Thats why the only diamond swmbo has is a family ring passed to me for the proposal. CZ's look just as shiny.

Once you've bought it then you're on the long slippy slope to even more expense!

Can't put a price on a lifetime of misery

Needs a kickstarter project or similar for "grow your own diamonds". The tech and processes must be well understood by now.

IIRC you can "grow" diamonds suitable for industrial use but they are nowhere near large enough for decorative purposes such as rings.

You can burn someone and compress their ashes in to a diamond -just saying.

Less of the black widow tactics.

An £8k ring? Madness!

[MattH]

Diamond Cut is satisfactory, right?

You can burn diamonds too.

I spent about £500 on a diamond ring for SWMBO about 30 years ago

 

We got married about 28 years ago.

 

I reckon that bl**dy ring has cost me about £250,000 since.

I was once told (by a wise old man) that there is nothing so expensive as a woman that is free for the night!

I was young and didn't listen to him until it was too late :(
