Is $25,000 too much money for an wedding ring? ( Archived) (58)

Found a beautiful 2 carat emerald cut diamond wedding ring the other day..told Earl about it..he then he started to sweat and you wanna know what he said then?? Shelia, I'd rather you tell me you're pregnant Which is not possible anyway Was having some fun just seeing what his reaction would be He knows I would never want anything that expensive, but I'm always telling him "I'm Worth It Anyway" So what's a good guideline for a diamond nowadays. Was married for a long time before and might consider the "plunge" again. Love you Earl Thought I'd find out who else might agree that $25,000, might be a little pricey.

i wouldnt care what price it was, i would want the woman i was going to marry to have somthing that she can show off to everone and its got be special cos its going to be on her finger the rest of her life.

if i had the money id get her a 10 carot diamond

General Assembly adopts resolution on "conflict diamonds"

Crucial issue in fuelling wars because of diamonds

On 1 December 2000, the United Nations General Assembly adopted, unanimously, a resolution on the role of diamonds in fuelling conflict, breaking the link between the illicit transaction of rough diamonds and armed conflict, as a contribution to prevention and settlement of conflicts (A/RES/55/56). In taking up this agenda item, the General Assembly recognized that conflict diamonds are a crucial factor in prolonging brutal wars in parts of Africa, and underscored that legitimate diamonds contribute to prosperity and development elsewhere on the continent. In Angola and Sierra Leone, conflict diamonds continue to fund the rebel groups, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), both of which are acting in contravention of the international community's objectives of restoring peace in the two countries.

Blood Diamonds

Illicit diamonds make fabulous profits for terrorists and corporarations alike. The trade illustrates with the hard clarity of the gem itself that no matter where human rights violations occur, the world ignores them at its peril.

i personally think that that's a silly amount of money to spend on a ring. i don't care how much the ring i wear is, as long as it's given with love and worn with love too. i'm not looking to "show off" to anyone as to the amount of money that was or wasn't spent.
just my opinion

I agree with you tess...personally I don't even care if it is a CZ as long as it is given with the heart. Maybe it's because I'm older, but I don't have to have diamonds and gems...I just want to be loved and respected!

Now if he and I were millionaires, that might be a different story.

well hell yeah, that goes without saying

If my pocket could do that, I would definitely pay the price. She is definitely worth it.

Should hear what her reaction was when hearing the cost of that ring. She handed it back like it was a hot potato

Love you Shelia
