[ringsunder100]

Very informative! thanks

[isobodari1]

how romantic

[BeergamoT]

Diamonds are murderers!

[naturalbrilliant]

****check our store to see enagagement ring collection

[Masqueradia]

...I don't want a diamond engagement ring... Just a ring with both our birthstones ( commonly called a "Mother Ring" or "Family Ring" ) is far more my tastes... diamonds mean nothing to me... but my birthstone and his? Yeah. And it's a hell of a lot cheaper considering the financial strain of a wedding...

[HazardousAmusement]

the comments on this video get pretty damn entertaining

[al0hebshi]

Man that's Damn HARD...

[digz1590]

This just got a lot more difficult than i thought

[FUDGEpedals]

looking for a ring is starting to be a pain in the ass. um ok what I've learned form this video is that it confused the shit out of me. fuckin microscopes to view diamonds n shit!!! wtf!?!? Can I just find one that looks good?

[1337DementedOne]

screw being romantic.

here's the reality: if you pay more than $100 for an engagement ring, you're a sucker, even if you're rich. incredible how many suckers give away billions of dollars on little pieces of carbon. jewelry stores are laughing on their way to the bank

if your fiance is unhappy with the ring, you shouldn't be getting married in the first place, because in that case her love of shiny things is greater than her love for you.

[tauremehtar]

I think that there are a lot of good advice in this video. Personally I don't want to be the one picking out the right. I want him to do it. My question is if there are many jewelers that will let you see loose diamonds? I heard that the commercial places don't. Anyone know anything about that?

[richclickerz]

Buy cheap and high quality diamond rings @

[HazardousAmusement]

@darkbug1234 don't forget to tell her it's a cubic zirconia

[purplish72886]

I'm sure most of the people complaining, are the ones that are cheap :)

[robedesign]

how interesting :)

[robedesign]

how interesting :)

[synnr666]

fucking retarded.

[mamatalu]

This was a very informative video. I find it interesting to know that the diamond is a key to soothe out many troubles, heartaches that a girl may have in a relationship. I think it is very useful to know this key. Just imagine other way around, if you a diamond did not have value or access to a woman's heart, how would you sort out things (which invariably go rough from time to time) in a relationship. Plus it definitely depends on the person. Your pick!

[mamatalu]

@lilhotie80squeen Diamond is Carbon. Not water (H2O).

[erothem]

Very well made video.

Thanks for sharing.

[darkbug1234]

[Mariocesar]

If u wanna save on a engagement ring..give your fiance a very small diamond ring and a magnifying glass

[1800MarryMe]

IT DOESNT MATTER ANY OF THIS BS IF YOU BUY A DIAMOND YOU LOSE HALF YOUR MONEY THE NEXT DAY!!!! TRY TO RESELL ONE THEY ARE WORTHLESS ROCKS THIS IS bs bs ABSOLUTE bS

[GiuseppeAlgeri]

very good I like this very much

[Seston]

this should be called, How To Be A Cheap-Ass Fiance

[Pootstank4]

LOL, you sicken me. why should love be valued by how big a fucking diamond is? where's the fine line between schmuck who bought his fiance a small diamond and schmuck who went waaaaaay beyond his bankroll for a piece of jewelry that is demanded because of sick fucking social conventions?

[lennic95]

NOOOOOOOOO! Cheesy american lady!!

[Caliboyz101139]

OMG!! this shit is hard!!

[bms2him]

I, too, dislike diamond engagement rings. I'd much rather have a simple pearl ring :)

[spixbat]

I dont think that you should get married if you can't even afford a decent ring... i mean it doesn't have to have diamonds but at least something on your finger thats lets people know youre taken...thats weird when married people don't have anything on

[7anya]

This video is useful if you want a diamond, but I know many girls including myself don't like diamond engagement rings. They're just so boring looking. I don't understand the allure of them. There are a good handful of girls who prefer a non-diamond engagement ring. I chose topaz and yellow gold. We spent 200 dollars or so on an antique ring at Alana's and it's very beautiful with vines all around the band (cut out and detailed). So don't assume to get a diamond!

