I am still amazed that the myths surrounding diamonds are still believed today even though we have access to the facts surrounding their true history.
Had an argument with a woman who was adamant that they are traditional. Before was it 1940 less than 3% of engagement rings had diamonds in them.
The marketing campaign launched by de beers has been in my opinion the most successful campaign ever. Taking a product which is literally worthless and making people believe that it's worth a lot of money and making people part with thousands to please their ignorant partners who are brainwashed to believe that the bigger the diamond the more they love you.

There's a fantastic series on Netflix called Explained. Short digestible mini documentaries, and there's one on exactly that. How diamonds got turned into a must have, and how the industry adapted its marketing as stuff like man-made diamonds turned up.

Congratulations to you both.
The ring and wedding are the cheap parts. It's much, much more expensive getting out of it a few years down the line
That's where good old fashioned murder comes in.

Bit of a random guess, but was that photo taken at Thirlmere by any chance?

Nope, but the angle is a weird one.
It was indeed, but I proposed at Blea Tarn. Lovely part of the world, I haven't been as an adult so I'm glad to have chosen it for a little holiday.

Not quite as good as a Diamond ring, Congrats btw, but shiney
Not as good - better! Chris really missed the trick not giving his now fiancee a stick of trident Z instead.Not quite as good as a Diamond ring, Congrats btw, but shiney

The Trident Z Royal looks pretty bling, may have done as a replacement.

A combination chain lock to use in conjunction with my D-Lock. D-Lock through rear wheel and frame and the chain lock through the front wheel and frame.
