. No other diamonds. I wear a 4.5 ring size, so anything larger looks silly. My wedding ring is a matching plain platinum band.
4.5 ring size sounds so smaller than my 10.5 ring size.
where did you find this size? My wife wears 5 and I can't find any store work 4.5 or 5 size
$1250 for a very elegant small sapphire. Forgot the TCW of the main stone. That was enough. Then on an anniversary later upgraded to a 2.5CT main stone natural diamond, IF and G color for around $40k. TC: 205
1.25ct moissanite for 1200. Diamonds are a scam
1200 for a 1.25ct moissanite is also a scam 🤣
Moisannite all the way. No one can tell you don’t have $30k ring.
No diamonds. Only gold Diamonds are artificially inflated
Bought my spouse cz + 22k gold 2 ring set (2 thick blinged up rings, about 1/4" wide) and a pile of gold jewelry - about $2500 at the time. Rings were $500. Everything doubled in value. More than anyone can say for a worthless diamond ring. Now have about $75k of gold/platinum.. that's worth.. $75k by weight. Diamonds are stupid
Yeah the tradition in almost all other countries is to buy gold for weddings which serves as a decent long-term investment. Somehow diamond companies tricked mostly American women via ingenious marketing into getting their partners to spend ridiculous amounts on money to buy one of the most common elements on earth, which can be easily manufactured in labs and sold for 1000x the cost and has terrible resale value.
Built and sold an online diamond ring business here. It's funny how people flex at how much they spent on it, when you know the markups. For any true diamond dealer, a diamond is nothing else than a tiny stone that we can sell with 1000%+ markup. I got my wife a perfect Peridot with a tiny black inclusion that matches her eye colour and a her black dot inclusion in her retina in a custom round cut. Approx 200 for the stone, 100 for the cut, and 600 for the setting and 2g of white gold for the ring. Edit: She absolutely loves it, also, because it's a one of a kind.
$30k. 2.5ct round. Worth!! My wife loves it. for context was upgrade, I got her a cheap $500 ring when we first got engaged/ and was broke, pretty fresh out of school. upgraded ~6 years later when had moneys and could do actual wedding ceremonies with broader family
