Romantic Wedding Rings Ideas
With so many people around me engaged, it got me thinking about what would be a good ring to get, if I ever find that special someone. Those who know me, all know that I'm severely against the traditional gold diamonds ring. I seriously don't understand the usefulness of the diamond. If you want diamond, a good table saw would have diamond coating on it. At least THAT'S more useful.
Anywho, I came up with a couple of romantic ideas for a ring:
1) Go to Antarctica, find a stone, make it into a ring. It demonstrates that you went out of your way to get the ring for your special someone.
2) To go above and beyond of the previous idea, go to each continent and acquire a lump of metal. Melt the metal down and make a ring. That way, you can say you went to the ends of the world for your special someone.
3) If you're against travelling, then this one is for you. Extract some stem cells from yourself, grow some bones using those stem cells, and make a ring out of that bone. It would be more than just a metaphorical meaning to the expression "I devote myself to you".

I'm not against a ring, but I'm DEAD against diamonds. I vowed to never enter Tiffany's (with conscious knowledge...knocking me out and placing me there does not count).
If I ever get attached, I hope my man will know enough of me to figure out that the "normal" tradition is the LAST thing he should do.
but but but... diamonds are pretty and sparkly and last forever and dammit I WANT ONE!!! a reasonably sized attractive one though, not one of those huge ugly things that people only like cuz they're worth a fortune (lol. who can hear a bank account going "YES!!!"?). and jack, you're just creepy. but you knew that.
Hahaha, what you call creepiness, I call eccentricity. And I take great pride in that aspect of my character ;).
Yes, diamonds are beautiful. But such beauty is so deceitful and useless. Yes, diamonds have been used as heirlooms forever and fortunes have been measured in carats. But, diamonds are total rip offs! The world’s diamond supply is controlled by the De Beers Cartel and this monopoly has been ruthless to ensure its power. Diamonds are NOT rare! They are not nearly as rare as we, the consumers had been led to believe. Why should I pay over 600% markup for a small rock when De Beers has tones of it locked up in warehouses? Ever wonder why Sierra Leone is rated the World’s worst country to live in? It’s because their soil is cursed with diamonds. De Beers have been supporting rebel groups and unspeakable violence in that area for the sole purpose of securing themselves as the only buyer of diamonds. These are called “blood diamonds”, for many lives were lost for them. The truth got international media attention in the late 1990s, so De Beers tried to recover its image by introducing a new line of diamonds sourced up north...and they are so called “clean”. Knowing all this, how can I possibly have something so dirty and corrupted put on my finger to represent my love, which is so wholesome and pure?
Note: the above comment is my own justification for my sentiment towards diamonds. I am not against anyone else getting them. I know that I cannot change the the world. I also know that the last thing I should do to a newly engaged couple is to bust their happy bubble. When I get rich enough, I also plan to buy a diamond for my mother for she is a woman too often deprived of happiness and I figured that it will be a worthwhile investment for the sake of her contentment in life.
