I think I'm going to get my future wife a cubic zirconia or a moissanite (artificial diamond) in an 18K White gold band. If she ever finds out it isn't a true diamond I'll tell her "I didn't want real diamond because it fuels wars and conflicts in poor countries - F*ck DeBeers.

If I'm still married to her 2 days after she finds out...

Women know nothing about diamond except it can cut glass. So long as an artificial cuts glass she'll think she has the real deal. ]]>Oct 3rd 2007 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/but if the true market price of diamonds was actually in practice, the market would go find some other semi-precious stone to put in an engagement ring. Price fixing is funny like that, as well as perceived value.

I'm sure in true market value a 1 carat diamond is probably like $50.

as for that box... lol @ the "my proposal" bullet selection.]]>Oct 4th 2007 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/

I was actually referring to Doom the Japanese thrash metal band by former Zadkiel members Takashi and Koh.

As far as the whole "diamonds are evil" thing I really don't care my wife's wedding ring cost me 15k and it was worth every penny. I guess I could have bought some cheap knock off diamond like thing but that just isn't my style. It's like saying that she's not worth the real thing so I got her this cheaper thing instead sorry but she's worth more to me than that. I don't care where the diamond came from or what it took to get it I just care about the end result. Just like I don't care how the chicken or cow is killed just so long as my dinner tastes good. This may make me a bad person to some but I really only care about what one person on this spinning muddball thinks of me and she loves me very much.]]>Oct 4th 2007 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/
That has to be the most socially irresponsible thing I've ever heard. What if you're wife decided her mother in law was an old hag? Would you just ditch your mother just cause that one person on this spinning mud ball told you to do it?

Your wife may think that diamond is awesome but it just shows how dumb your wife is. Shes nothing but a rodent amazed by a shiney object, regardless of how many people died so some nation that makes ethnic genocide and mass murder part of its daily routine could get more money to continue its "cleansing" campaign. A diamond doesnt say how much you're willing to spend on your wife. If you buy your wife a diamond ring and live in a shack and take the bus, you didnt spend any more than someone whos wife has a plain white gold wedding band and lives in a house.

But thank you. Thank you for my daily dose of 'My fellow American is a near sighted, self involved person willing to step over thousands of other people just so I can have my life marginally better'. That really made my day.

hyperbole galore, yes I admit it. But show some shame. Seriously.]]>Oct 4th 2007 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/
Isn't that attitude the very definition of evil?]]>Oct 4th 2007 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/"But thank you.

I'm not American (I'm English)so your little rant there was a little misdirected. Also I don't live in a "shack" and I have never taken the bus, I have a very nice house and two cars. Lastly my mother is dead hence the reason I said I only care what my wife thinks of me since she is the only person on this planet I care about.

I'm sorry you have something against the diamond industry but the whole African diamonds are bad excuse is not a very valid one. Because not all diamonds come from Africa a good number of the best ones come from Alaska. And you can ask where the diamonds you plan on purchasing came from and specify ones that don't come from Africa.]]>Oct 4th 2007 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/
P.S. proposing by way of a video that starts playing on the screen of the box that you left on her desk, the moment she opens it. Nerdy, yet kind of cool! Easier for her to weasel out of it though.]]>Oct 4th 2007 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/
Claiming that a $98 ring says "I don't think you're worth more than $98" implicitly means that a $15,000 says "I don't think you're worth more than $15,000".. Sure, 15k can seem like a lot of money, but seriously, it's nothing. I would never sell my love for that cheap.. Would you?
(No, I'm not being serious, just pointing out the flaws in your infantile argument.)

If we all start talking about wars and how many people die in the cultivation and transportation of a real diamond, I will go back to this quote about measuring love in dollars or pounds. You must consider that everyone knows exactly what goes into obtaining diamonds, and in that case, love is not only measured in dollars and pounds-- but additionally in bloodshed and brutality. By purchasing a diamond for a loved one, you are saying that you care for them enough to kill for them, and directly fund and order these actions to prove this kind of dedication to her.

Also, just to clarify to everyone that has this arguement that manmade diamonds are just as "real" as ones from DeBeers (because that seems to be the only company anyone cares to say anything about), the definition of a diamond is that it must be naturally crystallized. NATURALLY MEANS NOT MANMADE.

Chemical makeup is not a determinator of value. Perception is reality. There is no reality other than the perceived reality, and age and natural creation yields more significance. Think about perception.]]>Oct 4th 2007 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/
This was great to read. as next time I hear a European go off on an America-bashing tirade, I can consider his first shallow post, and their love of David Hasselhoff, as an indicator of how valuable their opinions actually are. it's great to return the favor of generalizing... ]]>Oct 4th 2007 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/Oct 4th 2007 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/Oct 4th 2007 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/
Now that IMO is the perfect type of woman. It's not often that you can find a woman like that, especially in America. Honestly I think that if your fiance/girlfriend/wife thinks your relationship status depends solely on the quality of diamond you hand her then she is shallow trash, or a gold digger. I'm not at all saying that spoiling her is dumb, by all means you should spoil her. I always find time to spoil my wife with flowers, spontaneous trips to new and romantic places, on certain occasions & events, and other many various ways. It's when they "Expect" these things or else you are in the "dog house" is where i draw the line. Those kind of women can never be pleased. They're the type that if they can't get that kind of 'spoiling' from you they will find someone else who can, or fantasize about that person.

The only good kind of woman, from my experience, is the type that appreciates you for who you are not how much you are willing to spend to prove your worth to her. Don't waste your time with people like that. It's just not worth your time, your hard earned money, and health (stress).

GOing back to the original subject I think this is a quite interesting concept that might actually sell well to the tech savvy world.]]>Oct 4th 2007 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/euris-multimedia-ring-box-for-nerds-who-want-wives/
And, I still stood my ground and said we needed to think about it, and I couldn't stop thinking about it and we came back and got it the next day and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!

I look at it all the time and it winks and sparkles and it will last forever.

Especially since I don't wear a lot of jewelry the fact that I have one beautiful piece that was purchased with love and promise of a joyful life together makes me really happy.

It is not big and it is not ostentatious, but it is beautiful. Sooo, don't be cheap asses!!!]]>Oct 8th 2007 11:18PM
