Think about it. Before their evil marketing campaign in the early 1900s most people didn't give a shit about Dimond rings for weddings.
They not only make huge profits from selling you what is essentially worthless compressed carbon but also contribute to many bloodshed for it.
Most sickeningly you put that ring one your wife and symbolically tag yourself yourself like cattle for them. Their property.
Anything that infested with shylocks is going to be a complete shit-show.
IMAGUN MY SHOK
yes but the goyim don't care if it's a scam
Yeah, the movie, Blood Diamond, was just a scheme to get people to buy overpriced "non-conflict" diamonds, but they still basically use slave labor to mine the diamonds.
just buy chinese synthetic diamonds

They have a lot of scams
Jews don't own the diamond business anymore, Indians do now.

That's because kikes realized you can make synthetic diamonds for much cheaper and they look exactly the same so of course they took their shekels and ran away to infest another business with their kikery. Plus, aren't most wedding rings these days just wedding bands? No diamonds?
Oh, you mean Jew-el?
True. Engagement rings are with diamonds though.
Anything that steals a man's labor from him is evil. The average sap spends 3 months salary on a diamond ring. By this measure I'd say it's pretty mediocre compared to the mortgage Jew or the college Jew scam.
What did people do for weddings before diamond rings?
gold bands duh
idk people don't really get diamond engagement rings anymore. i think people in the internet generations kinda know that diamonds are a meme. only some prime roast would give a shit and only so she could show it off on insta and to her friends.
diamonds are taking a nosedive desu
Yep
Just propose without one, if she won't marry you bc of no diamond then fuck her you just dodged a bullet
I did the smart thing and proposed with my grandma's wedding ring, it has sentimental value cost me nothing and is very consetvative.
Diamonds are a fucking scam.
No real market because there is no objective measure of quality. They are basically worth what your (((dealer))) says there are.
Stay with gold or platinum for signalling purposes.
Honestly I've always thought that we would dispense with all Victorian inventions and have a traditional marriage.
I'm certainly not getting down on one knee like a cuck.
Synthetic diamonds, by the traditional "4 C's" standard of quality (cut, color, clarity, carat), are flawless compared to their natural counterparts. They are also way cheaper, and undetectable as a synthetic diamond to the naked eye, you need a special machine that actually notices the LACK of imperfections to determine if a diamond is synthetic.
What are you to do if you are a greedy diamond company that has been hoarding natural diamonds for decades, to create an artificial shortage and inflate prices? How do you make as much money as possible off your decreasing asset?
The plan is to flood the market with synthetic diamonds. Prepare to see a bunch of cheaper diamonds in costume jewelry aimed at millenials. Step two is to start marketing synthetics as "less unique" than natural ones. They are going to start selling mined diamonds with "names" (like heart of the ocean) to give them more personality. The ultimate goal is to convince women that their man doesn't care about them unless he shills out even more money for an identical product of less quality. And it will work. No one bought a diamond 60 years ago until they did their marketing campaign.
Have you ever tried to sell a diamond on the secondary market? It's impossible. You can't sell it for anywhere near what a jeweler will tell you it's worth, even though it is unchanged from the day you bought it. It's a giant scam. The reason for this is because Debeers doesn't want people buying diamonds on the secondary market. They want people to hang on to them forever and keep them out of the market. The "diamonds are forever" campaign was aimed at doing this, and it worked too.
In the words of Lauryn Hill, this world is a hustle.
>Dimond ring
If you bought it yes and if you will then you're a total sucker.
You can't sell that at 1/10 of price after you walked out of the store.
Massive scam. Kills real traditions.
blame women
>Are Dimond ring one of the most evil ANGLO scams?
reminder that anglos are kikes servant dogs, youre no better, vile and wretched
consumerism
Big scam and not even cute or pretty. It is just a way for gold digger to take more money from you, she will keep the house, the alimonies and the 10k ring. You can keep the dog.
>synthetic are also way cheaper
not gem quality. large, high quality, synthetic diamonds are very expensive to produce.
not as expensive as what you would be charged for a mined one of the same quality
The whole wedding thing is a total scam. When one of my best friends got married, I thought all the money their family and friends pooled was to pay for a house to raise children or something.
