I don't want to be flashy or gaudy, especially in a place like Poland where life is much simpler. I never want to be known as the "spoiled American girl". Thanks for the example of your friend, I will keep that in mind.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820415812018249417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408968027458934444.post-2274708761513955062008-03-19T04:41:00.000-07:002008-03-19T04:41:00.000-07:00I think the key to having a lab created diamond is...I think the key to having a lab created diamond is to keep it small. I know some are tempted to go for a giant 3 ct. but to me that screams "I'm a fake". <BR/>I do know a woman who regrets her less than real ring. I think they had an understanding that it would be upgraded to real after a few years, but due to kids and a house (both very costly)etc. They could not afford a real diamond the size of the fake one, so it had never been replaced. It ended up being a disappointment to her.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969444943134589153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408968027458934444.post-16570974534334495682008-03-18T10:07:00.000-07:002008-03-18T10:07:00.000-07:00ally-I can't wait to see what you plan for your ow...ally-I can't wait to see what you plan for your own wedding, it's going to be so alternative and chic I think. I know that your fam thinks it's ridiculous that you don't want a real diamond, but after seeing the children working in the mines, how could you ever want to support that?Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820415812018249417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408968027458934444.post-69784712091506574612008-03-18T00:39:00.000-07:002008-03-18T00:39:00.000-07:00hi jenna! i followed you over to this blog too. i ...hi jenna! i followed you over to this blog too. i love it. it is slowly starting to get me excited for my own wedding (someday). i appreciated this post because i have very strong feelings about diamond rings and ALWAYS appreciate talk of the alternatives. i can't wait to see what you come up with.allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811859990823819543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408968027458934444.post-26963360160096842262008-03-17T21:05:00.000-07:002008-03-17T21:05:00.000-07:00claysjenna-I love the idea of changing your old di...claysjenna-I love the idea of changing your old diamond into something sentimental when you upgrade. If I ever upgrade, and I do end up getting a gemstone instead of something fake, I will turn that old stone into a sweet 16 ring for one of my daughters. I love recycling things.<BR/><BR/>allison-thanks for helping to ease my mind about not regretting the choice ot go fake, I hadn't even considered how great it will be to not have to be stressed about losing the stone (like so many other women I read about). I think that 30 day return policy will come in handy, ordering something so expensive without trying it one is so scary.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820415812018249417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408968027458934444.post-36223500242792405472008-03-17T18:27:00.000-07:002008-03-17T18:27:00.000-07:00Hey Jenna-My ring is from Diamond Nexus Labs and I...Hey Jenna-<BR/>My ring is from Diamond Nexus Labs and I have really liked it- I like not being terrified of losing a diamond and I have only had it for 9 months but I haven't had any discoloration or anything...It has been a really great ring and I've been happy with it. But- I would be nervous about ordering a ring online without trying it on- Diamond Nexus has like a 30 day return policy so that's nice too...<BR/>Good luck!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812045824975393010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408968027458934444.post-21988710446089278142008-03-17T12:37:00.000-07:002008-03-17T12:37:00.000-07:00Ya know I feel somewhat the same way about rings. ...Ya know I feel somewhat the same way about rings. I have a gorgeous ring dont get me wrong, but its not HUGE. I am not even sure if it is even a carat. (I think its like 7/8ths) But I love it. And to me, its perfect!! I dont think the amount of money in a ring shows love at all...rather a lust and worldy greediness :) I wouldnt have minded a huge ring...but I love my ring!! And if I ever upsize my ring, my diamond will become a pendant that I wear around my neck...too much sentimental value:)ClaysJennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14176435383624051974noreply@blogger.com
