Hi,

well I am getting married next August and my fiance & I are seriously thinking about getting platinum bands with little diamonds all around the inside. First time I saw that I actually thought that it was a great idea, I had never seen such rings. Secondly, it’s like our little secret, because no one else would know that the diamonds are there.

As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure I have diamond ball bearings somewhere in my truck. Because it’s so hard and durable. Grrr…. And I use champagne as motor oil because I’m not allowed to drink it while I drive.

What is not to understand? Clearly it is inspired by ball bearings. Think rotating machinery. The next logical step is to use diamonds as ball bearings. In a Bill Blass Edition convertible (car manufacturer of your choice). You can’t see the diamonds, but you know they’re there… don’t you?

I actually think this ring could have a certain popularity in some neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and in certain university towns . . . it’s kind of a post-modern or deconstructed diamond ring, isn’t it.

But for myself, I also find it silly, or pretentious. Wear diamonds, or don’t, but . . . (and how are you going to clean that??)

It has a certain charm, like a geode – ordinary on the outside with a sparkly treasure hidden within.

That, plus diamonds are the most overrated rocks on the planet. Hiding them actually adds a little character.

So this ring says, “Honey… you have a great personality.” – lol

I think it is a quite romantic present, among the right persons.

I agree that it’s symbolic. The pretentious, stupid kind of symbolic. For people who want to pretend that they don’t need diamonds or don’t need to show off how wealthy they are. But if that is the case, why buy diamond jewelry at all?

Kinda like having diamonds on the soles of your shoes, I think.
