1) they expensive bruh 2) none of us kno the dif btwn a fucking diamond and some fancy ass glass ur capitalist rock hierarchy has no control over us
3) mostly mined with slave labor
4) we get excited when our date buys us an appetizer, we donât even comprehend people buying us rocks that would force us into debt for ten years
5) They arenât actually that rare and the price is artificially inflated.Â
Pro tip from a former Jaredâs salesperson: You want a sparkly white rock that will look like a diamond to the untrained eye and will literally cost the price of a nice dinner for two? Created white sapphire. Theyâre lab grown and cost *pennies* to make, so you can get a 1 or 2 carat white sapphire for like⌠$30-80 probably. You can get one as huge as you like, perfectly clear, perfectly flawless. And no one will ever be able to tell the difference except a professional appraiser. Also, sapphires are the second-hardest gemstone (right after diamonds) so they are very durable! Very unlikely that theyâll chip or crack. Get that bitch set in sterling silver and you are GOOD TO GO. Whole thing should cost you less than $200 unless you get a fancy band with a lot of extra stones. Of course, created sapphires come in every color of the rainbow, so if you want something more exciting than plain white, you TOTALLY CAN.Â
Created sapphires and silver: The poor Millennialâs engagement ring.Â
THANK YOU EX-JAREDâS BASED GOD.Â
engagement rings: HACKED
Get a ring from an antique store. Theyâre usually less than $100, you know they hold up over time, no one else will have one like it, and it comes with the bonus of being haunted by the spirit of some old woman named Edith probably.
thanks edith
Tigerâs eye: $47 bucks on etsy. Propose to your elderich horror with a ring she deserves.
Rose quarts rose ring? 43 bucks. Symbol of love. Looks like a ring pop. Win-win.
Druzy quartz 40 bucks. Cant pick a color? Go with all of them. Neat texture.
Snowflake obsidian? 20 bucks. Made from the fires of the Earthâs molten core. Pretty dope conversation starter.
