wei... don't include LV bags into it.. that's different issues ok... i'm a firm believer that these bags are worth the price okie

women..

totally agree!!! bags serve more practical purposes than diamonds..

eh eh don't get all sexist on this issue you don't see us complaining about your gadgets okie~~  there's guys who buys the designers stuff as well k~~ i've got a fren who wouldn't wear any other blouse unless it's tailored made by starks workshop

You can't compare handbags to gadgets

Hence the difference of "perceived value" and "true value". Its why guys think girls are incredibly stupid for spending so much on an LV bag, and why girls are all crazy about it The fact is, most people will get away with fakes, and the same is true with diamonds, the inflated costs is quite ridiculous.

If we want to educate people on diamonds, then shouldn't they be educated on both the history on diamonds as well as the issues entangled with the production and distribution of diamonds? They are pretty stones no doubt, but its like someone selling fake goods at insane prices and everyone believes its real. The marked up prices only exists because the illusion of exclusivity is there.
Har? What would you have to back that? I remember seeing the prices of synthetic and real diamonds and the synthetics were always cheaper. It makes sense too, since you can easily produce them in labs rather than funding an entire mining operation.

Yeap,a 295GTX is better than a piece of stone.

Mod I've created a thread regarding diamonds as I feel and read so many thread came up regarding proposal ring, but somehow the thread had been move to girls club which I feel is not the correct place.

CC is the right place to learn about diamond for proposal ring.

1st when a guy wanna know about proposal ring, the ring isnt the problem its the diamond that is expensive and confusing, as not many ppl know much about diamond

2nd, Girls dun buy diamond, guys buy them for us.

3rd so many threads about proposal ring allowed in CC why diamond thread moved?

Well, its only your personal opinion, I shall not debate with you, but just remember this; majority of the world agrees that a 1 carat D color VVS2 stone is priced at RM40,000.00 if you think its worth RM400 its only your opinion and you shall never get it at that price.
I think you should come out with the fact that synthetic diamonds are cheaper than real diamond since you claim so, or maybe you're confused with what is synthetic diamond and fake diamond.

im sure that synthetic diamonds are cheaper...they are used in cutting tools or tools to polish diamonds

hrm.. so for colour vice... ABCDEFGHI.... A denotes the best and the rest follow suit....

what about all those VVS1 VVS2..... how to differentiate
