The thing about trends is that they never, ever stay still. For decades, engagements have always been about the diamond, darling.
It was tradition, of course. Everybody did it. We were expected to fork out more than three months’ pay on a single ring that often (arguably) looked just a little bit like everyone’s else’s.
But diamonds aren’t the only rocks out there. Yes, many of us have been convinced they’re all about tradition – a super savvy PR campaign even made us think we were buying a little bit of history.

Marriage is all about tradition, part of that tradition is a diamond engagement ring. Anyone who is trying to convince themselves otherwise is doing so because they can't afford a rock the size they want...
Marriage isn't about (how big a diamond rock that looks like glass is) or weather a person can afford it other people like bold vibrant colors of gems and being different.
Never been a diamond fan, love the colours and variety of other gems
