No shit? I may have to look into that.
Most women say they don't care but when it comes down to it, they (mostly) do care because they have friends/family who are going to comment or compare that shit. If you do find one that truly doesn't care or what her friends say, then you already know you have a keeper.Quote:

You can buy under 1 carat diamond for much cheaper, or those with flaws that people don't want. Just don't walk into a retail jeweler, you will get ripped off. You can make a 0.5carat diamond looks alot bigger by choosing the right setting, etc.
www.bluenile.com = win if you are buying diamonds of course
Deal. It might be awhile, though.Quote:

I don't trust any finance manager with my money. There's never an incentive for them if you make money. They get their commish no matter what happens. The problem with investment management is that it's a full time job managing and understanding it.
Yep, platinum. I was looking at Kay's, Zales. Thought about Diamond District. I'm heading to FL next month so I'll look around there and have the gf stay with my family/aunt while I'm out with the cousins. Cheaper tax too.Quote:

And by being negligent in your management, it will cost you money.Quote:

This is exactly the thinking that diamond/jewelry companies prey on.Quote:

But men (who doesn't know anything about diamonds) tend to just want the best stone (understandable), but you are paying way more than you need to. Plus, even most flaws can be hidden with setting or cut.
Now you know why a "flawless" stone (VVS1 or whatever it is) and D color will cost way way way more than any stone with lesser grades.
