Do Girls want a huge engagement ring...

[Crazy4Herps]

As a girl, I could honestly not care less about a ring. That is not to say that most girls don't care, many girls do care about rings very much and I can respect this. However, a small rock is merely symbolic, and in reality has very little to do with engagement.

That's an insightful post, but here's another perspective. It shows that you're smart, you can manage your finances, you know the truth about the diamond trade, and you're not susceptible: to a sales pitch, marketing ploy, or the shallow desires of a spoiled little girl.

You do know, DeBeers invented the idea of diamond engagement rings...

On a similar topic, I would never accept a diamond engagement ring. The actual rock is practically worthless (they are only so expensive because DeBeers controls the entire diamond market and advertises them as a rarity), and there are still people dying in South Africa harvesting these worthless rocks!
