A friend of mine had up this picture on her Facebook page in response to a question about whether a woman would accept this engagement ring. Her answer was most definitely “no” and I don’t blame her for that because this is not what society tells you that you are supposed to expect as a woman.
However, what I would say is that it would be a better world if that was considered an appropriate ring. Instead, men have to waste mass money on a rock instead of a car, down payment on a house or something else that could genuinely make life better for him and his new bride — and why? Mostly so that women can flash the ring in front of their friends and brag about it. Oh, and we can’t forget that although diamond engagement rings have been around a long time, this “tradition” in the states mostly stretches back to a 1940 corporate marketing campaign. So most importantly, you’re helping to keep diamond merchants in business instead of spending the money on more useful things. Still, it is what it is…
