Oh, yeah. No, the only way I'd even consider having a diamond would be if it were a family heirloom of some kind, and I wouldn't much want it even then. Even leaving aside all the awful social stuff, which I have a hard time doing, I just don't think diamonds are very attractive. And those commercials that talk about how gold jewelry is a great gift? Not for me; I prefer silver.
