What's crazy to me is that all the women who I work with or hang out with all have giant ****ing rings. When I bought the thing I really thought I had no choice in the matter, it is what it is.

I lost my platinum wedding band like 10 years ago. I was always taking it off. Must have left it somewhere.

I was 22 when I bought mine; still in college. Knocked off some HS savings and my motorcycle money account to pay for it. Platinum setting with some baguette cut diamonds on the band and a 1.15 carat round in the center. It's a damn nice diamond; SI but with an inclusion I could hide under the prong - Ideal cut w/ F color. I really did some pretty damn nice work getting that whole thing bought/built for about $4k. And for about 10 years she had the 'best' ring of anyone she knew.

Now people are sporting 2+ carat rings and she kinda hints here and there. Jesus woman - what the hell do you need that kind of rock for?

EDIT: Holy shit!! That rock she wants is gonna cost about $20K! Pft - GFTO here with that. They say you can't put a price on good pussy but man I'm willing to say it ain't worth THAT.
