Jewelry in general seems like the biggest rip-off ever. Paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for something just because it sparkles? Seriously? I will just never get it, it seems like a bigger sham than Monster Cables. I know us men buy some useless crap, but nobody will ever convince me a piece of jewelry is as useful as that HDTV or new computer.

And what's with that idea that we have to spend 2 times our monthly salary for an engagement or apparently we are poo-pooed by society? Who came up with that formula, DeBeers Marketing Dept? And then you have to buy another one that is actually the real ring?
