what is Sup Forums stance on engagement & wedding rings?

I've seen that you guys always say that one must avoid buying diamonds, but what's the general and proper consensus?

>dropping a knee for some roastie who will cuck you with Jamal and take 3/4 of your shit
why

...

I think Sup Forums's opinion is going to be much different than the general public's opinion.

It's nice. If you're sure she'll say yes.

I bought one for my wife for tradition's sake. I let her pick it out. That was the mistake. She wanted to go to some fancy place that does 'ethical diamonds' or whatever. Anyway, the fucking thing cost $8500. I just gritted my teeth and bought the thing. Jesus Christ.

diamonds are only expensive because society tells you they should be. Get cubic zirconium

i'm jamal, so I guess I'm safe

>gritted my teeth and bought the thing
wtf, of course she would do that if you're such a pushover.

Of course diamonds are a waste of money. Their cost is 100% manipulated by Jewish cartels in Israel, Antwerp, asnd New York, and they don't hold their value AT ALL.
That being said, a diamond ring is pretty much a necessity in the US if you want to get married. It's a status symbol, a way women tacitly signal to one another how good of a provider they managed to hook. And it's typically the hottest women who are able to talk their boyfriends into buying the highest carat rocks
>t. jeweler

You got off easy. My ex-wife took the "3 months salary" route. It seemed like a lot at the time, but since then she's taken "16 years salary".

Removee the note and the box you fucking faggot. Did you even have a father around you pussy? Just give her the ring and don't talk endlessly about it. Fuck

I'm pretty conflicted on the whole diamond thing myself. On the one hand, I don't like the idea of giving some jew a bunch of money for something they've made artificially scarce. On the other hand, supporting the diamond industry means more Africans killed in diamond mines. Tough call.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK

Got mine custom made, fused gold and silver, has 1/4ct head and a couple of 1/8th stones around it. Cost me $200 from an apprentice goldsmith. Wife loves it and I didn't break the bank. If she needs something gaudy then you got the wrong girl mate.

>for tradition's sake

That tradition is less than a century old and created entirely by JEWelers.

fuck m8

I have a few high quality diamonds, how much would it cost just to have a gold ring built for them?

Imagine getting on your knees in front of a group of people and giving her an expensive ring you worked your ass off for, and a bunch of other guys already fucked her for free and nutted on her face already. Yikes.

De Beers ad campaign that misled the population to waste money on stupid shit of no practical value.

so can you make custom rings then?
I think that's more "romantic", but im not sure the average grill would like that

$8500 isn't even close to the upper limit on prices. It's possible to get into six figures

enormous bait or pic related

>falling for the diamond jew

Jewelry has JEW right there in the name. What the hell do you think Sup Forums would think about it?

Picked mine out on my lunch break from work, with the drive only had 15 minutes. Bought a single diamond but had it customized to add two extra from a set of earrings my step mother gave me, came out beautifully.

I don’t give a fuck what you heard from the soy boys of this generation, ask her father but a diamond ring and do it proper

Engagement/grad rings are such a Jewish industry it's not even funny

Find a woman that would still marry you even if you bought her a $20 ring and buy her the best one you can afford user.

JESUS CHRIST

I was thinking of spending 2k MAX. But probably half that.

>diamonds are illogical
kek, I thought of that pic when making this thread

why would I ever ask another man permission to do anything in life?

Recycle...I used my wife's grandmother's rings, she was dead and didn't need them anymore

t. hopeless vigin

nice.

good point.

Diamonds are fine. Overpaying for diamonds is not.

>people actually do this shit
what the fuck is wrong with you?

