Cultural inertia.

There are so many prettier, colorful gemstones out there which could and should become the norm for engagement rings.
Look at this opal motherfucker right here and tell me it won't make your bitch wetter than a diamond would.

they are getting married. what do you expect?
It's more falling for the jewelry store scam. I work at a pawn shop, a good estimate of how much a ring is in a jewelry store is knock the last digit off. So you spend 2000 dollars on a shitty chip diamond ring at a jewelry store, it's worth 200 bucks second hand.

The only person that would make wet is your Nan. Jewellery like that is usually shoved in a costume jewellery box and smells like granny perfume
