Remember Cracker Jack Wedding Rings?

In UK, the budget department store Marks & Spencers is selling a wedding ring for $25.00.

It's not even made out of precious metal, but of tin plated with platinum, and with fake diamonds:


Faux.


For you youngsters out there, Cracker Jack brand caramel corn used to come with real toy surprises in each box, the most popular toy for girls was, of course, a wedding ring. Boys (at least in the 60's) usually got little plastic whistles or miniature pinball games.

    Because nothing says "undying love" like vapor plate and zirconium!

    Only Americans seem to place such value on chunks of carbon.

    DeBeers has a monopoly on the entire world supply of diamonds, and the prices are kept artificially high.

    For compressed carbon.

    Look at European ladies. Their wedding rings will generally be gold.