My wife was pretty red pilled in the Jew diamond racket after working in JEWlery sales as a sales manager for a nationwide retailer for about 5 years. She was down with the idea of us just both getting cheap plain white gold wedding bands for each other. Out the door we paid I think lesd than $200 on Amazon for our bands. We cheaped out on all the retarded meme shit like crazy expensive dresses and tuxes, wedding planner, DJ, venue, all that shit. We got married in a beautiful public park ($50 reservation fee for the venue), had a friend marry us, and then we took all the money we saved and had a massive party in our huge backyard grilling out and an open bar with shit tons of booze. We spent a literal micro dick of a fraction of most cuck weddings.

great advice, kinda difficult to put it on practice though

>wedding ring
>wedding
>marriage as an institution

hello, visitor from the 19th century. pull up your breeches, we have self propelled carriages now. oh and please kys.

Enter and establish the sanctity of a bloodline something mutts and mongoloids will never understand

I get his point, it is kind of cucked to ask the father of your girl for permission.

I mean, how is that diferent from being intimidated by chad?

...

It depends on a lot of factors- the type and intricacy of the mountings, what karat of gold, the size of the ring. Ballpark $1-2k, although if you have scrap gold of your own to melt down you can cut your cost significantly. Often people have me use heirloom gold, like old rings from their grandparent, to make it a more sentimental piece

>I mean, how is that diferent from being intimidated by chad?
Because you do it anyway if he says no.

Only acceptable engagaement/wedding ring is your mother or grandmother's Mother's ring as such a ring. If I can find my grandma's I'm gonna set it aside for such a purpose, it's got so many stones it's like an encouragement, like saying "you better push out at least as many babby as she did".
>the fucking thing cost $8500. I just gritted my teeth and bought the thing. Jesus Christ.
Holy shit, what a retard.

That's possible as well, you can get a decent diamond for $1k. Just saying that the costs can get astronomical

>you do it anyways
but then why ask him to begin with?

I'm a quappa and I want to sustain my eurasian bloodline

GPS is a must.

can't think of any female worth $8500. its like 150 escorts.

You're asking for a blessing, not permission.

Couple hundred on three rings and if you want to get fancy buy her a Bitcoin so you’re not shooting your future in the foot. No need to be overly gay about it, you’ll have a church ceremony and a huge party anyway

oh i get you, but isn't that the same?

It's not really asking him for permission, it's more like asking if he's cool with you being the most important man in his daughter's life from now on.

I had a girlfriend that said she wanted a ring to mark our whatever year of being together. I was busy working, so I gave her my card and let her pick one herself. She picked one that costed around 1800 dollars. I went back with the ring, got the money and broke up with her. I saw no future in her after that.

Got married for free and our rings cost under $500 combined brand new. Gold, with diamonds.

Grew up in a antique jewelers shop. Diamonds are a racket. Read the famous essay “have you ever tried to sell a diamond?” By a based kike in the sixties that exposes the whole scheme.

kill yourself. fuck whites. this and a thousand other reasons are why I am moving to Japan and letting my DNA vanish into their gene pool. you fuckers are irredeemable

if you need a prop to maintain the relationship you are living a fiction

Where’s the best place to buy a diamond? Thoughts on colored diamonds?

The reason you ask her father is because you presumably care about her and so you want to make sure that you don't cause a rift in her family.

>Fuck whites
>you fuckers
Nips don't like shitskins.

I won $8500 yesterday at the casino. Where do they have the best escorts? I have fuck all to do anyways.

Colored diamonds are impure. Don't buy diamonds at all, not worth the money.

buyt if he says no you do it anyway, so you try to assert dominance.

I think I understand it now.

>Proposing to a roastie instead of a qt3.14 boi

It’s 2018

i'm white

I should clarify that I'm somewhat wealthy. Maybe that would change people's opinion a little bit? But I got in my financial situation by not spending money idiotically. Getting married, by definition, is spending money idiotically. We burned through thousands on the fucking wedding. I guess I just saw the whole ring thing as another step in the 'spend his money' scheme that was my wedding.

I normally don't spend my money. I buy guns and go on vacations. Maybe I'm just a sucker. I probably am. Whatever. Sorry guys, I let you down.

This. Buy something made of gold. It can always be melted down and sold for its bullion value.

This is one place that India got it right.

