John, look into the depreciation value on modern first hand diamond engagement rings vs antique rings or sourcing materials from second hand jewelry and having a ring made from scratch.

Buy wholesale.

Wow, personally i will never get married or buy jewelry, but this is good to know if I ever want to sell worthless rocks.

If the word after a ends in and vowel then you use as😂

@@PVPVPVPVPV689 are you giving grammar an spelling corrections? 😂

​@@PVPVPVPVPV689 atleast he dont look like a discord mor

@@PVPVPVPVPV689 You brought in grammar so I’m here to correct every mistake you made while grammar-correcting someone else. 1. While you are correct in basic concept if I squint, a + a word which begins with a vowel = an, I can’t find an example of this where a has not been replaced with an in the original text :) 2. “an”, not “as”. An is what you use when the word after a starts with a vowel e.g. “an orange. As is what you use to introduce a metaphor, a comparison, an alternative for because or something occurring while another thing is also occurring. E.g Param corrected their grammar as they thought they saw a mistake in the original poster’s text. “As” has many uses but it is *not* an article. 3. “Ends in and vowel” should be “in a vowel” - because and is not the correct word here and vowel doesn’t start with a vowel so an is not the correct word either. 4. It should also not be “ends in a vowel”, because the letter the word after a ends with doesn’t matter, only the letter it begins with. I hope this is a sufficient demonstration that before you start correcting others, you should relearn basic English. 😂

My gf wants me to lol

Legit, my official wedding rings were ring pops. It was a great laugh.

Bro, my dad ACTUALLY did that. It was cherry.

@@caeden5178 Lmao your dad sounds legendary

2 houses? one for you and one for your wife?😂

7 years of marriage came here looking for this comment. Good on ya. I hope you know the value of the relationship you’ve got, it’s worth more than diamonds.

Marriage license in tact though. Ring or not. I know they ain’t invested 36 years without proof of it. 😇

@@lakzefar449 Hey, after 36 years, a 'decent' diamond ring's worth of money can compound interest itself into a decent house's worth of money. 12% annual return on investment (average for the stock market over the last century) over 36 years turns $5k to $300k.

A little over a decade here. no diamond, no worries.

Umm...no. Diamonds are expensive because it takes skill to cut them in a certain way. Not all diamonds are cut the same. Plus, is about purity too, the clear the diamond is, more expensive it is. So we have purity+cut+the metal used for the ring band(gold/platinum)+the uniqueness of the jewellery +brand. The brand may add up more than a third to the price, for example Cartier, which is one of the most prestigious houses out there. So a diamond rings price has nothing to do with anything emotional, and once you try to resell it, its value drops considerably.

​@@tealeafs3824bro was paid by De Beers to say that 💀

@@tealeafs3824 hmmmm, think I’ll get lab grown. thanks De Beers 😅

​@@tealeafs3824 all you said is the reason diamonds arent worth anything Dumb people when they try to act smart by saying the "cut,clarity, blah blah" is actually the reason of it being important rather than stating the fact Diamonds are nothing, worth nothing, will never be anything unless we make it something

@@Commielover69 your ignorance is appalling.

Same. I’m wearing a gold ring with no gemstone and the money is used for literally everything else that matters😂

That’s exactly what my husband did! My ring is .9 of a carat but the highest quality in every other aspect

Context and the spirit of any action matters ⚠️If the spirit behidn getting a ring pop is lousy and nonchalant, then that's a _problem_ . If it something well-meaned and inderstood like an inside joke then not only is there no problem but the person used that ring to create a beautiful memory out of love and consideration to their to-be fiancée❤

Highly agree

I'd rather have land than minerals on my fingers.

@@Mystif_Melody ohhhhhhhh alright

Yeah thats expensive too...16000

Yes also the mony is probably better spend on saving up for things the couple might need.

Yup! I totally agree with that and wouldn't even mind getting something inexpensive like a shell (any Stardew Valley fans here?) or anything symbolic like a card or photo/video of the proposal itself. 😊

i agree with saving money but your engagement or wedding ring should not be silver. it's not because i'm stingy, it's just silver is going dark fast, and you need to take this off really often or not wear it at all. if you want a cheap one, go with sterling steel, but not silver. gold or platinum is best for the rings like these though cus those aren't reactive.

Or how about letting each couple determine what they want? What you feel you "should" do will absolutely be different to the next couple and their budget.

Honesty dude. More rare than a diamond since diamonds aren’t rare.

Lab diamonds is amazing, since they are basically real.

@@Lilitha11 they *are* real

@@Lilitha11 “basically real”

Lab diamonds are absolutely fantastic. Just as high quality as natural diamonds, without the ridiculous markup in price.

Yes, but they're not that cheap.

Amazing and appreciatable!

Buy her one now

For an anniversary

@@user-rc1ph3ft2s not everyone wants that. Personally I do too but they clearly don't lol

@@user-rc1ph3ft2s Plans are in the works for that but we are not going to use diamonds. I bought her a black opel when I was in Australia decades ago and will get a custom made ring made out of platinum (and palladium) that I have acquired over the years. We already have the jewelry maker lined up.

Good point but they are discussing engagement rings, not weddings

Yep, I only went with a 1/4 carat because it's a really neat band with smaller stones and this way it doesn't overwhelm my small hands. It's been years and I still love it just as much as the day I got it.

I LIKE YOUR STYLE

I’d take a sword over a ring any day.

