Anyone looking for an engagement ring, check out the rings by FANA. My granddaughter received hers a few weeks ago. The ring is a work of art in detail. 1.23 ct center stone and small stones along the sides of the ring. FANA even mounts a tiny blue sapphire inside the band and calls it, “something blue”. Not run of the mill beautiful, seriously!!!

Obligatory:
Have you ever tried to sell a diamond?


IMO it's trashy to buy one in the first place, and one of the greatest marketing heists ever.

Having said that, I've bought two. 1.5 carat in the mid 90s for about 5k. That bitch left and I replaced her with a 1 carat for around the same amount.

I thought I lost my wedding ring a while back--an 800 dollar platinum job. I replaced it with a 9 dollar tungsten carbide ring from Amazon that's more durable, attractive and comfortable. I found the platinum ring--but still wear the cheapie from Amazon.

We spend our money on the dumbest shite.

If I get married again, it won't be a $40-60k ring. They can literally and figuratively suck my dick.

My grandma left me a .75 carat diamond. The setting my wife liked was really pretty modest, so all-in-all, I think I paid about $750. That was about 10 years ago.

Don't remember the exact carat, but it was just under 1.5. Seems it was much cheaper right under the major hurdels (1, 1.5, 2). 12k with the platinum setting.

Great but who walks around with a 1.4 million dollar ring on ones finger?
