diamond engagement rings

When DeBeers only began marketing that lie in the early 50’s? Engagement rings are not necessary, let alone diamond engagement rings. People dont buy into the commercial brainwashing!
There will be a ring, the wedding band.

Because an engagement is the final step before marriage. Not every one wears rings for a variety of reason. So whats the big deal, no ring?

Because it’s nice for people to notice that you are getting married, so people see that you are off the market. How does your girl feel about this?

Really, marriage is a waste of time anyway. No point in buying an expensive wedding band which you won’t even have paid off before sweetums decides to divorce you and take half of everything you own.

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