Does anybody know where I can find reliable information on non-diamond engagement rings?
Monday, August 20th, 2007 | Other - Beauty & Style
All the jewelers I’ve talked to just stared like I was speaking gobbledygook. I’m specifically looking for corundum, like ruby or blue sapphire. Do you know of a jeweler or website that can give me info on settings, origin, price, etc.?
My BF is not a “cheapskate”. I just have a problem with wearing something that is supposed to symbolize love that was mined in a war-torn country by a starving five-year-old. It is much easier (though sometimes more expensive) to find corundum that was mined by paid adult workers.

Go onto Ebay and look for a ruby or sapphire, which both are forms of corundum. Just do a search and ask for Jewelers, than look for colored gem stones. Princess Diana wedding ring was a sapphire so they do exist. Colored gems as engagement rings are cool. I have one it is a Ruby. I simply love it

There’s the ring I designed for my fiance (blue sapphire and diamond)
Engagement rings need not always contain diamonds. Popular trends include using gemstones as sidestones as well as other precious stones.
