Land 'O' Lakes

This ring is gorgeous to the average person. Shoot, it looks good to anyone who catches a glimpse of this sparkler. Let alone a girl being asked for her hand in marriage. It's the prettiest thing they ever seen, But even though it has 15 carats like Kim Kardashian's. Let me point out in my limited knowledge why it only cost half as much as her's  I blogged about this earlier.  This ring although beautiful, doesn't have that huge bevel cut stone in the center. It just has several stones that have that cluster effect. This ring is based on an older design that  was popular as far back as the nineties. Next year this very ring would possibly auction for $ 275,000 and pawn for even less than that.

The Avianne family of Avianne & Co. Jewelers is yet another jeweler who has made more money off hip hop than most of the rappers themselves. It takes twenty minutes to look at their celebrity client list. They have done pieces for actresses Tatyana Ali to boxer Floyd Mayweather . This man spent ten million dollars on one ring. That doesn't take into account all the watches, bracelets and pendants he has bought.  Ciara's massive engagement ring is undoubtedly one of their biggest jobs. But it's just on a long list of many. I have another question. How can Future afford  to pay this much for a ring? He must be a rapper with a trap. I know these guys are making loads of money doing shows. But I just hope they're paying their taxes.

In one of the most popular movies of this culture "Baby Boy." It explains this fascination with things that don't appreciate in value.  You drive a car off the lot and it's not worth what you just paid the dealer for it not five minutes ago. In the movie Melvin calls it "guns and butter". That's the name he gives cars, clothes and jewelry. Don't forget about drugs and fast women Too many people have made hundreds of thousands even millions of dollars and that's all they have to show. Some things will last forever or at least a long time. The other one at the first sign of heat will just melt away. All this bling is butte. Some of these jewelers are even selling margarine. Buyers have to have another jeweler check  or find out it isn't real at the airport.. Whether it's real or not. It's still just "Land 'O' Lakes."
