i have had nightmares of eating human flesh for the past few days. Must have been the work of a certain thread.

well ... depending on the views, I think jewellery makes pretty good investments .....

they have intrinsic value, are easily to carry, easy to dispose of ... and goes up in value during a recession .....

so ... maybe buying wifey a $30k ring isn't really money down the drain after all ....

i thought diamonds don't go up in value?

harlo, diamond ain't good investments... u r talking abt gold here...

av98m SG

yup, he'd have better returns buying gold.

gold usually falls in value during good times and skyrockets when the economy collapses

the Bear SG

diamonds do not hold their value...

because they aren't actually worth that much before they reach the jewellers anyway..

the jewellers then scalp you before killing people and setting them on fire...

Fatum SG

i thought diamonds don't go up in value?

yes they do ....

when inflation strikes, that and precious metals are the only thing that holds their value ...

look at any place with hyper inflation or super recession .... your mansions are worth nothing, your cars are worth nothing, but the little baubles on the fingers would get you through ....

so yeah ... I think it's not completely a waste of money ... if given to the right dearling ..... it's like a rainy day insurance policy you can stare at every day ....

if you talk about aesthetics alone, I've always preferred colored stones, and sapphire is certainly a heck lot cheaper than diamond.

actually i don't even need a ring. i mean, it's just a ring.

tare SG

fat fat... diamond ain't worth nothing lah... >.<

av98m SG

heh. I like the plain designs..like the type where you have a single tiny diamond inlaid into the ring..so nothing is sticking out at all. saw it in some japanese drama I watched recently.

Fatum SG

harlo, diamond ain't good investments... u r talking abt gold here...

no, same thing ... one of my aunt's in the trade ....

if you want to get diamonds for investments, don't go for fancy cuts, make sure it's not "chipped" (with flaws inside) ... go for the best grades, and make sure it comes with a cert ...

it's the perfect "pack in a purse and run" kind of thing .... much lighter than gold ... a fortune in diamonds can be carried in a purse, an equivalent fortune in gold in a suitcase would be too heavy to carry ....

Its usually because of the settings and the design that the jewellers charge very expensive..

av98m SG

seems fatum is always very prepared for war

SpeedStar SG

Had a thunderstorm here and can see lighting flying here and there...some of the areas had their power shut down bcos of this sudden thunderstorm. The view from the car was amazing yet scary and I was thinking I am lucky for not getting strike by the lighting. Must be all the good things I have done recently lol

Fatum SG

neways bear's right .....

come to think of it, i won't even know what to do with the ring since i can't wear it during my workouts, yoga or pole dancing. it'll probably get misplaces - and a 30k "misplacement" is no small deal.

its not just a girl thing....

look at the money some men spend on branded watches!!! my friend recently bought a new watch for nearly 20k >.<

watches are the only jewellery men can wear without looking like fags I guess.

av98m SG
