More Money Than Brains

This is one of my mother’s favorite sayings (another is “I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck, you know”). I’m reminded of it because I did a search for “expensive engagement rings,” just to see how expensive they could possibly get. Now, I suppose the sky’s the limit, and in truth, any given item could be worth untold amounts of money if someone is willing to pay that much.

I found an article detailing some of the world’s most expensive rings, at least at the time of the post. In addition to one that went for about $600,000, I found that celebrities are all about the yellow fancy diamonds (or is that fancy yellow diamonds?). But they also just like color and spending money. From the blog, engagement101mag, at wordpress:

Soccer star David Beckham kicked a goal into the heart of wife and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham with an appropriately posh pink diamond ring. Are you thinking pink, too? Check out this Secret Kiss of the Rose Ring from De Beers. The piece features 4.15-carat rose-cut white diamonds and a 0.8-carat pink diamond, set in platinum. Just try not to turn pink from the price: $525,000.

 

 

 

 

 

Now, maybe I’m old-fashioned, but is that really the imprint you want to leave on a guy’s forehead, in a bar fight? I don’t think so.

(Many thanks to engagement101mag.blogspot… I didn’t ask before I stole the above text, so I’m hoping that “thank you” and “I promoted your blog!” will suffice.)
