To All You Diamond Haters...
I'll tell ya what...if you have or if you do receive any diamonds, I will happily take them off your hands. No problemo. They may not be my "best friend" but pretty damn close.

The only reason I'll have a diamond in my engagement ring is because I already have the diamond--a family heirloom, given to me by my grandmother. It actually belonged to my great-grandmother. If it weren't for that diamond, I'd want an emerald engagement ring.

Jemmie! Too Cool!
Are you sure you aren't me? No...wait...I'd know if I lived in Hawaii.
Seriously, I told my ex when we got engaged that I'd call off the wedding if he gave me a diamond engagement ring. I wanted an emerald, and I got one. Set in platinum, with a tiny tiny diamond on each side to balance it. Next time --- if there is one --- I want a sapphire.

(Breathing sigh of relief as I type)
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that hates diamonds!
True story time: My former partner and I were walking through a Chicago-area mall less than a month before I dumped him. (More accurately, less than a month before he realized I was serious about dumping him.) We passed a jewelry store, and looked at the display. Now, keep in mind that he fancied himself engaged to me at this point; he didn't want to believe that I was getting rid of him.
We then saw a ring that, in 1977 dollars, cost nine thousand dollars - yes, you read right, $9,000! Nowadays that wouldn't be a big-deal price for some diamonds, but back then, a price tag that big was very rare. The stone was large, and would have looked just awful on my smallish fingers; when I made that perfectly clear, my former partner had the unmitigated nerve to tell me that if I thought I'd look ugly with bling-bling that big, I was horribly low in self-esteem, and I'd better go raise that self-esteem. In other words, if you like tasteful jewelry that flatters your finger rather than gaudy, overly large pieces that show off your partner's ability to support you, you have poor self-esteem. If you prefer the gaudy, overlarge diamonds, you have excellent self-esteem, at least in his opinion.
All I can say is, I'm glad I didn't marry this idiot.

ms pickles!!!
You can't imagine how happy your comment makes me! Everyone I know, when I tell them I hate diamonds, tells me I am crazy!!!
And the only reason I want a diamond in my engagement ring is because I already HAVE the diamond! It is a family heirloom. Was a part of my great-grandmother's engagement ring and is over 100 years old.
If it weren't for that diamond, I'd want an emerald engagement ring.
I knew there was a reason I was drawn to you and to reading your blogs!
