Yuck! Diamonds!

So I'm not saying there's anything wrong with you if you love diamonds, or that if you love diamonds and your husband/sweetie/lover/life-partner loves giving them you shouldn't do it.

It's all about context, isn't it? :)

I agree with you about the diamonds, incidentally. Lucky me, since I've never been flush enough to keep up with a jewelry habit, but my wife doesn't really care for diamonds or gold. She prefers silver and amethyst. :)

It's good when things work out like that--you're with someone who isn't addicted to expensive jewelry.

Yes, context matters a lot. I'd think even something very expensive and impressive in the wrong context would be unwelcome.

I never got the whole thing with diamonds either. Someone could get their significant other the biggest diamond in the world but it doesn't mean they really love them. It's the little nice things that you do for others throughout the year that represent love, in my opinion, and most of them don't cost much, if anything, at all :)

True! What does it matter how much jewelry you have if you're with someone who isn't considerate and loving!

I'm with you - diamonds aren't great. They're probably my least favourite precious or semi-precious stone - I'd much rather have an opal or a tiger eye or something, probably waaay cheaper. Heck, I don't even have a wedding ring, lol.

Yes, I agree, something colorful, with some fire to it!

I don't have a wedding ring either! :)

Is that you in the display pic? You're beautiful insideout. :)

p.s dating immature guys is such a spoiler upon revelation.

Thanks, yeah, that's me, with Sean.

We probably all have to date immature guys at some point. If we never did, then we wouldn't be able to recognize mature when we saw it!

I know everyone's into 'diamonds are a girls best friend' and all that. But they're not lol! I'm really not fussed about diamonds. To be honest, if its from a guy I don't care what I get, they don't have to get me anything! If its like an engagement ring or anything then I don't care what it looks like as long as it will last and fits me.
I'm much more into Rubys and stones like that, anything really, but diamonds aren't THAT great lol!
