Diamond commercials really piss me off..

[TC2]

Do you guys ever really pay attention to the sutle and sometimes not sutle messages???

Like the one where the jackass takes his g/f or wife to the crowded town square and is like " I LOVE THIS WOMAN"!!!!.

Then she quiets him down and he gives her a big diamond.

So apparently giving a women an expensive gift is the only way to REALLY show the world that you love her.

You can think of Debeers for that! Fucking Bastards! Now if it was diamonds and another chick for a threesome I would be all for it but a fucking hard rock from old dinosaur shit is fucking ridiculous!

For most people, a diamond is a commitment.
At the very least because you either saved for a period of time to get it, or have agreed to finance it. Both being a long term commitment.

Then there are the commitment over-tones regarding what it means for a relationship.

My wife got a diamond on the third date. But then, that was when I asked her to marry me. But she got something with diamonds once or twice a year thereafter simply because it's a no-brainer gift.

Where's our commercial???

I want to see one where a man is driving down a crowded road and a woman's head pops up from his lap and wiping her chin she exclames "I LOVE THIS MAN"!!!!!!

Cause you know that that's the only way to show a man that you REALLY love him.

(check his Pikaia quote.... it's been modified)

 

[Raina]

Whenever I hear "a diamond is forever" I always think about how technically they're just carbon and will eventually be graphite .

At work a guy was telling me that he keeps hearing a diamond commercial that says a diamond will "leave her breathless". He said he thought that was a more polite way of saying "it'll shut her up".

See that's it.

It's not a cheap thing, it's nothing but a show off piece.

I just don't like the fact that we're supposed to shell out an ass load of money that serves no purpose other than to show off to other women.

I'm not a cheap guy, just certain things like diamonds just seem rediculous.

 

[Ceebs]

I'd settle for a Life Savers with a rhinestone glued on if it came from the right man.

A diamond wedding ring is a symbol of a commitment, nothing more. I think it would be wiser to buy a cheaper ring and put the money saved towards either a house, in a 401K, or save it for kids.

 

[plornive]

If you are dealing with a woman who fulfills her side of tradition, then it can be acceptable.

[dzuljas]

fuckin diamonds..........Waste of money IMO, the only time I would buy a woman a diamond is for an engagement ring, thats about it. They want you to buy their pretty diamond necklaces and earrings and all that bullshit.

I would just buy my girlfriend a sponge, a mop, a pair of gloves, and some good cleaning solvent................that'll fix that bitch!! clean the house woman!! Then fix me some food and lie down in the bedroom so I can hit it b4 i take a nap

I hate that commercial. She is like embarrassed until he gives her a big ring then she's all "I love this man..." its as if she didn't love him until he gave her the ring

 

[velvett]

You really can't blame women for the diamond monopoly.

You also can't blame women for being brainwashed by society that they need a man and that they need a man to put a rock on her finger before they're thirty.

It's really pathetic if you think about it.

 

[the nature boy]

neil diamond.

 

[Spartacus]

whats so wrong about spending some money on someone you car about and/or love?..if its for a diamond so be it...money is just a medium of exchange for goods and services..having said that though,don't ever spend money on gifts for a girl on credit..if you can't buy the gift and pay for it at that moment,then downgrade your expenditure...an exception could be made for the big ticket engagement ring,but I'd still want that paid for by the time of marriage..on a side note,I once was shopping for an engagement ring..when the jeweler showed me a nice 5K ring I looked at him(and there were other customer's around) and said "my cocks not THAT small"..the silence was priceless

How do you figure??

Seems to me that the only people that give a fuck about showing off diamonds are women.

What's the 1st thing a woman asks about a diamond?? How many carats??right???(read how much did your man spend on you).

I remember when I went ring shopping with my ex GF.

It was carat this, color this,clarity this.

What the fuck does it matter what the paper says??? If you can't see flaws with the naked eye, who cares right??

It's bragging rights, plain and simple.

Society, peer pressure what ever you want to call it dictates this norm-it's that simple. I don't agree with it either - it's repulsive.

Women ask how many carats because all their friends, family even strangers are going sum up and pass judgement on the man that bought them the ring based on it's size.

The only way this will change is if the custom changes.

If women had to buy men rings, buy the house, pay the bills and hold the pressure of keep of family financial stable things would be different.

