Lab created diamond in an Engagement Ring? Yay or Nay?

**superdoopr** · 07-02-2009, 03:12 AM

How messed up it this? They are flawless diamonds by definition, but they just arent created by earth. They are much less expensive too. So yeah, how messed up would it be to propose knowing that you are offering a fake diamond?

**kthanksbye** · 07-02-2009, 03:16 AM

She wouldn't know and she won't know the difference so it wouldn't matter.

**OverWorked** · 07-02-2009, 03:16 AM

Less 'messed' up than giving a blood diamond.

**JohnLx** · 07-02-2009, 03:18 AM

I don't know why people put so much emphasis on diamonds

if it's beautiful, she won't care unless she's materialistic

**QB_Killa** · 07-02-2009, 03:18 AM

what she doesn't know can't hurt her

For as long as you are married you will bear the guilt of buying her a "fake" diamond.

You will always want to tell her, and you will eventually. A **** storm will ensue.

Is a clear conscience and an averted epic disaster worth the extra $$$?

Save the extra $$ on your boyfriend. He'll appreciate it I think.

a diamond made in a lab is still a diamond but they can make them without flaws. A natural diamond is made in the earth and has flaws. If you were to get a flawless diamond out of the earth it would cost hundred of thousands of dollars or even over a million.

here is a secret brother, diamonds aren't as rare as people make them out to be. Its just De Beer has a monopoly on diamonds and can control supply bumping up the price. De Beer also have a magic marketing department that came up with the whole diamonds are forever hype.

**captainhorseboy** · 07-02-2009, 04:08 AM

less messed up than a corporate monopoly deciding that love is worth 3 months salary

Unfortunately, this

**Ryan_Cunningham** · 07-02-2009, 04:20 AM

There will be hell to pay if she finds out. I'd pony up for the natural diamond if I were you.

**mumrah** · 07-02-2009, 04:20 AM

yeah its called an "artificial scarcity"... That plus a very clever marketing scheme (diamonds are forever, killing the 2nd hand market) leads to ridiculously overpriced diamonds + monopoly

fake diamonds are also more "perfect" than real apparantly

**Whalefood** · 07-02-2009, 04:21 AM

Aren't lab made diamonds made from compressed human ashes?

**Arlecchino** · 07-02-2009, 04:23 AM

Save yourself even more worry and hassle: do not get married.

Haha, I retract my previous statement and align with this.

**SpittfireDA** · 07-02-2009, 04:30 AM

I say go w/ the lab one. Flawless > "real" ... put the $$ you'll save into house/car/open bar at wedding, whatever ...

Are you retarded? Flawless diamonds are everywhere, and any good jeweler has them. They are more expensive than VS/SI/etc, but they certainly exist and certainly don't cost hundreds of thousands of dollars........

**Gator1010** · 07-02-2009, 04:38 AM

fnck it if she cant tell and a jewler cant tell.... save the rest of your $$$ for strippers

They can be. Honestly, they can make diamonds out of anything carbon.

**mophatthedamaja** · 07-02-2009, 05:04 AM

if you're worried about the price of a real diamond

do not get married

It aint "fake".... **** diamond rings anyway. The female species sure has you right where they want you huh?

The only other thing I have to add is

**ute302** · 07-02-2009, 05:10 AM

my mrs is so proud of the ring i got here and always shows it off like most girls do , she isnt materialistic ( i have to force her to buy shoes) it feels good to know that is real .

if it was a fake i feel like a cheat and would feel like im a cheap prick too if you not really serious bout a girl get a fakie but if not get a real one

Listen to this man.

The answer: Buy her the lab-created one. Propose. In the first hour afterwards while she's still bubbly tell her you bought a lab-created one because it was perfect. Say how you went to other jewelry stores and every diamond you looked at under the loop had imperfections and weird $hit in it, but when you saw the lab-created one, it was flawless, like her. She'll love it!

Then add in that you saved a decent amount of money, which will undoubtedly translate into a better funded honeymoon, where she can shop till she drops. Any animosity will be whisked away in the pre-orgasmic response that a bitch will feel while anticipating a shopping trip.

You're welcome!
