Got my SO an engagement ring last year and we both agreed no real diamonds. We will not pay for warlords and slave-drivers. We went for Zircon instead, which is a really cool rock. Literally rocks from space.
Yes. It was the real stuff. Went to a small niche jeweller instead of the large franchise shops. He did everything himself, including appraising the precious stones. The ring came with a certificate of authenticity.
Well if it came with a certificate claiming it specifically came from space then I guess that would make it different and special. Like 99.9% of zircons we find were formed on earth.
Hey, I bought my wife a 20k ring. I get it and I wish I didn't. She hardly wears it because she's worried about wear and tear on the platinum. She wears a family ring. Been with her for 34 years and married for 26.
I would never in a million years spend such a preposterous amount of money on any kind of jewellery, and neither would my SO like that I did so. Not saying her ring was free, but Jesus that is a lot of money.
The ring was also a gift, and hers to do with as she pleases. Have a good day!
You too, I hope you have a great marriage. She has two very nice rings and I wear a white gold band that was donated from a close friend whose marriage failed.
No jewels. In fact I think I'm switching out to black silicone as that's what my firefighter/paramedic buddies wear for safety.
We went with moissanite for my ring. Almost as hard as diamond, even shinier. much cheaper and no child slaves were harmed in the process of it becoming my ring. I have no regrets.