Turned out 80% of it was for the wedding itself and the honeymoon. I wanted to kill them both and runaway with the money. I guess I'm part sephardi myself.
Diamonds are shit. My wife and I have a simple, cheap wedding ring each. They have a Celtic-style pattern. Neither of us wanted an expensive ring.
(((jew)))elry
Listen if you were born into a Hasidiic family your first job would be a photographer for Rolex, THere is a reason it is called JEWelry.
>not giving her a pearl necklace
Checked and screencapped, thanks for your insight user
I got a ring from my mon that I proposed with, and I made my own from tungsten. We are eloping at the end of the summer and probably aren't spending more than 500 bux total on the ackshul wedding.
*mom
Sorry to blogpost, just letting tou know people aren't all retarded.
You faggots will believe anything.
Well, we know you are.
>ITT broke boos bitching about not being able to afford a rock for a woman they don’t have.
Stay mad incels!
Jeweler, this is true. Diamonds are nice but extremely overvalued.
In the old days a diamond ring was a life insurance policy. If you died, then your wife was supposed to sell the diamond and use the money to support herself until she could get remarried. But yes, most all of the marketing in the diamond trade today is one big scam.
Dumb cunts buy diamond rings because they have been brainwashed.
I don't understand why things like emeralds are less common than diamonds, prettier than diamonds but also cheaper than diamonds. At least diamonds have practical uses for drill bits.
Just get moissanite for 1/10th the price. Nobody will ever know the difference.
>buy worthless rock instead of a house goy
Gee, (((who))) could be behind this post?
Buy a house too you broke fuck.
I’ve got a house, 2 cars and 10k ring on wife’s finger.
Get your finances in order.
>buys fake diamond to show they don’t care about diamonds
Wow, you fuck a flashlight too to show you don’t care about pussy?
>I bought $10,000.00 worth of carbon
>I ridicule others about their finances
Diamond isn't even an interesting gemstone to look at. At least Alexandrite changes color in different lights.
circumcision is probably worse famalam
You’re the one making a big deal over 10k, bud. It’s nothing.
Diamonds reflect and magnify light into a spectrum.
Its funny because my wife was reading a womans magazine that told her just how much a man should spend on a diamond ring given his income level. It never dawned on her why we should throw away thousands of dollars on a useless rock. Imagine someone wants to sell you dogshit, but you dont want any dogshit, so they go to your wife and say, your husband better buy you some decent dogshit so you can impress your galfriends, and then they show her a pricing plan for quality dogshit based on how much money you make.
And that makes it worth the pricetag? If I'm spending 10k on a ring, it would have to shoot lasers and open secret doors in the Smithsonian before I feel like I got my money's worth. Sounds like you got gypped mate.
Stfu boomer.
Not true, as is evidence by Williams traditional marriage both men and women wearing wedding bands is also a Jewish trick, it's only the women who wore a ring, usually bearing the mans family crest
>if she won't marry you bc of no diamond then fuck her you just dodged a bullet
Too bad you've just eliminated the vast majority of women. Women care more about the status symbol (diamond ring) than they do being married to you, as she can show it around.
Yes, but this practice is only common in the USA and probably the other anglosphere countries, in the rest of the world you just give an average ring to your girl.
Jews literally invneted the myth that you have to spend a certain portion of your annual salary on a ring
>post yfw you're a jew that makes tons of money by being a money lender since Christians were afraid of money in the 15th century and now they're all poor and shitposting on Jow Forums
Don't forget to remember the Holocaust today!
Kubrick, is that you?
my mom always said diamonds are cold and to run the other way if I get involved with a chick who wants a diamond ring.
The Earth's mantle is groaning under the weight of all the diamonds in it. they are as common as shit. The whole diamond market relies on a false scarcity caused by diamond houses like de beers that hoard them and eke them out to keep the price high.
That's the real reason they stamp out anybody else from selling them- it would destroy the false scarcity and the price would tank.
