Henry Rollins on Diamonds.

This. Fucking this. 

 HAHAHA So fucking true.  I have never like diamonds and he states all the reasons why besides the fact I find them ugly.  This girl is more into turquoise, amber and black onyx.  Oh and silver that is all you find in my jewelry box.  It is nice to hear someone else say this.

Yup… not to mention the effect diamond mining has on the environment as well. While I can look at a diamond and think “pretty” I immediately get sad at what it represents to me and no longer care about a sparkle. Simulated diamonds or other gemstones are more beautiful and meaningful in my opinion. Have you ever seen a fire opal set with rubies or emeralds? I have an heirloom ring that is gorgeous and more impressive than any diamond ring I have seen.

The idea of diamond engagements rings have always been ridiculous. There shouldn’t be a price tag on engagement/ marriage. I’ve always thought that. I think some jewelry can be beautiful but mainly… the intent and careful choosing is more meaningful than the size or cost.

How can anyone wear anything that is such a known symbol of oppression and pain? I guess that’s what people think of marriage. How sad.

OH, Henry. You know I love you. I even forgive you for that time you made that group of skinheads get all worked up and hit me in the head in a mosh pit. It’s just because you’re awesome sometimes. Sometimes your sanctimonious and self-important, but that’s ok.

I’ve never understood the need to drop dough on a diamond OR a wedding, actually. Dude, if you’re gonna spend that, put it toward a house (like Henry says)….or drag my ass across the globe for a month.
