You say there's no difference between a $10k ring and a $1k ring? I say there's no difference between a $20 dinner vs a $100 dinner. No difference between a $10k car and a $40k car. No difference between a 50 inch TV and a 32 inch TV
So just because there is a market for them means it's smart to pay a lot of money for them? I think the industry dupes people into wasting their money on something that is actually worthless. You've clearly fallen for the marketing hype around diamonds, but that doesn't mean there isn't hope for the OP and his fiancé.
