It was one of the most beautiful b'nei mitzvot I've ever attended, and definitely less pressure on the kid.<br /><br />Ariella- I want my (entirely imaginary at this point) fiancee to pick out a ring in person. It seems impersonal to do it online and get it in the mail. I want him to give me a ring that he saw and thought of me, it seems harder to do that online. Then again, as long as I love the guy, the ring is totally tertiary. (Secondary is that my family likes him)<br /><br />Anon- I'd rather have a non-diamond stone than a synthetic ring. Just like I'd rather carry a less expensive purse than have a knock-off. It sort of feels intellectually more honest.Anniegetyourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04198222435895255867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34805796.post-61819077446025376152007-01-08T19:13:00.000-05:002007-01-08T19:13:00.000-05:00How do you feel about synthetic rings?

I just don't understand the ones up manship associated with weddings and jewelry and bnai mitzvot. The biggest party, the biggest rings don't mean they are the best and it shocks me that so many people well miss that point.<br /><br />I'd much prefer a simple and well thought out ring. <br /><br />Of course, I'd be thrilled about a fiance in general, forget the ring!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098754725520769133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34805796.post-70147315343475897362007-01-08T16:23:00.000-05:002007-01-08T16:23:00.000-05:00Diamonds- I've got a good friend who deals them an...Diamonds- I've got a good friend who deals them and is quite successful at it- and its a fascinating industry- but there is something about it, the one-upmanship of it that makes me crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34805796.post-5342421240919261952007-01-08T15:03:00.000-05:002007-01-08T15:03:00.000-05:00LT- not yet, but I've heard great things.
