Diamonds for sure, the sales lady tried to impress me by saying they moved 2 tons of material to find the average diamond. I work in construction and moving 2 tons of dirt is less than $50 digging it up and trucking it 5km. Put it through a crusher and screens shouldn't be more than twice that.
$10,000 dollars please.

They would, why wouldn't they? But we don't care much for them in the SW.
(Yes, these are weirdly unexplainable exceptions to the Bow River divider rule).

Except for that whole deep mining in dense material part. Not too many diamonds just casually sitting under a couple feet of suburban loam.

Diamonds certainly aren’t a functioning competitive market. The costs to get the Diamond has little bearing on the price of a diamond given the oligopoly in the market.

Jewellery in general is lame. Our family's annual budget for jewellry is $0. My wedding ring is rubber ffs. Diamonds are particularly dumb.

He does it in reverse. The gold ring is on that appendage. It is Sliver we’re talking about.

You can't just take a washer out of your faucet and call it a wedding ring.

Nah man, silicon wedding rings are the best. I've converted one friend at work already and others are interested but spent a lot on their metal ones from the wedding and not willing to give it up yet.
To elaborate:
Comfort: Way more comfortable -- lighter, more flexible
Safety: Immeasurably safer, no risk of de-gloving your finger or cutting off blood flow
Price: Way, way less expensive. Lose it, or need a new size? No problem
Just have to get the whole "Wedding ring = fancy and expensive" thing out of your mind. Nobody can care less what your ring actually is made of, just that you're wearing it.

Wedding rings in general are fairly stupid. There is no benefit to wearing one. Cost aside, the injuries that can occur by wearing one, and the risk of having some criminal kill you or cut off your finger for it just seems so unnecessary.

I prefer the old pop-top soda can rings. They double as a weapon too.

All for that though. I'd switch to that or none at all if I could get away with it.

The risk of either of those things happening are very low for most people.