[trustusyeahright]

i wish most girls were likt that, but it must be a small handful.

[PhuckHue2]

Make a real difference. Instead of buying these stupid carbon rocks, donate to Feed The Children and help a starving baby. Wouldn't that make you feel better?

[mrosmr]

I know!

Why don't you sell your house, car...all your junk and live in a tent? That should be enough to feed about a hundred of the hundred million starving people!

[PhuckHue2]

if you are going to debate a topic, try to make an intelligent statement. you dumb piece of shit

[fuckyoucibaikia]

LOL Phuckhue2! Did you really expect an intelligent debate from that dumb remark you made? Let me translate what mrosmr was trying to say to you since you obviously didn't get it :-

There's a time and place for everything.

And if you're too dumb to understand that, then please sell all your belongings and give the money to the poor. And please don't call us brainwashed. The only one brainwashed here is you. You've been brainwashed by a stupid hollywood movie you dumb piece of shit.

[PhuckHue2]

what a stupid tradition. Being in debt for thousands of dollars in not good way to start a marriage. that money would be better spent on a house or the children. money problems is the #1 reason for divorce

[Xavierr220]

But Phuck Giving an Engagement Ring to that one person you really love is what make's it worth wild esspecally when you see them scream and hug you in front of everyone its the best feeling you can have. And besides if you dont do it she will. She'll get you an Engagement ring then at that point you'll feeling really dumb not getting her one.

[PhuckHue2]

its all a lie. real love is not based on a stupid piece of carbon or anything material. People buy that junk to make them feel special and get noticed because they are insecure.

[ZangetsuZRW]

a thousand thanks for helping my with this.

[blossoms1977]

I agree with you the mechanical guy, but dont you think women out there deserves the most precious things in life? I got my fiancee an diamond engagement ring set from Goldia. com and it seems the online jewelers are not costing you as much as our local jewelers does.

[PhuckHue2]

Diamonds aren't precious. Its just a rock made out of carbon. You have been brainwashed to think it is precious. CHILDREN and FAMILY are precious

[mechanicalguy]

I feel bad caring about a frikkon diamond when people are starving in this damn world.

[PhuckHue2]

I agree 100%. I give to charity and rather help children than buy a stupid shiny carbon rock.

[XDolcineaX]

oooor, you can save yourself all of that trouble and get a cubic zirconium. as a natural resource diamonds are virtually worthless anyway, so why pay so much more for one? cubic zirconium looks the same and nobody had to die for it.

[princess4389]

thats stupid!!!! ask first then buy the ring, whats that for? to make sure that if she reject you you dont loose your money????

sooooooooooooo unromantic

[puccagreekgirl]

ok nice research but come on..... i can't imagine myself to look up with my boyfriend for the ring!!!it is the surprise that matters and the love of the person you are close to. not the prise or the cut of the diamond.were is the romance ?????

[GIA13615093]

the romance is on bed...

[GIA13615093]

excellent!

[ashflower]

This is way too much. My fiance got my engagement ring on eBay, and I don't care that it was way less than most people spend. In fact I'm proud of that. An engagement ring isn't about the size of the rock, it's about how much YOU like it, and how it fits your personality.

[purplesnails22]

Yeah does seem a bit much, id like a diamond thats visible, but if its there with other stones that wud be nice, or a cluster, iv always thought several little dimonds wud be far prettier than 1 big 1, and it's cheaper

[philwelch]

Better yet, propose in a way that *doesn't* increase the financial incentive for African slavers to work children to death mining in war zones in order to support warlords. There's nothing that says "I love you" like sponsoring the needless deaths of the people of Sierra Leone.

[idolly20]

lol and on that happy note, lets all get married!

[dead2thewind]

naa stick to tradition... big diamond ring.

[cypruschick]

Yawn... weddings bore me ... too much emphasis on money and not enough emphasis on the love!

[DragonSniper7]

the whole thing of marriage is so fucking expensive.

-you spend thousands on a diawedding ring

-you spend tens of thousands on the wedding

-then a few more thousand on the honeymoon

-then you have a huge debt

-and if your one of the unlucky 1/2 marriages that dont work, you got divorced because of financial sitautions (wonder how that happened?)

