And cubic zirconium gets the job done just the same at a fraction of the cost.
Not when you consider the cost of the divorce when she finds out you lied.
I really think the divorce rate would go down tremendously if people would just discuss things before acting, especially in regards to their children, and make sure they are a united front.
Not to mention cheating on them. That usually pisses your spouse off.Quote:

A ring given at a time like Valentines' Day, Christmas, Birthday, is viewed as a gift and can be kept even if there is a split, even if there is talk of engagement at that time.
Two of my daughters guy friends have lost in court in trying to get back engagement rings. One was presented at a birthday, the other for Christmas. Judge ruled for the girls both times, because they could technically be viewed as 'gifts'.
The manpons are in isle 6, next to the manziers.
Geez Partial - you're bringing this thread out of the old cellar? You must be getting bored.
Yeah i've got nothing going on and my buddy Joel is buying his lady a ring sometime this week, so I figured i'd see what this thread said.
Have your buddy get the cubic zirconium ring, then have them watch "Blood Diamond". It'll help with the mood. :twisted:
I have to agree with this one. Better yet, get out of the country and you will get great prices on precious stones. It seems that only in America is this stuff expensive. Jewelry is one of the biggest rip offs there is. I bought my wife a sterling silver ring with a 1.5 ct tanzenite, .75 ct of diamonds and opal in it for less than $100. All of it is authentic, I had it checked. The reason it was so cheap? First, the sterling silver setting. Second, I didn't buy it here! The was appraised at $1500 by the jewelers here.Quote:

I agree. Even after that Kimberly Process was passed, I have no doubt that wars and stuff are still being funded by diamonds.Quote:

There will also be a mini session on how to turn your testicles into diamonds for those who insist on sacrifcing themselves, I mean getting married. :lol:
Sounds interesting, Madtown.Quote:
