I'm gonna tell my girlfriend: It's all a marketing stunt!

Diamonds aren't even rare. the company has a fucking monopoly of the diamond mining business.

My husband actually found my engagement ring. Before we ever met he use to do a newspaper route. One day he found a 10k diamond ring with a silver band. He kept it for when he finds the right girl. (So he says lol ) he said when he met me he knew right away the ring was for me. Right now my mother has it in texas for safe keeping.

I don't like diamonds. I like opals or emeralds.

It is supposed to be one month's salary- any less and he's cheap; any more and he's too flash.

Someone's been watching "Adam Ruins Everything".

3 months wages would be $10,000 + Sorry buts that's way too much money for a ring. I make about 55,000 a year. 3 months wages is way too much and I havent heard the 3 month "rule" since the 80's. Plus 3 months is 1/4 of a years wage. Like wtf! And I'm a girl!

Also, it was in the 40s and 50s when the razor companies needed more money and decided to scheme to make woman think they needed to shave their legs. You're still falling for that scheme now. Cheap ring plus hairy woman of you're going to go back in time with your rules.

The cost of a ring should never be made to be a sign of someone's devotion. 3 mos. salary; I would rather go to Europe for a month.

True, but leg shaving was also not common before the 1920's ...So no you don't need to buy me a diamond, but by that standard, I don't to to shave my legs, underarms or anything else...just saying

to be completely honest, the regular, diamond-y rings look shitty to me. i mean, have you tried to comb through your hair with that? bet it gets stuck.

Who wants a diamond. Diamonds are common and boring. Give me something with color in an amazing setting. But then again, I don't want to get married so it doesn't really matter.

diamonds are bullshit....sparkly bullshit. There uses in science and medicine are rad though.