-then the guy is left unhappy with half his shit left, the bad half.

lol my chronoligical timeline of wat happens in 50% of marriages :

[dragaskeeper]

DragonSniper7--Hi meet Dragonkeeper3 This whole video is a crock. I think if you really look at what a wedding is suppose to be(The legal union of two people who want a loving companion on life's road)the diamond thing is redundant. I'm like a lot of women who don't need that particular sparkle to make my day. You sound bitter. With or without paper and with or without sparkle-- find someone who loves you for you and get on with your life. If that someone happens to be YOU so be it.

[DragonSniper7]

good luck with that lol, most women are after your money...

[dragaskeeper]

The "most women" you speak of are the ones YOU go for. There are alot of us out there that don't need all that shit. So lol at you if you keep making the same mistakes.I don't need someone for their money and I don't go for guys who need mine.

[DragonSniper7]

haha lol, no i dont go at all for those women. i dont go for any women that some, drugs, drink, or not virgin. And gotta be japenese.

By the way dumnass, assumption gonna get your ass kicked, which you have probally had experienced more than once (you should learn from your mistakes, ignorance is a bliss to some people i guess; hell you can stay an idiot for the rest of your life lol wont affect me).

[dragaskeeper]

good thing ass wipe--I've wasted enough time on you already...some folks just can't seem to get it. By the way--I don't assume, I intuit--and i've decided you're not worth the brain synapse energy I'm wasting even answering your ass.

[DragnSly]

fight! fight! fight! fight!

[DragonSniper7]

haha right dip-shit. In other words, i won this argument.

[dragaskeeper]

If that's the way you see it--that's the way we leave it!

[xoxoisabellaxoxo]

-sigh- .. wished someone would buy me one a huge diamond ring xD. thx for uploading this

[Ajeel06]

ummm.....why would you say that on youtube....you lonely bitch

[bigpinkthefirst]

ummm...why would YOU say that on youtube...young irrantionally angry gobshite

[ibm6789]

thanks for making this =D

[boxoffluffys]

i can make a wire back solataire from a bar of gold in 2 1/2 hours. that means i make all of 60$ on it. whole industry makes me sick.

diamonds are just a rock to me and have no value.other then for retailers to part fools from their money.

it my curse to have to make engagement rings for a living

[SkatinatorS]

I'd give my bitch a metal ring ant tell her that she's gonna marry me :)

[sinisterEnmity]

wow kid...you must be black if thats a serious response.

[SkatinatorS]

come on, that's racist... and no... I'm not serious

[rachgaffin]

lmao

[gemmi42]

*swoon*

[jm2trash]

Hopefully you've built up an immunity to pepper spray.

[candacel2883]

Wow every one here must have just watched Blood Diamond. Chill out its just about picking a ring, and I bet that this VJug was made before the movie. Everyone is so overly political sshesh.

[nanacrazyhorse]

im a little disappointed there wasnt anything about making sure you get a diamond from a credible source, one that doesnt use slave labor or mines in unsafe conditions.

[123Batesman123]

Aren't things like that illegal? I know that the slave labour is, and most mines would be entirely safe, if not then collapses would probably cost the company a lot of money. Stick with the present?

[nanacrazyhorse]

that is the common misconception. just because things like slave labor are illegal, doesnt mean they dont still happen. diamonds come from countries that do not have governments like ours that requires high standards of safety and adequate salaries. only a very small percentage of diamonds, if any, come from mines that have proper working conditions. i would really encourage you to look up the facts about where diamonds come from because i think you'll be pretty disgusted.

[jonnyboi2007]

Not buying them just means that it will get sold to someone else...

[alpsalish]

I got a degree in geminology. I'm a gemilogical PHD fool.

Yes, that's very true.

ummm go to africa, kill some fools, take over a mine, divert profits to murderous rebel gangs, overthrow the government, secure the capital, take dissenters, women, and children to work the mines. You'll have all the daimonds for rings forever!

Yeah, and they even got some of the info wrong.

