..if you bought her a very good diamond engagement ring replica, like a good cubic zirconia or something? Or if you have no significant other, would you ever entertain the thought of buying a very good fake?

She doesn't even wear jewelry, so I don't think she'd care.

If you buy a fake ring to save money then what kind of message is that sending to her

She would not be pleased, and she has never gotten mad at me. Pretty sure that would be the first time.

Gf wouldn't care. In fact, she'd prefer it and agrees it's silly to spend a ridiculous amount on the ring and would prefer the money go for the honeymoon trip instead.

It's saying "I don't have very much money but I wanted to give you something nice anyway".

Only the vain and selfish would really care if a diamond is real or not.

I'd rather just buy something with a small real diamond instead of big fake ones

This is my wife's preference as well. Real beats fake. Just downsize on the stone.

You can get a real diamond but created in a laboratory to get it more cheap. It doesn't have much resell value though.

There's a reason diamond places kick you out if you try taking pictures of the diamonds

Those things aren't actually worth nearly that much and they don't want you to know it

Yeah, not to mention the way places are trying to make a market for really poor quality chocolate diamonds

Honestly probably wouldnt be buying a diamond in the first place. Dont want to support that industry.

Plus there are so many precious stones that come in amazing colors for a fraction of the price that a diamond costs. Would rather do something cool like that.

$200-$600 for a ring with a single very small stone. It scales pretty linearly on size at that price point.

Yeah. We want the ring for symbolism, but it'll be one of those black bands prob.

We have relatively cheap rings. I really like mine and she likes hers. We chose our own rings.

I bought a diamond engagement ring for like 900. Three stones that added up to a karat.

I imagine she threw it away

This, and we already had a talk about this and would rather spend big on travel locations then a stupid over priced ring.

I would say either get a real, but incredibly small diamond, or go in a different direction entirely. Like a raw fire opal or something. Whatever you do, be genuine.

Because its an artificial market. Diamonds arent as rare as people think. The price mark up is staggering. Not to mention all the scummy shit the companies themselves have done.

Thats the short version. Not trying to start anything.
