Ten reasons why you should never accept a diamond ring
If I ever end up getting a ring with precious or semi-precious stones, it will NOT have diamonds unless they've been in the family. I knew about a lot but not all of these ten reasons not to get sucked into the international diamond price-fixing-for-a-hunk-of-carbon monopoly.
You've probably never been subjected to my sarcastic impromptu sing-along to the old deBeers diamond TV ads (da-duh-da-duh becomes O-help-us-preserve-our-priiiices...). My husband has, for years, and today he sent me the ten reasons link, LOL.
If I ever get a ring with stones, it'll have tiny rubies, emeralds, and sapphires in a channel all the way around. Inexpensive and I love it.
Please don't be offended about your engagement ring. I still like to look. Cut precious stones are still amazing objects.

I have to admit I was quite relieved that the ring D. gave me was from his family. I despise the engagement ring industry and the idea that you have to spend 3 months' salary on a ring.
To be fair, after we got engaged, I did go through that whole phase of holding my hand so you couldn't avoid seeing my ring at every available opportunity. Tee hee.
