The Value of Diamonds

Qn: Will you spend a five figure sum on Diamond ring?

My answer: Guess not. When I was 24, I brought myself my first Diamond ring using the bonus from my first year in the career. I was delighted for a while (maybe about 2 weeks). Then, one day, the delight wore off and I suddenly felt that it was kinda of silly to be spending so much money to acquire such a tiny stone. I have never particularly have the urge to own a particularly large and flashy solitaire since then.

As to all the advertisements featuring diamonds as a declaration of a man’s love. I said “Bullshit!” I certainly hope love goes way beyond the superficial front of a flashy diamond.

What drives this post? Maybe, soup grapes! Ha Ha!

Well, I seriously do think it is dumb to be spending so much money on a ring when you guys are not very loaded in the first place. If you are truly loaded, then, by all means, buy extravagant jewellery and flaunt them at your pleasure.

Er…am not referring to a certain someone. Just a gal fren and her soon to be spouse.
