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?
