I really REALLY want one of those. If it ever comes down to $300 I'm in. But we gotta get the economy of scale built up first, so why haven't the rest of you bought Wooz one yet?

^^^ I would surely take some nice diamonds if someone wanted to give them to me, BUT if you want to spend a couple thousand dollars on me, buy me a really nice camera . . . or get me one of those cabins at Rothbury.
is it the diamond as a "thing"? or is it more the thought and $$$ that goes into buying one?
it has nothing to do with money for me. i just think its a beautiful stone. unfortunately the price of one is about 3 times what the actual cost of making it is.
not to mention the people who may have died to get the stone

i agree on the dying people thing... blood diamonds are bad
but the "3 times the price of making one"?? i guess i'm stumped there because they are free... you just dig one up i'm also confounded as to why we humans, with our vast knowledge, still place unmentionable value on a fucking rock - Gold

well, i'm not going to lie and say i wouldn't want a ring...
however, i have no real idea in my head of what i would want it to look like. i figure if a guy loves me enough to want to marry me, he'll know me well enough to pick out the ring.
one of my friends getting married in a couple weeks actually has a sapphire as a center stone, with tiny diamonds around it. its beautiful!

While we're on the subject, how much is a man 'expected' to spend on an engagement ring?
I seriously find that whole process a bit farked....
Someone once explained it as "Well, its so she knows that you're willing to go the extra mile"
Uhh.. how about saving that money to help with a down payment on a house?
Just make sure you include a pix of the house in the box with the ring when you propose....so she'll know what's up! ;D
Seriously....most girls you would WANT to marry feel the same way....but you DO want to make sure you spend money on things JUST for them sometimes...cause EVERYBODY wants to feel like there is SOMEBODY in the world that wants to pamper them sometimes you know? ;D Big Honkin Diamonds don't have to be it tho!

well, yes and no
a raw diamond doesn't shine like the one on a woman's hand. it takes very precise cuts to make them that way. its still marked up 3 times what it costs to make it pretty and shiny.
and the labor that goes into it is nothing compared to the lives it may have cost to get it to the nearest jewelry store. and unfortunately, even diamonds that are certified "conflict-free" can't really be proven to be so.

The only good diamond I ever had was my engagement ring. It was GORGEOUS and part of the appeal is that it would last forever like my marriage... I don't have either any more

... I miss the diamond
I am shocked, SHOCKED!, to hear that Aly would be fond of something that sparkles.
