You can buy a cheap mass produced diamond off Ali or Etsy and then have a jeweler mount it in a ring for you for a fraction of the price.

Just get a lab grown or moissanite, if she reacts negatively, that's a big red flag for you.
Diamonds are a jewish scam, lab diamonds are semi based because they are made by the Chinese who are undermining the jewish natural diamond scheme. Its literally just shiny rocks, and they barely have any resale value.
I paid $100 for my lab diamonds and got the pendant made myself so I didnt pay any (((middlemen))). I only paid for the casting and the gem setting.

If you guys want a jewelry redpill, you can actually design any custom thing you can think of, hire someone to make the 3d stl file on fiverr or various stl sites, order the number of lab diamonds from china on alibaba, send the design to a casting house which will just charge you for the gold + small labor fee of casting. They will mail you the raw casting, than take it to a local jeweler with the stones to polish it / set stones.
This way you are getting it at the cost of manufacturing price the jewelers themselves pay, and you won't have to pay the (((retail))) price aka the nigger cattle price.

I've said this once, and I'll say it again.

NEVER spend more than five dollars per day on a woman. Ever.

Marriage is a legally binding business contract that says the women gets to steal your money and assets. Do not EVER get married.

But if you do, buy a $1.99 ring of AliExpress (free shipping.) This allows you to still follow the five dollars per day maximum rule, with three dollars to spare in case you want to buy a cucumber to shove up your own rump so you can know what divorce court feels like.

20% of Israel's exports are diamonds. But Israel has no diamond mines. They are literally a jewish scam and if everyone switched to buying *the same exact thing except made in a chinese lab*, it would be a huge hit to jewish diamond scammers.

If you want something else but still remain in the engagement ring, buy something really rare.

There are stones such as alexandrite, taafeite, jadeite and a whole bunch of stones that are technically rarer but more affordable than diamonds, they just don't share the same hype nor have the same chemical or esthetical attributes such as hardness and lustre.

I mean sometimes the woman fleas with the stone, but if yours is decent, she'll stick with you.

Women still overwhelmingly prefer “real” diamonds over lab-grown ones of higher quality and larger carat size because they are slaves to their illogical premodern evolutionary programs. A mined diamond reflects costly signaling precisely because it is inexplicably more expensive than superior lab grown diamonds. When a man buys a mined diamond it credibly demonstrates his ability and willingness to irrationally sacrifice resources for his mate, much like a male peacock’s tail signals genetic fitness through waste. A lab-grown stone is physically identical down to the last atom and is created using the same process (pressure and heat) but bypasses the costly proof, making it a weaker signal of male commitment.

You can fight back against female stupidity as follows:

(1) Don’t be a simp, buy lab-grown.

(2) Don’t go overboard with carat size, the lab grown stone will already be much higher quality in terms of cut, color, and clarity, so if it’s the size of blueberry she’ll no something is off. Indeed, if she knows your general budget go .10 ct smaller than she wants and tell her you thought it was worth the slightly smaller stone for the higher overall quality.

(3) Don’t claim you bought it at a brick and mortar store, she may pry for more details and even go to the store to ask about cleaning, resizing, etc. Rather, say you bought the stone and setting separately (ie, loose stone purchase) from a reputable online only retailer (eg, Blue Nile).

(4) Basic sneaky shit hygiene. Have it delivered for pickup to a UPS / FedEx store. Do not ship to your office, family, or a friend regardless of how much you think you can trust them. Burn, and I mean burn, the packing materials and “certification” paperwork (the stone is worthless and if you need to file an insurance claim you’re fucked anyway). Obviously don’t use a credit card that she has access to or even may at some point in the future have access to.

(5) Fake an invoice from an insurance company that specializes in jewelry and does not have national brand awareness (ie, Jewelers Mutual, not GEICO). Make sure it includes the insured value of the stone but not details about the stone. Hold this in reserve. If she asks to see the paperwork tell her that the retailer forwarded it to the insurer for verification and storage in the insurer’s secure vault (like a safe deposit box). If she still asks for it feign ignorance over the process of making the request and take umbrage with her prying. If she has any shame at all, she’ll drop it. If she doesn’t drop it, rethink the marriage.

(6) As much as you will want to brag about getting over on your bride, keep your dumb fucking mouth shut.

Buy a cheaper but still nice ring for $300-$500 Dollars, if she's the sort to be bothered tell her it cost more.
>>
I got lucky that my GF prefers silver jewellery over gold and smaller discrete items.
She had some jewellery from the family that had sentimental value that had the infinity 8 pattern on it.
So I found something like this, it was on the cheaper side but she loved it, the fact that I had put some thought into buying something I knew she would like was worth more to her than the value of it.
>>
>>60968816
True. I was just testing the process. They want over $2000 for that pendant at retail prices.
The pendant cost me $650 and the 5g bar $650.
$1300 - $2000 = $700 or 35% profit if sold at retail.
If I had buyers lined up for custom jewelry I could make a nice profit.
The cool thing about the jewelry business is that its very safe, you just accumulate real wealth over time. At worst you get stuck with gold thst retains its value or goes up over time.
This is different from most businesses, you never end up sitting on worthless inventory that you cant sell, like the meme of the guy who got stuck with $5000 worth of fidget spinners

Yeah but chinks are flooding the market with very cheap diamonds. They caused the natural diamonds to crash like 50% over the last few years. Diamond jews are seething

Never was a fan of jewelry, always knew diamonds were nonsense advertising... the icing on the cake is wearing them on a retarded ring all sticky-outy or that can get lost down a drain is just... NO. Real, fake, lab or virgin, there's a million cooler things to buy someone than a diamond. Any woman demanding or wanting one from me loses about 5 hotness points, unsuitable for breeding.

>>60969686
Bullshit, the blood diamond horror legend was years ago. Most stones are mined by mega mining corporations, Rio Tinto and so on, and semi government institutions such as Alrosa in Russia.

Everything is strucured, if there is anyone to blame it is the government in places that don't give back enough.

A lot of lab diamonds are made in an industrious manner that exploits its operators in a similar fashion (check China).

Children work is also cultural, in some countries poor enough such as Africa, it is the families that send their children in mines. Having tons of kids is a way of of providing labour force, that they send at a young age to work so they can sustain families.

They didn't develop the empathy we have in the northern hemisphere for survival purposes, they don't care if they send their children to work in the mines, it is a whole other way of thinking. The gems aren't bad, they are just there, and we would consider their way of doing shit bad but they themselves don't.

So are we in agreement that lab-grown diamonds are the move? The overpriced natural bullshit isn't worth it. Lab grown diamonds aren't worth shit for resale but that's the lady's problem if she wants a divorce in the future.

Don’t disagree. In fact, given that the actual value of the carbon is rapidly driving toward zero I look at it like I’m buying a certificate that says, “An African child needlessly suffered to extract this thing from the earth that could have more easily and efficiently been created in a lab.”

>>60964072
Get a Ruby, Emerald, or Sapphire those are actually rare when compared to diamonds and only slightly less hard
Say some bullshit about she is special and rare so I bought something that is actually special and rare
Go to some pawnshops and buy the biggest loose stone you can find that is the cut you are looking for and get a ring custom made with 24kt gold
Don't listen to jewelers only the shitty ones can't work with 24kt.
A beautiful colored stone and a truly pure gold ring will look better than any gay diamond ring on 12-18k gold rings
The price of these stones will only go up so even though its a "waste" you can always sell it if necessary
