or some shit like that. Diamonds are dumb.

What are you, on the hunt again? -

True story. Zale's marketing drove up the price of diamonds is insane

i just watched this movie. i think the price is nuts for what you get. it's more status then anything remarkably pretty. pearls and even mother of pearl are prettier. rubies are ok. emeralds are little fossilized boogers. aquamarines are nice sapphires are bleh....

the movie seriously left me with a stomach ache... n not just from the demi wannabe.

But.. but..

true story. sorry

One day I am gonna end up settling for a Ring Pop.

at the end of the movie it says it is up to consumers to assure the diamond they purchase is "conflict free" i'm thinking that'd be nearly impossible to do.

Get a Canadian Diamond with the polar baear on it, then you know it's conflict free.

Polar Bear Diamonds

sounds good. i smell a cover up.

Us, Canadians wouldn't do that. We're too busy playing hockey.

And drinking beer... don't forget the beer eh!

I thought that was a given. It goes hand-in-hand with Hockey.

i wonder how much babysitting the diamond from mine to market to assure it's canadian and documenting the cutter etc adds to the price eh?

I would hope you would be at par with your shitty dollar, it is the same thing.

Don't worry little sister men of class have always known the truth...

In Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, a Yahoo is a vile and savage creature, filthy and with unpleasant habits, resembling human beings far too closely for the liking of Lemuel Gulliver, who finds the calm and rational society of the Houyhnhnms far preferable. The Yahoos are primitive creatures obsessed with "pretty stones" they find by digging in mud, thus representing the distasteful materialism and ignorant elitism Swift encountered in Britain. Hence the term "Yahoo" has become synonymous with "cretin," "dinosaur," and/or "Neanderthal."

I plan on getting engaged, sometime withing the next year. She wants a big fat diamond. We were looking at rings and you should have seen what she was picking out. I think the cheapest one was 12K.
