My opinion: This ring was the best investment he could have ever made.The ring I gave as the engagement ring was a 3ct Princess cut diamond set in a 14k white gold ring ...
One day we were over the jewellers home and she asked if she could have a look at my fiances ring using her tools ...
The jeweller quietly took my missus aside and told her that it wasn’t a real diamond and that I’ve been lying to her. Suddenly I’m enemy number one in the house and am very quickly asked to leave while my fiance started off screaming at me for deceiving her ... it might not be a DeBeer’s diamond, but it’s absolutely a real diamond. Instead of throwing away money towards a corrupt corporation and African suffering, I purchased a man made diamond.
The company that mines diamonds themselves can’t tell them apart? Yet somehow, I am a monster that doesn’t love her and got her a fake diamond.
Engagement is off, called off by her a few days after this event and considering how she reacted boy am I glad. I’m pretty cut up about it all naturally but I feel like I’ve dodged a bullet. I guess the question that I really have here is should I have specifically made a point of telling her it was a man made diamond? Frankly, to me, if it’s a diamond it’s a diamond and letting her know never even entered my sub conciousness. If she had asked where it came from I would have told her… I guess it’s just something I’m really puzzled about and want to know what I should do next time I intend to propose (if such a day ever comes again).
