GSUgirl asked:


I’m doing a report on diamonds and I would like to know how women and men feel about diamond engagment rings. How big of a role do they play in engagements? Do women feel like the diamond says a lot about the couple’s love? How do men view this purchase? Is it important that the diamond shows their love to the perfect woman? Do women and men feel like this shows a certain social status? Do you see buying diamonds as a good investment? How do you see the value of a good diamond? I would like some first hand answers from married or engaged men and women.

I’d prefer the diamonds in my watch or chain.

Diamonds initially used as a status symbol have now come to be known as a symbol of the love of a man towards his lady. This is so because of the wrong portray of these glittering gems by advertisers and media. Within the past few years diamonds have become a vogue in engagement rings. Since engagement rings are, more often than not, diamonds rings, the bond a couple shares with it and hence with the diamond is impeccable.

Diamonds being rare gems are pretty expensive; also the diamond facet can be utilized for personal use before it refunded or exchanged and so diamonds form a good investment. But they should not be considered as the only mode of investment.

There are many aspects that determine the value of the diamonds. These are commonly known as the 4C’s of diamonds- cut, color, clarity and carat.

Hello,
I know I am a man, and I am sorry but I am a Diamond Broker I sell to both men and women and can Frankly say there are 2 types of women…yes 2.

1 Woman feels the diamond is just closing the relationship and preparing for marriage. They are nice women who tell me “I just want the ring” frankly I do not think they care about thhe diamond, quality etc., investment (I can tell you as a dealer no diamond will ever appreciate in value so forget them as investments)

The other type of woman may have a social circle or have a prestige day job either way she wants to show it off. Showing off the diamond is important and they say things like “I dont want a tiny pee on my finger” or “I want people to see it and say wow”

I realize that I am certainly not a woman but frankly when the moment of purchase comes and all the BS is out of the way its obvious they tell me their bottom line truth……that being said objectively Diamonds are rocks , thats all….they should be symbolic of marriage as its simply a tradition. Does someone who bought a 4ct diamond love his wife more than the fellow serving in Iraq who got his girl a 1/2 carat from me today? Of course not….just different monetary values and both should be the same in both relationships.

Unfortunately, women feel oftern if the man has money and the circle they are in is affluent fact is they want it to be large and expensive, gret quality etc…they are not any more valuable over time….and they do not care they want it large.

The nice woman who just wants the relationship to have a symbolic gestures saves her money for a house deposit, or for a car for the new family etc., they often turn to me for clarity enhanced diamonds that are less expensive and more affordable but still real and they dont care.

I have a video url below that might be of some help if you are doing this report and also if possible could you email it to me when you are done? Thanks

Engagement rings need not always contain diamonds. Popular trends include using gemstones as sidestones as well as other precious stones.
