The company announced today that it will start selling man-made diamond jewelry at a fraction of the price of mined gems, marking a historic shift for the world’s biggest diamond miner, which vowed for years that it wouldn’t sell stones created in laboratories.

NOTE: I consider an inexpensive diamond ring to not be a downpayment of much import.

my opinion: It never was about the carbon; it was about the sh!t test of all sh!t tests for the man to prove himself worthy of entering the love canal.

Funny story. When me and my now ex-wife went ring shopping, she showed me what she likes and how much it cost. I said, in front of the jeweler, you have the wrong dude if you think I am going to spend 15k for a ring. She didn't say the amount, just what she likes. The jeweler then chimed in, well, if you really love her, you'd spend 3 months salary on the woman you'll have for the rest of your life. I said, to myself.. Hmm, two depreciating assets... I offer the dude, hey, are you looking for an attractive 5' 4 blonde hair/ blue eyed woman? One may be available very soon. ;') He just smiled, my ex-wife just smirked and rolled her eyes. She told me her 1st husband spent 18k on a ring for her (which she still has and hasn't sold, that I know of). I said, perhaps you can go back with him if carbon is so important to you.. At the end, I gave in and purchased the same design of a ring off of eBay because I am a good guy. It set me back 1800.00. What's funny is she got me this big thick platinum ring for me as a wedding ring. She said she spent 3k for it. I do not wear jewelry aside from a gold chain under my shirt. I added it to the chain and cross, she said men only do that to their wives who've passed on. I said to myself, wishful thinking.

lol.

Except that happened long before any diamond was bought. Except maybe with you who apparently only gets laid after buying diamonds for women...

Hows that working out for you?

Diamonds r brittle and it shatters like glass when enough force is applied - don't really understand why guys even fall for buying women diamonds.

Tried to sell off a diamond ring I got from an ex, couldn't, ended up giving it away.

Gold on the other hand has more value.

Should had sold it online. I sold my ring for scrap to Midwest Refineries. Received the value of the platinum melted down. It wasn't much, but better than giving it away or throwing it away.