But they are not.

You don't have to fall for it - but most women as do many of the men that do the purchasing.

The typical diamond buyer gets an “SI2 to I3” grade. The color is usually H or less. I have even seen I4, which is industrial grade. Anything SI2 or less is total crap.

Cubic Zirconium is garbage too. Soft lustery garbage. I have been buying Russian lab diamonds. They are IF grade and D color. If they are a good cut they look beautiful in a setting. As with all IF diamonds they look like glass. I have Masonite testers and other testers for hardness. These are 9+ on scale. So, they will not buff out over time. These are as good as real diamonds if you can get over the fact that they are not created in the earth over several million years.

Case in mind was a trip to a local high-class watch store. I had on my fake Movado that I paid $6 for. I saw the same exact one in this store. I ask her to pull it out. It was externally IDENTICAL!!! Same band and everything. It kept great time too. The Movado cost at this retail outlet, $425.

I told her that my watch was fake. It was almost like I told her that her tits looked like soppy cabbages. She told me that if Movado ever got hold of it they would chop it in half. I of course had to argue my case and asked her, what is the difference? Her only argument, “it’s not real”. So, I should not pay for “a watch”. I should pay for the name. Ahh, that makes sense!

If you buy a $6000 appraised diamond ring the actual value is closer to $1200. Yes! That’s how it goes. Appraisal is a joke. If you buy at a discount place for 50% of appraisal you are still getting ripped off.

I never bought my wife an engagement ring. She got me back (joking) by buying and selling diamonds for a while. Of course she kept all the good stuff.

That 3-month bullshit is exactly that. If you make $60,000 then you are pressured to buy a $15,000 diamond. That’s like dairy companies telling you that you should drink a gallon of milk for every 100 pounds of weight you are.

A commercial that has some chick coming up wiping her chin would be classic. They may also want to make a commercial where the woman is on the stand during a divorce battle wearing that $15,000 ring.

 

[Code]

As a side note to all this. 20/20 did a piece on this company that perfected the process of making diamonds in a factory setting.

They sell 1 and 2ct diamonds (which cannot be distringuished from naturally formed diamonds) for 100-200 bucks.

 

[[email protected]]

That's the Russian lab diamonds. They CAN be detected but not by eye. 20/20 are alarmist when it comes to stories and really are bad with the facts.

A jewelry store will NEVER buy or certify an IF stone as real anyway. Something like that has to be sent to GIA.

They also have 1/4 karat and up now. Colors, shapes, and whatever the general market demands.

So where do you go to find a nice ring without getting ripped off?

 

[[email protected]]

Someone willing to produce GIA certification or back his own grading. Allow you to get an independent appraisal and grading with a no questions money back guarantee.

You have to shop around also. Trust the dealer. It’s like buying a car. If they see you are a rookie they will rape you dry. Then again, if you know a little it can hurt you too. They’ll see this and blow so much sunshine up your ass about how smart you are you’ll get screwed that way too.

Go to a large reputable dealer. Word of mouth works well but make sure the word is not from a dope. Ask women with rings, they love to yack yack yack about them.

What state are you in? I don’t mean a confused state either…

Nope its an American company owned by a vietnam vet.
20/20 took the man-made diamonds to 10 different eperts throughout the world, no one could tell a difference.

That's interesting. Expect them to creep into the market as soon as some Asian company steals / copies the technology. Diamond prices will plummet until they get some type of serial number system that is lasered directly onto the diamond that can be verified. Does that mean in that case that all existing diamonds are deemed suspect once this happens?

This is the same problem that occurred when they started copying old US coins that were worth about $500+ each. Drove the prices of them into the ground. When you now buy them you expect a 50/50 chance and the depressed price reflects it.

Yeah, Nightline did a piece on the same company from the flip-side, the diamond wars and how much this guy is risking his life.

He's got a full time staff of e-delta dudes guarding him and he has said his two goals are to stop the diamond wars and remove the monopoly currently established.

That sounds like a good thing... If he is so serious about it then release the technology on the internet. Unless his main goal is to just make money.

Well, I'm sure he wants to make a few million before he starts getting extreme, if he plans on being THAT extreme at all.

I'm sure he's getting serious dough in bribes to hold back his diamonds because they haven't hit the market yet.