Oh, um, I'd also recommend moving to Texas or Alaska depending on your weather preferences. No one wants a intrusive government trying to stop them from bearing their engagement troth!

What an iconic way to celebrate your relationship milestone 😂❤️

2 years married and I'm just now realizing I should have asked for a sword...

Its possible to get a gold diamond ring for 1000 dollars

​@@faizaqadirBmoissanite is 200 to 300 dollars

@@faizaqadirB I doubt it… gold is really really high right now, 2000-2100 an ounce. Or at least I’d be curious how much gold is in the rings?

​@@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist its usually a gold alloy because gold is a soft metal. A 14k gold ring is like 60% gold and in a gold ring there's probably only 5 grams of actual gold in there, if that.

Mine is Moissanite and I love it! And I don’t have to worry about it being a blood diamond.

I got a white sapphire . Cheaper and almost just as hard as diamond and no one knows it isnt a diamond especially when cleaned

@@ah5721 how much carats?

In norse traditional households the wife got a cat to keep the mice away from the crops!

@@ah5721 i would say i do so fast and i dont even really believe in a marriage kind of deal ;-;

If it's that indistinquishable why not say they're all real for more profit. Experts won't be able to call them out.

@@CyranofromBergeracBecause you could trace where they sourced that diamond and eventually you’d find that it came from a lab.

XD I just commented something similar. Like idk where he's getting his numbers but if your 0.95 carat is 30% less expensive than a 1 carat of the same quality it's probably at least natural vs lab.

Actual GIA educated gemologist of 13 years here… a diamond weighing .995 can be sold as a carat, but a .95 is NOT a one carat diamond. When all other variables are constant, the discount on a .95-.99 will be minimal. After carat weight, most expensive factor in a diamond is clarity. IMO this is where you can drop a grade to save money IF you are shopping for a brilliant cut stone (round, oval, pear, radiant, etc) But even that is not so simple. Most common diamond order is a 1 carat (H color and SI1 clarity) so the price on that will be a little less flexible than the same diamond but (I color, VS2 clarity) Also, everyone wants a XXX cut grade, but a diamond with a VG polish grade will be virtually the same to your eye unless you grade diamonds for a living.

If your wife has opinions on the engagement ring you're buying, maybe double check your state's laws regarding bigamy?

@@user-bz3kd2mt3u OK, you are correct. If your FUTURE wife wants a fancy ring.

@@DJ_Force ^_^

If you think that your partner is wrong for knowing what they want when it comes to the most important piece of jewelry they will likely ever have you are a cheap asshole I would get my future husband the ring he wants and I want the same from him The idea that a woman should be happy with whatever the man gets her no matter how cheap, shitty, or ugly it is needs to end because its stupid and old🙄 You should want to give your wife the ring she loves and value her enough to get past your selfishness and bitching

Someone needs to get their eyes checked then...

Yeah they don’t own the shop, they have no reason to care

​@@whitezombie10the reason most care is because they are on commission

I like your mindset. Women sometimes need to think outside of the box, than just demanding the most expensive ring there is.. Besides, colorful stones are so much prettier than just a bland transparent diamond, which you can barely see.

The sapphire is probably worth more than the diamonds 😅 Sapphire, ruby, emarlds, opals. Worth more than diamonds.

@@dwarlord3716 I bet it is! It’s beautiful!!

@@paulinad.2595 It definitely still is expensive… Probably a lot nicer looking than the same price with only diamonds. She actually lost her original one and my dad got an even more expensive one as a replacement

…What artist? I’m interested…

I agree fully. For multiple grand you could help them remodel their hobby space (ie, top of the line kitchen appliances, car parts, craft room, wood working tools) or get a ring that statistically speaking has a much higher chances if being flushed down the toilet than a drill or oven

Very useful! Your work doesn't go unappreciated!

The funny thing is lab grown last i looked its about as exspensive 😢

​@@puppyhurricaneI've got a titanium and white sapphire ring. No one knows its not a diamond and white gold. Cost huby $780 for the set . Would have cost $2000 with diamonds

If you’re worried about resale value for a wedding ring, you’re doing something wrong

@@jameslovdokken😂😂😂😂

@lucy not planing to do so, but even if I hopefully won't have picked a partner who would care.

@lucy outside of the usa ... pretty easy 🤗

My fiancé bought me a ring and I love it, but I love him more. I’d be happy with no ring too. If someone is demanding a diamond ring, they are not the one.

​@lucyMost women I've dated said they'd prefer not to have an engagement ring, only a wedding ring. I tend to go after low maintenance women though.

Unless in a pinch and you need $$$$

Princess cut gravel it is then. Thx for the tip.

I would love a sapphire as it is my birthstone

@@hamzasultan96 ? Pardon ? I was commenting on the video and him only purchasing 95% of a carat

Rings are stupid any way I won’t ever buy one

Flawless logic

Well actually, you save a lot of money by getting married due to tax advantages if you’re not making over $600k in total

Paying for whatever junk a women wants is always going to be more expensive than the tiny tax benefits you get.

Sure, if you're a crappy husband and father whose crap decisions call for it. If you're a good one, but just not the right fit, you'll wind up with your kids 50%, and your life is up to you.

Yeah, and it's literally just a specific crystallised carbon lattice. I'd actually rather be proposed to with a sanded down and polished steel spacer, than a $20k diamond ring.

Ive got a white saphire. No knows the difference I get complements on it all the time.
