If someone gave me one I'd take it. I already have a ring with diamond in it and I wouldn't dream of getting rid of it. I don't like jewelry as a rule though and can't really tell the dif between a diamond and a Zirconia.

I do not care, lol.

Child labor? Sorry, many countries use child and forced labor, you better start researching and start altering your purchases. Even at that, so many things are third party sourced, it is very, very difficult to actually track down the origins of every competence.

Yes, they artificially restrict supply to boost prices, they are their to make money, not be a charity.

Not mine or anyone's problem some idiot spends way too much on a diamond. People will spend way too much on many things.

That's what my husband did, and I do enjoy being Canadian and having a Canadian mined diamond.

Why is everything involving a woman/marriage such a rip off? Lol. The thousands spent for the ceremony is an even bigger waste than the diamond ring. Can't believe how much some of those wedding gowns go for, jeez, you only wear the damn thing once and then put it in a trunk or something. Of coarse any article of clothing you buy for a woman costs 10 times more than the stuff I buy at Mills Fleet Farm......they should start selling durable wedding gowns there, made from corinthian leather recycled from old Chrysler Cordoba's for 100 bucks or something.

Valentines Day, it's a rip off
Mothers Day.....what a rip
Wedding Anniversary .... don't spend a dime until you get to the 25th, that should be worth a dinner at Applebee's or something.

Let's not even talk about what happens when a dude gets divorced and gets carved up like a thanksgiving turkey, and starts paying child support (if he's a white guy), if not white and has no money, he's free to knock up every new woman he meets until he dies, with little concern.
