I swear when people say hot take it’s not hot but maybe I just agree with hot takes XD

me and my gf both agree if we get married, it’s not gonna be diamonds but some other colorful gemstone. I mean you got all these shiny sapphires, emeralds, rubies, even stuff like turquoise is pretty but no every wants the white gemstone

Hell I’ve even seen some women’s wedding rings out of this black steel in the spiral wavy pattern, the best way I can describe is the Celtic triad/trinity but using that pattern to make a ring

Anyway point being I think diamonds are really pretty but also kind of boring compared to other colors, maybe as accent gemstone if we ignore the price because shiny

I mean, I'm married and neither me or my partner have a ring.

Some people propose with cheap plastic rings, or even without any rings.

It should not be about jewelry

I got our engagement rings from a gumball machine. And I didn't even pay for those myself because I didn't have the necessary 20 Cent coins. A passerby gave me three and didn't accept a Euro in return.
