Did you ever hear Larry the Cable Guy do his take off on DeBeers? (I think it was him.) Totally hysterical!
Having been married 22 years and having only a plain gold band (no money back then for anything else), I am toying with the idea of a ring "enhancement" as it's called.
If I take the plunge, I will be getting synthetic stones, not cubic zirconia but lab stones. I personally can't tell the difference and the synthetic stones I can afford are actually better looking than natural diamonds in my price range.
This way, I can spend more on updating my setting. So, not all women are dying for the real thing. Actually, when you think about it, diamonds aren't all that pretty compared to colored stones.
It's Ron White who does it. He says it's close to truth in advertising. DeBeers keeps changing their slogan.
It was first "Diamonds.. are forever."
Then it was "this year, take her breath away."
"Diamonds.. render her speechless."
Well why don't they just come out and say it.
"Diamonds.. That'll shut her up......for a minute."
