I mean, I'm thinking about buying one, but.... Not a diamond. The SO doesn't care for them and bluntly, neither of us enjoy the thought of thousands of dollars spent on a ring that serves no purpose other than to advertise that you have an agreement for affection with another person.

I've even been thinking of picking up some side work (and skip has been one that I've considered) to afford it. Though my cost would be significantly less than the debeers version.

Stupid ad all around.

Recomend moissainite. It really is more beautiful than a diamond.

She doesn't even like the diamond look. So anything clear/uncolored is pretty much a non starter for her.

We've discussed it.
