what matters is what you and your partner care about.

if its social acceptance in a culture that places a high value on gigantic diamonds, then you'll end up wasting a ton of money on a rock.

if its not, ... you're lucky

If you go real, look for something non-retail. There's a guy over on the 6speed forums who does amazing work for a lot less than what you'd pay at Blue Nile. I forget his screen name offhand, but if you're interested I'll look him up.

lab created diamonds are of equal quality to the best natural stones.. but I'd probably get a real one so I wouldn't feel guilty.

whats so wrong with fake diamonds if they get the job done...I guess I don't see it... Its like on our cars, the brakes aren't Brembo but they get the job done.
Using that logic then you may as well buy an 84 Fiero. It gets you from A to B so why buy something more expensive..

Lab stones are almost flawless. I'd rather she have something perfect.
