Topic	Is a ring really supposed to be 6 weeks salary?
Anarchy_Juiblex 05/26/23 9:32:12 AM #44:	Heineken14 posted... Sounds like some bullshit made up by people who want to sell you a ring. Yeah this. Though, if rings (all jewelry) were priced more according to their precious metal weight + wholesale gem value, with thinner margins for the "artist" or brand, then it would make more sense. The point of expensive jewelry for plebs is that they can always hock it in an emergency. They (jewelers) shouldn't be absolutely eating your lunch on it in that scenario. Spending 6 weeks of work on it wouldn't be such a problem if you could get 4 weeks worth back. --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man#Steelmanning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity <cite>Anarchy_Juiblex posted [p:973727357] in Is a ring ...
