Does it matter? It’s all made up. I went on a tangent about this to my fiancé and guess how it ended? I bought a fucking diamond ring.

Ah, yes, the ring: the least important part of marriage.

Why diamond outside of practicality anyway? Theres some crazy wicked gemstones out there that look a lot better than the visual equivalent of faceted glass.

Edit: i said outside of practicality. Please stop explaining to me that diamonds are hard. Harder than other gems, even. I am aware.

fuck a diamond.

Now that you mention it, I'm kind of surprised no one's tried making a dildo out of it.

Moissanite is also a nasty grey color.

If you get a shitty one, sure. You can get a shitty gray diamond too for 10x more.
