There are many other worthy gemstones for engagement rings other than diamonds. <BR/><BR/>De Beers turned around what were falling diamond prices back in the 1930's when their ad campaign Diamonds are Forever, convinced women to switch to diamonds.The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-75095434508229315122008-12-01T11:24:00.000-05:002008-12-01T11:24:00.000-05:00I can't say I feel much sympathy for diamond purve...I can't say I feel much sympathy for diamond purveyors like De Beers, given their incredibly unethical behavior.

However, I can really understand the worry of the diamond appraisers and those who alreadyown expensive diamonds.
