They Won't Leave in the Night: Diamonds Are ForNEVER!

[Archronos]

Jewelry is junk. Just because I've paid a lot of money for some of it doesn't make it not junk. The fact that something is expensive doesn't make it not junk. The fact that it was found in a pile of dirt doesn't make it not junk.

CVD diamonds are far more perfect than anything that could be found naturally anyway.

And a blowjob is a blowjob. Maybe it make more sense for somebody to channel resources into something that results in individual productivity gains rather than supporting a wife.

Yes.

But you are buying a fake of the real thing,and i know this is not the forum for that discussion i guess,but there is the desire to buy the fake of that 'junk' you are talking about,and while the minority is o.k with trying to pull off fakes,the majority won't settle for less than the real deal,of course.

Right?.

[Posh]

O.k?. You can do better than that.

Don't buy diamonds for your wife,buy fake ones.

So if everyone did that,what would be the appeal?.

Why buy a Benz when a bus pass does the same thing,and is more eco-friendly.

I'm not one of those people who equates a genuine bag or genuine watch or genuine ring with a stone in it to love or respect or caring. And I suspect that many other people, men and women, feel the same way I do. I don't look at buying a replica watch, bag, simulant or cultured gemstone as buying something of low quality. Many of these items are as good and made the same way (sometimes in the same place) as the original I look at it like you saved all this money, money that could be put in savings, used for a trip somewhere in the world at moment's notice or even given to charity so someone somwhere can have sandwich. I know very well that some of the replica bags I carry and the few replica watches I own look just like the real thing and will pass in 99% of the situations I'm in in my life. And I don't run in circles where repping is okay by any means. Just buy selectively and carefully, just like you would with anything else.

And I drive Mercedes. Trust me, there's nothing to it. Somebody can buy the same car with the same mileage for the price of a new Ford Taurus and look like they paid retail, just like me.

I value financial independence and frugality. That doesn't mean I live in ascetism or buy off brand at grocery store. Since I work in the luxury goods industry and analyze this stuff on a daily basis, I see it all for what it really is: overpriced junk. Well, maybe not junk, but definitely crap.

But I carry all this stuff with pride and my man can give me this stuff without fear of disrespecting me. He knows who I am. I would rather have a vacation house in Hilton Head than a 4 carat diamond ring in a five story walk-up in Park Slope.
