There is no fucking way you bought a 1 carat IF color G stone from walmart. No fucking way.

Maybe it's part of Walmart's evolution into a store that sells everything consumers could possibly buy?

You must have some REALLY high quality walmarts near you. Everyone I've even been into has the cheapest, shittiest jewelry in the world.

LoL, you guys are funny, either that or your sarcasm meters need new batteries.

Yes, it's a mined diamond.

Yes, it's a carat G-IF.

No, I didn't actually buy it at Walmart for $5.

No, I don't even know who is Jared.

No, I don't know what the setting is called, but my GF calls it "breath taking". The picture doesn't do its justice.

Dammit... I guess that all of those jewelery store commercials that they show during the two weeks before Valentine's Day DO work :(

That shit must've been pretty good this past weekend, eh? Funny how when the crotch gets thumping, the heart gets thumping too. ;) If we men were programmed like women, (have the ability to think solely w/the big head...not that women have the little head...:confused: ) there'd be no more marriages, ever.

I will never buy a woman (because I will never have the opportunity) a diamond.

We have a lot of different types here, so I have to ask this:

Is that a FINGER ring?

i agree. but as 33 said, to each his own.

OP, why IF? I was talking with a guy at Bailey Bank and Biddle and he told me IF diamonds arent worth it. a normal person cant tell the difference between a VVS1 and IF diamond even under a loupe (all else being equal)

but congrats (oh how ive change my tune after I bought a diamond engagement ring for my fiance)

They... eh, made me an offer I couldn't refuse. But this is one of those thing that the picture doesn't really do its job. In person it's a much more sophisticated, intricate and brilliant than what's shown. It's what I could do with my limited photography skills and equipment.
