Diamond

Diamond - Getting ready to ask the girlfriend to marry me, but my machismo doesnt want to buy a ring that is less expensive than a ring that any of her friends may have. Which means I got to start working harder! It might be easy except for the fact that she worked in a diamond store in a previous life. So not only do I have to know everything about diamonds, but I have to get one that is of the highest quality.

Dont get me wrong, shes worth more than all the money in the world. But thats part of the problem; I dont have all the money in the world. When I find something I can afford, its crappy. When I find something I like, I cant afford it talk about stress!

Diamond stores are a dime a dozen and they all have a high mark up. A super high mark up. Which makes it difficult to find a reasonable shop that offers quality and excellent prices. I have a few shops I look at, but nothing I can confidently say is the best.
