>Jewelry store with my fiance
>Dude in a suit tries to sell me a ring
>"Now let's talk about the 4 C's"
>Oh I'm sorry I'm not looking for a diamond, what with the cost and everything, why would I spend hard earned money on literal carbon that's not actually very rare, it's just locked in a vault somewhere
>The guy runs away from me
>None of the salespeople want to come near me
>Go to the low end side of the store
>Have to loudly call over someone to help us
>Commission a sweet manufactured sapphire in rose gold engagement ring (with diamonds in the setting)
>2 weeks later, pick it up
>$450
>Most I've ever spent on jewelry
>Later, buy literal gold wedding rings from Costco
