The diamond you buy at a jewrey store could be 2nd hand. How would you know. Where is the best place to buy an engagement ring if you want a new stone? Where would I find the best value?

Scotty S asked:


I’ve heard both yes and no. I’ve heard yes because they are getting the money up front. I’ve heard no because they don’t make anything on financing.

Please don’t give a simple yes or no answer to simply add points to your yahoo score. Thanks.

“Do engagement rings have to be diamonds?” - response & question?

I saw this question after it had been answered and REALLY wanted to respond. I don’t think there is a way to do that is there?

Anyhow, the answer that I wanted to get back to the asker is - the “tradition” of a diamond engagement ring is actually a “new” tradition - less than 100 years old. Thank the De Beers company - aka the diamond producers - for a brilliant marketing plan. They got all the famous people to start using diamonds for engagement rings - and now “everyone” does it.

Actually, the more traditional stone is Sapphire - which comes in a variety of shades. Blue, of course, is best known. But they come in a rainbow of colors.

Anyhow - I don’t think there is any way for me to share this info except to ask a question, is there? I checked and the original asker doesn’t allow contact, so I think this is the only way?

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