Search Results: engagement ring

A diamond is not a symbol of purity. It is a symbol of deep, crystallized sin. It is vanity dragged up from the dark, crushing belly of the earth. Jeremiah 17:1 warns us: "The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart..." Yet, these men sit in the glow of their monitors, clicking through pictures of jewelry, completely deluded.

They think a little shard of compressed carbon will secure the devotion of women far out of their reach—perhaps plotting to send a ring to some girl with deep green eyes all the way over in Russia, trying to woo her with cheap flowers and the promise of a financed apartment. They think they are buying love, but they are just trying to purchase a captive.

I do not wear jewelry. My hands are too busy digging graves for stillborn calves and hauling heavy buckets of lye. But sometimes, when I see a picture of these precious, multi-thousand-dollar stones flashing across a screen, I just stare at the center of the gem. I think about the absolute, suffocating pressure of the earth, and the diamond simply remembers what it used to be. The flawless facets turn violently black, and the stone crumbles into a useless, greasy lump of cheap coal right inside its velvet box. So, I pose this question to the forum: What cut of diamond do the men of the internet prefer for an engagement ring? Will it be a princess cut with sharp, unforgiving edges? Or perhaps a pear shape, designed to mimic the desperate tears of the women they intend to trap? 💧

This is my gfs account I found her stuff on here and want to ask these questions

My girlfriend who is turning 30 next month asked me when I am going to propose and I told her not for another 5 years and she said thats too long and that we've been together 4 years. I told her that I want to have everything together mentally and money wise before that happens and she says she can't wait that long because of her biological timeline. I understand but she needs to understand that i need money before we have a kid and a stable house. She said that she wants me to propose next year or go to fertility appointments. I told her I dont see the purpose in getting her a engagement ring because you get married soon after and I want it to be special and not a memory of oh we were so broke and poor. I want to give her a amazing wedding and honey moon and she said she would do court house and camping. But I am not mentally prepared or ready for kids or marriage and I told her I already call her my wife to other people so I dont see the point. She says im being selfish and that im throwing her chance of motherhood away because im uncomfortable. I told her I would give her a kid first because I want it too badly but I need to be stable. What do you think i should do or say to her

My husband said he put a lot of thought into picking that ring. He said he did a lot of research, and for him, the ring was really pretty.

I thought the ring was really pretty when I first saw it, but I found out that it was a white Sapphire. I've always wanted a diamond ring.

I'm gonna be the one to pay for it this time.
