Not Your Friend

These rings range in size feom 3.5 carats to 15 total. These rings cost  $70,000 to between  $4 and 5 million each. In case no one has noticed. Diamond  rings are not a good investment. That's something hustlers came up with back in the day. When you had lost all your money. You could pawn your jewelry to keep playing  Things have changed over the years. Kris Humphrey had a ring valued at $2 million that sold a year later for $740,000. Over $100,000 of that went to commission and fees. He only paid wholesale then. But these guys are paying  retail now.

Black people always find a way to waste their money. Kim Kardashian is being used like a female coyote. They advertise it on her to bring the star gazers back with bags of money. Then the merchants go in for the kill. I bet Lamborghini sales in the states spiked this year. I bet Kanye doesn't get the sane discount either. People like Ben Baller figured out that there was more money in selling these amatuer millionaires jewelry than managing their careers It started out wirh gold chains and then the big pendants. Then Paul Wall and Tv Jimmy started selling gold grills.  Now it's about who can buy the biggest ring.

Halle Berry and Tina Turner tied the knot this year also. But you hadn't seen their rings.  It's not that important in the big picture anyway. People that are used to money know that already. Even Lil Scrappy bought Erica Dixon a big rock They aren't even together anymore. She has already pawned the ring and spent the money. In the place of his overdue  child support. If the marriage is for real, it doesn't take all that. A big diamond ring won t make it last.

I saw a couple willing to spend $200,000 for a wedding and they still lived at home. Kim Kardashian made money off her wedding, but NeNe Leakes probably just broke even. Remember Kim Zolchiak did it second. But Benji Tankard is going to go in the hole.  So he should save his father's dough  But he thinks he has a lot of money. These women are setting bad examples. The trend is to spend money you don't really have. In the beginning average couples don't have a lot of assets. If this ends up being part of a settlement in a divorce. With the mark-up on jewelry. Diamonds are not your friend.

  4. Naya Rivera


    On Oct. 3, 'Glee' star Naya Rivera and 25-year-old rapper Big Sean confirmed their engagement.

    Celebrity jewelry expert Michael O'Connor told E! that he estimates the ring is '3.5 carats to four, but closer to four carats with a platinum setting. The diamond looks to be in very good quality, of course, so her ring probably retailed at around $70,000."