[mistakened]

LOL, sounds like blood diamond. YOU MAKE ME LAUGH :P

[riben1]

nice lol! ^^

[Bendrum15]

Interesting ^^

[moletrap]

Wait.... this wasn't funny.  What the heck?

[m16a4a]

ummm go to africa, kill some fools, take over a mine, divert profits to murderous rebel gangs, overthrow the government, secure the capital, take dissenters, women, and children to work the mines. Youll have all the daimonds for rings forever!

[Eiko]

that will take years. just go buy one, and do it within an hour.

[Latinrunner963]

no that will cost money just rob a jewelry store at knife point

[m16a4a]

lol

[sugahcoatd]

me think itsa bit too....um...OVER THE TOP!@

[BabyButtaCup]

i love this! awesome

[silverdragonblood16]

if u love him, y does it matter?!

[brooke1990]

"diamonds are a girl best friends" ...

[YungJugganott]

shit, take the s off of dat.. 2,000 dollaz for a ring wit one stone?!?!? dat bitch goin to JCPenny or som shit.. shiiiiit

[dark420bishop]

Now this is more like it! Back to classic VideoJug goodness. Let's see more of this and less of the stupid stuff. ^__^

[1nazchan]

I can't tell if this is a joke or not >: P

[Seoch]

I personally when i someday pop the question, would want to have an Obsidian ring. of course, it would have to be wraped in a metal mesh because Obsidian is somewhat fragile, but honestly, thousands of dollars cheaper, and i like the idea of cooled lava blasted form a volcano more than super pressurized granite or whatnot. of course, i'm a guy so.... i only hope she would agree.

[ernonno]

if she loves you she will problably accept but obsidian? that is just....dosn't give the right impression, more like:

will you marry me?*shows the ring*

OMG yes!*looks at the ring* whats that?

[Seoch]

oh, she can get whatever she wants. let me correct that, she canwant wherever she wants, and we'll see what we can do. but what would I want? hell yes obsidian.

has nothing to do with hey or how much she loves me.

[ernonno]

hahaha well better to choose according to her taste.

[bessymouse]

Try moldavite. It's from meteorite crashes, even cooler. and it's rarer than diamond.

[bessymouse]

That was supposed to be a reply to Seoch. Stupid youtube.

[reasoniamalive2day]

I think you mean 'moissanite.' That's what my fiancee and I decided on getting. Its roughly 1/3-2/3 the price of a diamond the same size and is 2nd hardest only to diamonds...but they've got more sparkle to em...NICE!

[cmullins69]

He went to Jerads

[cloudxleon]

lmao I quoted that ad to my mom and she was like, "What are you talking about?" X3

[sekretsauce]

Better yet, if you have to buy a Diamond, buy a lab created one. No Blood, cheaper, bigger and made in America.

[amandarocksyoursocks]

Even better, don't feel pressured to spend thousands of dollars on a useless, worthless piece of shiny rock just to prove you love someone.

[Achronos14]

thats easy just get some cash and buy one

[toolovesomeone]

it's so funny when he pulls out his pockets ,,hhaa

[dukeofharuson]

I think some would think the Cz suggestion to be degrading ... one proposes upon the belief that it will be accepted!

[DutchGirl107]

Hm. Giving a ring with a diamond when you want to ask someone to marry you is so American. It's unusual to have a diamond in you ring in Holland, and people usually don't put the ring on until they get married. Most couples go to the store togheter, buy rings, and put them on at the wedding... When they ask someone to marry them, they don't bring the ring! What if the size is completely wrong?!

[dukeofharuson]

Ha "American"! Which way are you facing!

(But thanks for the info about Holland!)

[Ben01012]

A bunch of bitter, cheap guys commenting.

Girls like diamonds, so that`s what they get. It`s the sad truth in life

[amandarocksyoursocks]

I don't think a guy is cheap for not wanting to spend TWO MONTHS' salary on what is essentially a piece of polished rock, just because that's what the media has conditioned (most) women to want.

[ernonno]

tsk tsk tsk you know nothing. And anyway i don't see how it may cost 2 month of salary unless you have a job that gives you little money. And it's not just a piece of carbon, it's aged carbon ;) haha anyway it's a symbol stop complaining. If you are in love you want the best for her.

