So after Ordinary Thing’s latest video, I was reminded again how much I don’t care about diamonds, and actually the whole ‘present a ring and blah blah’ thing really doesn’t sit well with me.

I get that if I were to be in love enough to want to commit the rest of my life, I would want to demonstrate that effectively, but crystals stuck to a metal ring just doesn’t do it for me.

Like, maybe ‘here’s a life changing trip for just the two of us around south east asia’ or ‘come live in Latin America with me for 2 months’ or something that feels significant… Diamonds just aren’t it. Symbolic yes, I get it.

Am I alone feeling this way?

    Here, I assembled a comparison image. They’re pretty similar in normal light, but moissanite shines like a motherfucker :)

        No, it’s attached. I’m on kbin though, so it’s probably some inter-instance communication issue. Added a link to it in the body.
