this is why my wedding ring was an amethyst. two hundred bucks. and not a freaking stupid-expensive diamond. i like purple better than white anyway.
the hype about diamonds was created in like the 1910s, when the dabeers (sp?) were like "we need to sell diamonds and we need to make them expensive." they decided to charge a lot of money for them and got this marketing plan to make people think diamonds were special, and worth two/three month's salary. why the /fuck/ would you pay 2-3 months salary for a little rock you wear on your hand and risk losing. why. whyyyyy.
a diamond is worth no more than any other rock. which is to say, two hundred bucks. tops.
