DeBeers...they are the ones responsible for making the diamond the only stone now
considered 'proper' for an
engagement or wedding ring...
It used to be that a man gave his intended a 'promise ring', which was usually her
birthstone, or a stone that
she favored...and was rarely a diamond...and wedding rings were just plain gold bands,
rarely with any stones
set into them.

You may already know this, Aleisha...but an emerald is worth more than a diamond of
the same weight, clarity,
cut, etc.
I'm with you on this, Aleisha (altho I'd rather have a nice, large, natural
alexandrite of deep color...and
I'm also fond of good amber and pearls)...I only like diamonds as accents, to show off
other stones...
