| re: Girls... would you rather have a real diamond or a real man made diamond? The newer thing is to have the wedding ring an engagement ring be fitted together... another way for jewelry folks to make money. It's a rock, like gold is a rock. Gold is worth money and so are diamonds cause the world says they are... but they are really just a rock... Reply • Back to Top |

I'm having my rings soldered together(pretty common now)...doesn't cost me a penny to do so, jewelry store does it for free Reply • Back to Top |

| I'm super glad I didn't spend more than I did on that ring now. Too much as it is. And she Had the audacity to say something about giving it to our daughter. That wasn't nice This post was edited on 12/31 at 4:15 am Reply • Back to Top |

Posted by fightin tigers on 12/31 at 4:14 am to lsunurse I'm already being hit up for the matching wedding band on the front side of the ring.  she said it would make a good graduation present in 18 months.Reply • Back to Top |
| I'm waiting to have mine done until right before my honeymoon in March. That way I can drop them off and they will be in their safe while I'm on my honeymoon. I'll get them redipped and cleaned as well. Reply • Back to Top |

| And to think she had the gall to mention me getting her a bigger diamond when we found out we were having a boy. And I would have gotten it for her too. Wow, this thread made me bitter. Reply • Back to Top |
Solid plan. Congrats on the nuptials by the way. Where are you planning on honeymooning?  Reply • Back to Top |

| The band was one of the ones that wraps around the engagement diamond with all the little pavets and such and they solder them together. It was really pretty. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Some guys spend a couple grand on a ring that'll last (hopefully) several decades and that some women consider a show of love? There are some people who say you can't put a value on that. My point is that you calling it "just a rock" is as silly as me calling football "just a game". This post was edited on 12/31 at 4:28 am Reply • Back to Top |
