So after Ordinary Thing’s latest video, I was reminded again how much I don’t care about diamonds, and actually the whole ‘present a ring and blah blah’ thing really doesn’t sit well with me.
I get that if I were to be in love enough to want to commit the rest of my life, I would want to demonstrate that effectively, but crystals stuck to a metal ring just doesn’t do it for me.
Like, maybe ‘here’s a life changing trip for just the two of us around south east asia’ or ‘come live in Latin America with me for 2 months’ or something that feels significant… Diamonds just aren’t it. Symbolic yes, I get it.
Am I alone feeling this way?
Moissanite was an easy sell to the wife when I showed the size of diamond I could afford compared to the size of moissanite I could afford. The fact it’s brighter, more colourful, and nobody died to get it were all perks. It’s held up great over the years too, unlike some of the other gemstones with lower hardness.
