That's literally every wedding ring regardless of value

All materials obtained just to turn it into jewellery is loss yes.

Mine is a gold alloy rather then pure and i am very fond of it. I derive pleasure from it everyday while the total loss was significantly less than the one in Bezos marriage.

We also had an engagement ring which has an industrial rock because no way where we going to waste our limited money on a real diamond.

All rings combined costs less than having a birth in a US hospital.

Both rings were still a loss to the planet, just like almost every novelty i own and many things i consume. Staying alive is a destructive action and all humans cause loss. That is normal and ok. What is not ok is not being aware/inconsiderate of it.

We should all strive to create the least amount of loss we are aware off and my older self having grown significantly then when i married would love a ring made from recycled computer metals which now often end up on a landfill.
