I was reading the talking abouts diamond to people in real life thread and a few people made reference to diamonds being a luxury item. I do agree that most people aren''t able to buy huge beautiful diamonds whenever they please but I also don''t think that diamonds are for only the wealthy. Its all about what you value and what you want to spend your money on.
I am a stay at home mom and my husband is a teacher so we all know that I don''t have tons of cash floating around. I have a 1.25 ct. solitaire with a few diamonds around it and of course people act as if its the biggest thing they have ever seen(mine doesn''t even come close to a lot of rings on ps) and try to tell me that we must make a lot of money and that rich people have rings like these. Its like they are trying to make me feel guilty or something. But the way I see it I would rather have a nice wedding set than anything else and we sacrificed other things in order to get it. I compare it to people buying new cars, boats, ginormus homes and expensive trips. Are any of these things necessary? No. Do a lot of people enjoy these things and are they willing to spend their money to have them? Yes.
You could also argue that these things are a luxury and only available to people who have money. I know of a family who drives run down old vehicles, their house has been under renovations for the 7 years that I have known them, and they are constantly asking to borrow a few bucks for gas. But they don''t miss their annual trip to Disney World or their other yearly vacation of choice! Its all about what is important to people...and diamonds are important to me damn it!
