Little off topic here but I was thinking of proposing to my girlfriend soon and was wandering, is it okay if I went ahead with a Lab Grown Diamond ring?

The design she likes is expensive in Natural Diamonds but can be managed if I save for sometime. What do you think?

Personally I think they are a great alternative. HOWEVER you really need to figure out how she’d feel about it! Diamond trade has a lot of ethical implications, and easily went down some rabbit holes in that. Knowing what kind of design is probably half the battle!

Will try to focus more on designs.

Yes! I think lab grown is just fine and also more ethical. However, you know your girlfriend best. Maybe ask people close to her what they think she would want.

Smart.

Maybe watch the movie blood diamonds and ask her opinion on it after that way she does not suspect anything

Hello all, my first post. Anyone else feel like their general manager won't promote them because they're afraid you'll make them look bad. Like they don't do their job well enough so you'll outshine them? Do you stay? Leave? Try to build the relationship? It's been a year. @Aimbridgehospitalityllc