[amandarocksyoursocks]

No the so-called "traditional" way of working out how much to spend on a diamond is to spend two months' salary, regardless of income. So if you earn more, you're meant to spend more!

[ernonno]

hahaha well that's total bullshit, a diamond is nice only if not very big, you jsut spend how much you want to spend.

[FatalNoogie]

Any woman who has such an irrational material fixation that she would reject you if you don't buy her a big enough diamond, doesn't have sense enough to be worth marrying.

It's just a freaking transparent shard of carbon after all.

[Ben01012]

I dunno. I think that engagement rings have achieved a symbolism that makes it important in any traditional marriage. You don't need to buy one but I plan on it. Call me old fashioned ;)

[amandarocksyoursocks]

I just love how everyone thinks diamonds are so rare and people have been proposing with them for centuries. It really is a testament to just how the successful the DeBeers marketing campaign has been.

The phrase "diamonds are forever" was only coined in 1947, when diamonds were marketed as a symbol of love and committment. It's not a tradition, it's a very well-executed marketing ploy.

[xoxoisabellaxoxo]

well not all girls are interested in diamonds. some prefer different gems... like .. Swarovski.. <_< their pretty. but yeah i agree of wat u say about the cheep guys commenting.

[jm2trash]

Yeah, my friend's wedding ring has a ruby because she doesn't want to support the diamond trade.

[stacyl118]

Bullshit, you're dumb, superficial American women like diamonds. Even with your diamonds, you all still can't keep a marriage together. Screwed up family lives are overwhelming your kids in your country. Have fun with the gold diggery and divorce!

[bee0bee5]

You wish you had the oppurtunity to live in America ..the best place on EARTH.

[Pootstank4]

well said

[natatchka]

@stacyl118

people like diamonds because they are dumb

they THINK that a diamond will make a person love better another

MISTAKEN

everyone thinks engagement is sacred and in the end , everyone cuts off..

agreed with u

[sahid31390]

why don't girls get us something as expensive as a diamond? XD

[shrinkinglaura]

Ahh I don't want a diamond. My bf knows I'm all about the emeralds. :D

[shufk77]

damned diamonds

[ilovebutterfingers]

WTF

[noventar]

True love > a piece of carbon buying a diamond basically says "I'm brainwashed by the jewelry industry's commercials"

save the money, take her on a trip or something, unless she actually WANTs you to buy her a diamond, in which case you shouldn't marry her anyway

[cyspy]

Idiot. That's not the point.

If your woman wants some bling, it's just to look good. Wanting you to buy her jewelry, and not marrying you BECAUSE you wouldn't buy her jewelry is completely different.

[amandarocksyoursocks]

I couldn't agree more. Take the amount of money you would be willing to spend on a diamond, and tell your girlfriend you're going to spend it on something of VALUE (e.g donation to a charity or a deposit on a house). If she throws a fit, then I'd suggest someone so materialistic and easily manipulated by mass media is not someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.

[asianshell]

Wow, I never thought of that but yes... that is a good way of looking at it.

Sometimes it's status. Since the rule of thumb is to use 2 month's worth of salary for the ring, the bigger the rock, the more upper class she looks. And also, some people look at it as "Look at that girl's ring, the rock is huge! That lucky girl, he must really love her!"

[amandarocksyoursocks]

I can't think of anything more ridiculous than thinking you have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on something as useless as a diamond just to prove how you feel about someone.

[asianshell]

Oh, you'd be surprised. A lot of people won't admit it but deep down inside that's how it is. Of course, I can't speak for everyone and you are entitled to your opinion as well.

[kalaway]

diamonds are far from the only appropriate stone for an engagement ring. They don't hold their value, and other stones can be just as beautiful (or more so) without the price or shady background!

[marioman1004]

oh goodie just what i wanna give my gf, some overpriced piece of rock.

[PennyDropper]

Good stuff....

[scriptum60]

>_>

Just gimme me a cubic zirconia and we'll call it a day.

[pancake292]

very nice

[skittleschew]

nice

[SufficientxGrace]

Nice.

[kylethompson]

Nice vid (first :P)
