Anonymous Coward User ID: 625211 United States 04/12/2009 08:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Recession hits New York brides [link to www.upi.com] Recession hits New York brides Published: April 12, 2009 at 1:29 PM NEW YORK, April 12 (UPI) -- Brides in New York appear to be among the victims of the recession, with retailers saying more grooms are buying cubic zirconia rings instead of diamonds. New York Diamond District retailers said an increasing number of would-be husbands are purchasing the fake diamonds for their brides' engagement rings to save money during the economic downturn, the New York Post reported Sunday. "There are people who will buy a setting and put a CZ in it for now, hoping to replace it later," private jeweler Shella Eckhouse said of the recent trend. more at link Last Edited by SPUD on 11/30/2011 11:05 PM

Now it's closer to $10,000," she said. Ackerman added that not all brides appear to be happy with the cost-cutting measures of their potential spouses. "The women are little hostile about it," Ackerman told the Post. "They have been waiting a long time for a ring!" Quoting: Anonymous Coward 625211 God, please hit reset, soon. Yours Truly!

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 625211 That's what's wrong with these bitches today. They don't give a shit about the guy, it's all about the bling. I can understand why men won't marry these women, and instead live with them.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 625211 Why would anyone want a two-carat diamond? That's gaudy! Last Edited by Poof on 04/12/2009 09:16 PM

If that were to break down, the price of diamonds could collapse tomorrow. Even a $10K ring could dive to $2K. Crazy to put big $$ into something that has a value created by market supply fictions.

"I am selling Love, not diamonds" ... If the love is there then she would be happy with a Cubic Z A couple of years ago just out of my separation I was dating a great woman who for some strange reason fell madly in love with me. I didn't have much money, coming out of the separation and with child support issues, and she just flat out told me that a Cubic Z was fine with her!! As far as she was concerned she just wanted a nice setting because the ring was for others to see ... it wasn't about the amount of money I spent on her, but the love it represented. Unfortunately I decided it was WAY too early after my separation and I sort of bolted for the door, but as far as I am concerned her attitude about a ring is how EVERY WOMAN who REALLY LOVES her man should feel. It is NOT about the money spent ... but about the symbolism that the ring represents.
