- icantdrive55 10y agoLaser etching machines are going down in price yearly. I once thought about a good etching to put on a diamond; "Hello--file the divorce papers. I hoped this day would never come, but just had a weird feeling. That day has come. Talk to me tonight?" Yes, it would go all the way around the girdle of the diamond. (I used to be romantic, but not anymore. Just too much greed, ugliness in relationships. Or, maybe it was just my generation?)
