My friend, who comes from a pretty wealthy family, was all excited when he told me that he spent like 15 grand on his wife's engagement ring.
I also love hearing ads from a local jeweler that keeps shitting on lab grown diamonds, because he sells natural diamonds, and is most likely losing money. He was like "Lab grown diamonds don't hold their value, but natural ones do! In order to "prove" this I'll give you a lab grown diamond if you buy a natural one! "
"I'd like to refund this natural diamond and keep the lab grown one.
What do you mean no? You are the one who told me natural diamonds hold their value."
