Diamonds are boring. Give me emeralds, rubies, sapphires, tanzanite, opal, moldavite.... colorful stones are much more beautiful, IMO.

deBeers has managed to convince women that a diamond means he'll love you forever. In reality, he'll still be paying for it long after the divorce that was brought on by arguing over money.

Diamonds are more plentiful than most people realize. Their value is artificially inflated by the cartels.

veronica, it's okay if you don't have a diamond. I was married 10 years before I got one. My choice I ask for and got a 35.oo gold band 42 yrs later I still value my ring band because I know it didn't come with debts

RushMama2112, Umm...diamonds do come in colors! Canary, black, chocolate and blue are ones that come to mind. The Hope diamond is a beautiful blue diamond. Granted, all gemstones are beautiful and several have different colors and various shades of those colors.

Uninitialized, Well done/said. We've been married 44 years, no diamonds and I still can't afford to, is my wonderful lady bothered? not in the slightest. Love her so much.

diamonds are worth more in an angle grinder cutting disk than on someone's finger

RushMama2112, Maybe when you own one you'll come to appreciate it more.and then realise the beauty of it.

Funky Biker,
Cozzy 25,
Oh, that’s so sweet! My engagement ring was a garnet with a tiny diamond on the side. By choice because diamonds aren’t colourful enough for me!! 😎

RushMama2112, I agree.My engagement ring has a tiny diamond in the centre with six rubies around it. Someone said it meant Blood and tears. LOL.

Nahald1956, And if it's really good quality, one can't tell it's not real without a jeweler's loup.
