I'm back to watches, cuz I'm not like good old davey, no bling for this guy. lol.
Love the lively discussion here!

Cogo, I appreciate what you're trying to point out and I respect your defense of the diamond industry but I DON'T TRUST the people involved behind-the-scenes in the industry. When I look back further than even just recently, like over 100 hundred years ago and study what they did to other human beings for ROCKS, they will NEVER have my respect, my trust or my money in the forseeable future.

Your statement is a bit inaccurate. I urge everyone to read in TOTALITY what I write and don't skim as things like this get put out there and they aren't completely "focused" on my actual thoughts and feelings.

I stated right away that I don't think a ROCK defines how much I am loved. Which kinda IMPLIES that my man doesn't have to spend 18 months of his salary on an engagement ring for me.

Hell, he may not even have to buy me an engagement ring. He could be creative and get me Kicthen Aid stand mixer as I think that's not too bad a token of love. As long as he gets me the ice cream and pasta attachment sets with it. How can you not marry a man who spends upwards of $1,000 on a mixer for you?