>current year
>getting (((married)))

marriage is a scam invented by women.

if you honestly want 3/4ths of your shit just taken away from you because of a piece of paper (marriage contract) then you deserve to be poor.

no pussy in the world is worth more than $10,000. theyre all basically the fucking same.

>yes i saged this spicks obvious slide thread

/thread

I'm a diamond dealer. AMA

>dumps his gf for buying a ring after he told her to and gave her his cc carte blanche
>gambles at casinos
Jesus christ man you a giant douche.

Then why did you not only once disassociate yourself from white people but twice? Either way, move to Japan. No Japanese woman that isn't insane has any interest in beta defeatist weeaboos. Especially if they're shitskins.

I'm not sure anons should be marrying 'average grills'.

I got my wife a gorgeous ethically sourced diamond. She is the envy of every woman.

Don’t let Sup Forums ruin you. There are good women out there.

>letting some shitposter bait you into throwing away your racial heritage
good goy

3/4? It's divided by what each person paid for every object here. We don't divide it 3/4 or 50/50. If the woman/man paid 70% of the house loan, she'd own 70%, it's pretty simple.

Sup Forums i'm gonna tell you the truth.

Marry Muslim. It's the only way.

My wife is muslim and she LITERALLY thinks it's God's will for her to do whatever I say. I'll never have to deal with this cuckery non-sense.

You fucking idiots know nothing about the diamond trade. Shut the fuck up about your articles and whatnot.

My wife has a half carat + 2 smaller (I think .10) on each side.

Looking for one for my girl at the moment.
I want to get her a platinum art deco filigree ring with an emerald. Diamonds are rubbish.

Checked
I'd say if she has a hymen, then she deserves a diamond. If not then you're already risking enough by marrying her. Need to cut your costs somewhere

i don't think my view is that common on this board. people here seem to think whites have redeeming qualities or that they can or should be saved. when i look at whites, i just see a bunch of fucking retards who fall for jewish tricks. at best, you see the tricks but are collectively too stupid to find a way to escape them. whites can't be fixed, they have some sort of weird destructive symbiosis with their parasite. they must therefore be exterminated before they hurt everyone else with their stupidity. i want all whites to perish, but an elite caste of descendants of Japanese hafus should replace them. Japanese are the perfect humans, naturally civilized and peaceful without the pathetic crutch of religion. if we just inject their gene pool with trace amounts of whatever is actually about whites, then we might create a race capable of fighting off the Jew. the best whites should not waste their seed on other whites, they should all move to Japan.

You're an idiot. Colored diamonds may be "impure" aka containing boron or nitrogen but you have no clue of the value of them. Stop talking things you know nothing about.

Jesus Christ, this generation has no hope.
“Abandon all tradition!”

Make good money. Bought a big diamond. Waste of money. Would not do it again if I got a divorce. However, once I bought the big rock, I basically had on-demand blowjobs for a good while afterwards, so there’s that.

Yeah I sell 20 stones a week. I know how to sell diamonds. Stop being a fucking faggot.

Gamles at casinos as in max 2000kr per month, I make 1.2 million per year, so it's not like I use that much. I'm debt free and own 2 houses. By the way, I was a dirt poor carpenter that had just got my summer payment which has 12% of our yearly pay included. She used a huge sum of it on that damn ring. I had bills to pay and she knew it. She was the shitty person by far, and when I was together with her, and I didn't go to the casinos.

no hymen no diamond. but you can still suck on this if you want

you are the definition of a cuck, enjoy the divorce rape

My wife was a virgin when I met her. I knew the night I took her virginity I was going to marry her.

I just got engaged on xmas. What was a fair price to pay for this ring? What would it resell for? And wtf does retail replacement value actually mean?

A 1.17 for 40 grand? Where did you buy this? What cert? Are you an idiot?

More like Carlton from Bel air.

Just watch the movie blood diamond with your girlfriend. Show her how horrible the diamond trade is. Worked with my girlfriend. She doesn't like diamonds anymore and is cool with a fake diamond or synthetic one.

Going to save me a lot of money.
