This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Damn, one of these without a "fake and gay" explanation, and I'm too tired to think of a good one. I've never gotten to be the fake and gay guy, and I'm missing my chance D:

But anyway, as others have said, lab grown, vintage, there are other options.

But has anyone considered a rock that doesn't just look like glass? There are so many cool rocks out there, people! I'd literally rather have a piece of quartz that my SO and I found together turned into a ring than I would have a piece of a much fancier/"valuable" stone that I have no attachment to.

When my parents got married, they had gone gem mining at one of those places with the troughs of dirt, and you pan it yourself. They found some rubies, and had wedding rings made from those. How fucking cool is that? Way cooler than a thing you have no connection to, I think.

Fake: anon has a gf

Gay: anon doesn’t want to buy an engagement ring for his fake gf

Fake: anon uses 4chan but refers to himself as a normie

Gay: getting himself blackpilled on het culture

Diamonds don't look like glass.

Other than that you are correct about everything.

I mean, I was being hyperbolic, but they're just... Boring to me. I know a lot of people love them, but to me they just look like fancy glass.

My ring is made of silicone. Nice little grooves so it doesn't trap sweat, too. Lightweight, durable, replacable, and a lifetime warranty.

Wait until he finds out how much the reception will cost.

Blaming Sooners is weird, since the trend is slowly moving away from diamonds

I mean if you want to go down that path, all expressions of love are inherently devoid of meaning outside of that we prescribe to them. If an over valued blood diamond that your partner wants because of perverse marketing is truly the object that to them communicates the epitome of love; the only real question is if making your love known to your partner is worth that amount of money.

So do what my better half and i did - buy a ring from Etsy with a lab-grown stone.

Just gift each other something practical and romantic, like a sword.

Modern CZs actually look really good

[–] supamanc@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Lab grown diamonds are actually flawless, so the jewellery industry represents them as being too perfect. Apparently you need the imperfections that natural diamonds have in order to have 'character' and therfore value!
