朋友笑，lucy是伊见过最怪的女人，lucy完全不爱钻石。
钻石有什么好爱的？
化学成分无非就是碳，说穿了就是纯碳。
属于地球的矿物质中的一种。
要知道，世界上已知的石头（矿物质）有将近4000种（还不包括亚种）。
女生手指上不戴上这么一大块石头，就不肯嫁？
拜托，他再给你买个大到n＋＋克拉的，又有何用？
他爱你多久不会因为这石头大小而恒定。
结婚之日，戴块和麻将牌一样大的钻石，又能怎样，还得小心明贼暗匪。
离婚之日，无非可以把石头当进当铺换点通货纸币。
爱情在当铺里，彻底贬值，附加变质。
真正钻石般璀璨的日常生活爱情，不是他有多少钱，他赚多少钱，而是他的钱有多少是心甘情愿给你用的。
你戴着璀璨钻石，却没有爱情滋润，那叫摧残，注定人老珠黄，美人迟暮。
de beers 的广告宣传，一颗恒永久。
太真实了，你死翘翘了，那颗石头还会自由自在地存在下去。
究竟，是你拥有过这颗石头，还是你被这颗石头拥有过呢？
从大连飞上海的飞机上，我和nancy解释我的钻石和粪土理论。
我说，在地球上，我们膜拜钻石，可能换了一星球，它们的生物拉的排泄物，就是钻石。也就是说，我们把别人星球的粪便热爱为价值连城。
换言之，说不准，还有哪个外星星球上的人，正没事拿我们的日常粪土，当daily cream天天往脸上摸，以求靓丽肌肤。
nancy说，天呀，受不了你。
上次在香港，帮sara去钻石店，修理她坏掉的钻石耳针。
店里的小姐，满脸笑意，‘小姐，要不要看一下我们的新到钻石？’
我也满脸笑意，‘不好意思，本小姐平生最憎钻石。’
卖钻的小姐，嘴型成o状。
我家mr. tea也花心血，曾经瞒着我，专门精挑细选了一颗钻，再专门定制，外加铭刻隽永文字在戒指内。
其实，我觉得他很可怜，因为我勒令他把那块石头给我卖了。
然后，他只好卖了。
我实在对钻石没乐趣。情愿把钞票花在下次去极地旅行，拥吻北极熊。
可是，最汗颜的说，我却缺不了钻石。
因为每次去national glass centre上玻璃课时，我都必须拿了钻石刀，割玻璃。
不得不承认，割玻璃，挺好玩的。

Diamond Ring
Special Diamond Engagement Ring for my Fiancee.
Met all the right criteria, EXCEPT...Does my fiancee like diamonds...NO!
1. Look for a 'loose' Non-Conflict diamond. Conflict diamonds also called Blood
Diamonds (a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio tells the story of one such diamond)
are diamonds from an area where people are killed for such treasures.
2. The diamond has to have a balance of the 4 C's (colour, carat, clarity and
cut). The whiter the colour, the better the diamond. The heavier (carat being
size/weight), arguably is better. The clarity (how many imperfections are
visible by the naked eye, and also by the electron microscope) determines the
quality of diamond further. Fewer imperfections, the better. And finally, the
cut...how the diamond is cut, allows the diamond to shine. Not only is the
diamond cut a specific way.style - like round brilliant (traditionally the one
that allows the diamond to shine most), or princess cut (square) or marquise cut
(like an eye) but also, if a diamond is cut incorrectly, the light does not
refract inside the diamond properly and so does not sparkle properly, so it need
to be cut evenly by a professional diamond cutter. Why do people go to
Switzerland for a Suisse watch? Because they know it will be made to the
highest standards possible. Similarly with a diamond, if you get it cut by a
Professional and that diamond is certified by the Gemmalogical Institute of
America or similar diamond association, you will know it is a top notch diamond.
3. It needs to be set in platinum for maximum hardness and durability. the
purest quality of platinum also.
4. Hand inscripted inside the band is also desirable.
5. Latin inscription makes it even more special.
6. About a month's salary is the amount suggested to spend on an engagement
ring, afterall, your fiancee should choose you for being a romantic, but also
for being practical too...if you can spend £15,000 on an engagement ring for her
(it's just a rock at the end of the day), then she may worry about your
extravagant spending habits when you choose to re-mortgage the house and buy
that Ferrari you always wanted...so, yes, a month's salary is a nice,
affordable, not too cheap amount to spend on a ring.
So, what did I go for?
I waited for my local jeweller (because I believe in supporting your local
community and not buying from a national faceless conglomerate whenever possible
- anyway, you get better service) to find me a diamond from South Africa, which
was flawless (clarity), D colour (whitest colour), 0.5 carat (not too big, not
too small) and certified by the GIA (with it's unique certificate and serial
number), and I set it in the whitest Platinum with a Latin inscription saying
'God united us'.
I think I waited 8 weeks for the diamond, 2 weeks for the ring and 2 weeks for
the inscription.
Then a further 3 weeks for sizing.
Fat load of use it did me...my fiancee hates diamonds!
After spending £x pounds for it (my monthly salary is £y), she asked
me to sell it...for which I got £z, a loss of 720 quid!
Still, I love my honey...only she could be so original and special to hate
diamonds. I LOVE diamonds - perhaps I am the girlie!
（后记：那天，我和mr tea说，我们办个婚礼玩一下好了，他和我说，你先给我买个DIAMOND先，要大！i have to faint！）
