Do you prefer diamonds or pearls?

Question

Personally ,  I prefer pearls. Propose to me with a pearl please. I mean diamonds are all sparkly and glamorous yes... but pearls seem much more sophisticated and elegant. I guess my go-to earrings are diamond studs or silver hoops. However, if i were to marry, i rather be covered in pearls and wear a pearl on my finger every day after.

Pearls all the way! Pearl necklaces, pearl earrings and rings. These are the sort of things I like.

Your baroque freshwater pearl. I love these irregular shaped pearls for necklaces and even earrings.

I love these rings as well as they look simple snd dainty.

Not sure what this ring is but I always look at it when I go into town and I just think it’s GORGEOUS. My dream engagement ring.

I prefer pearls, I think they're more classy able to fit with everything while diamonds can quickly look tacky if not worn correctly or not wearing the right diamond accessory. Though diamonds are expensive, I think pearls are more valuable since no pearl is really the same due to the fact that it's basically generated by an oyster.

I worked as a jeweller a few years ago. Pearls are attractive, but incredibly fragile. If I was asked (and I was a few times) about setting a pearl in a ring I always advised against it. You don't realise how often you knock your hand into things every day. Any blow can be enough to shatter a pearl. Don't get me wrong, natural pearls - as opposed to cultured - are rare and beautiful, just much better as a necklace, pendant or earrings. A single pearl as a pendant set as the centre of a flower with pear-cut yellow diamonds as the petals would be an exquisite gift for a bride, but not as an engagement ring.

I will never understand women's taste in jewelry. We have black opal, that shimmers like a nebula and is exceedingly rare compared to diamonds and pearls, yet it is ignored. We have meteoric iron that is literally from a meteor from space itself having drifted through the void for eons only to land here and its pattern is completely unique to it just as its origins are, yet you go for silver and gold? You have dominican amber which is golden in color as long as light passes through both sides but when you place it against a back drop of black it becomes a brilliant blue, but again, you choose the expensive but ultimately mass produced and common and uninteresting gems instead? That is bizarre to me and I will never understand it.

i prefer pearls. cause they're actually priced for what they're worth and not involved with monopolies and crimes against humanity.

there's a huge missconception about the value of diamonds, basically singlehandedly established and perpetuated by De Beers. in certain countries, diamonds litterally just lie around on the ground to pick up. they are not a rare resource globally by all means. but that one company has effectively a monopoly and controlls global prices and litterally kills people that will try and collect diamonds to sell them under their price. that's basically what the term and the movie "blood diamonds" is about. that's the only reason diamonds are expensive. not cause they're crazy rare and therefore inherently valuable.

I think pearls look nicer as necklaces, diamonds look better as rings, and depending on the outfit they both can be stunning as earrings.

Sorry sweetie, I am really not into jewelry, I guess I just think that I would rather have 10,000 wisely invested than have a Diamond ring! Although I prefer the aesthetics of diamonds over pearls, I would rather have a $250. CZ engagement ring and a $9,750 money market account!

I’m not a jewelry type girl I never know where to shop and end up getting silver earrings of Santa muerte or fuckin guns 😂 very grunge but I as well like pearl earrings since I think it is classy but it would be in my comfort zone of not being too glam and flashy. Suits me :3

Jjpayne · Answer

I'd say diamonds for me... But I'm also a guy so 😂 but as a girl I think I'd still like the diamonds simply because they seem sexier... Pearls are gorgeous but they always seem old fashioned to me... Diamonds feel newer and sexier... But to your point, I can see how pearls could be sexy too 🤔

RawaajUK · Answer

I prefer diamonds because they have a special look and they are always attractive but if you don't have the money to buy real diamonds, you can try some  .

Smoothing · Answer

If you are referring to jewelry, then neither appeal to me but if you are speaking of wealth, I would go for diamonds most definitely. Pearls seems to me a sentimental and traditional romantic gesture from a man to a woman and seems to have a high signifcance in that regard than diamonds. But it will not feed my ass. Diamonds will.

Wiredone · Answer

You better not buy your own engagement ring. You can pick it out and show it to your boyfriend but let him buy it. It doesn't matter to me either way. It's whatever the woman likes.
Did this question originate from my "diamond" comment to you

dragoblack · Answer

How about going to a public mine or sifting river to fine a gem stone. There are places you pay a small fee, rent equipment, and spend the day together finding gemstones.
Cheaper than buying one, you both spend some together and you may possibly find a gemstone or more, worth a huge amount

Hmmm... carbon which has been subject to extreme pressure and heat or a bit of grit which has been covered in mucus?

I prefer amethyst personally, especially a big geode but that doesn't fit on your finger.

I had a lot of pearls when I was a child and young teen but they just always break one way or another so it's annoying. I can't count how many pearls my parents have bought me and who have broken.

p e a r l s is a girl’s best friend ☺️ But I don’t like the baesic pearls look, I’m more about styles by the way it’s design that stands out and still look feminine & chic but fashionable ~

Pearls cause they come from a creature and are not just another rock at the end of the day. Also they don't catch on fire if ya dump them in liquid nitrogen.

Whilst I’m not bothered about either, given the choice I’d choose diamonds every time. They hold their value and pearls are practically worthless.

flamiE · Answer

Diamonds. Pearls are too classy and don’t go well with everything lol I don’t have a lot of jewellery but the little I have is pretty versatile.

ftewolde · Answer

This is such a “rich” question, it is beyond my capability to answer. I’ve never even been in close proximity to either of them.

Alyssa11 · Answer

This is one of the hardest questions I’ve had to think of. I still don’t have answer because I seriously love both!
