I can guess which is his and which is hers. Not my thing.

I saw this picture on Facebook earlier and immediately thought of this thread. Now THIS is the kind of quirky rings I would go for if I were into the whole marriage thing

Perfect for the Romantics who want to express their strong bond and close fit, and the Cynics who think they're getting screwed.

Actually I would have said the screw is hers (it has a diamond) and the bolt is his. It amuses me :P

I when I was growing up always wanted a ruby surrpunded by synthetic diamonds.

I mean, as a scientist, it's just a bunch of Carbon atoms together, its the thought that counts!!

I'm not engaged yet but would love something like this : http://blogs.wsj.com/runway/2008/12/11/lunchtime-snap-engagement-bling-loses-some-sparkle/

(ignore articical, just look at the big ring :O )

My late grandmothers ring is waiting for me. It's gorgeous. Gold band, 4 white diamonds either side of a ruby stone with is raised above the others. It's really beautiful and it has huge sentimental meaning too.

People who judge other people's wedding rings need to get over themselves
and that includes people who shame women for wanting diamonds,

not all diamonds are blood diamonds FFS

Define Blood Diamond and come up with a system of proving it or GTFO
The Kimberley Process is a failure.

My partner got me a white gold diamond ring and I don't wear it , I'm embarrassed to be wearing a diamond because its not me and I'm allergic to it fml he's gonna think I don't love him :pac: I just want a little silver ring its only a symbol after all and I don't understand why people want to walk around with 1000's worth of jewelry on them

Was just thinking the same thing.

Are people not entitled to their own tastes anymore? Simple or extravagant, it's nothing to do with me what people want to put on their hands.

Fair enough, there's no no way of knowing.

But you should still back the f*ck off telling other women what to do, its none of your damn business where they got their ring.

And not wanting a diamond ring is fine also, but it doesn't make you super unique morally better.

Why? How?

For questioning the Kimberly Process?

For requesting that she get the f*ck out if she couldn't define blood diamond and prove it?!

"FFS" was mild enough expression of exasperation I used and not directed at anyone in particular.


I don't take rudeness from anyone on these boards, you told me to GTFO which is pretty nasty, how did you expect me to respond?
