Ditch the Diamond ? Alternative Engagement Rings Featuring a Colored Stone
Who ever said an engagement ring needed to be a diamond" Actually, De Beers did, in 1947, with the slogan of, ?A Diamond is Forever,? ? and convinced generations to come that diamonds equal romance and an engagement ring should be a diamond. Why" Because they have a monopoly on the diamond mines, and sought to propel the idea that diamonds are rare, thus expensive? Clever, they are! Prior to 1930, most engagement rings in the Victorian and Edwardian era featured colored gemstones, such as sapphires, aquamarine stones, emeralds, and even opals. While we?re all for a glistening diamond, we?ve been hearing from our readers lately that they want something unique, something not as traditional, and possibly even less expensive than a diamond engagement ring. So that?s what today is all about: alternative engagement rings that feature a colored stone!
