| Why does a wedding ring have to have a diamond in it when there are so many pretty gems out there? Personally, I find that if it was some other stone (real stone of course) it would appear to be a more well-thought out ring since everyone seems to be getting a diamond. So why does it have to be a diamond?Your thoughts? I love diamonds, but I just feel that they are way too expensive. I wouldn't get it even if I could afford it for the fear of losing it.And I'm not getting married. I'm just curious as to why people spend so much on rings. |

| It doesn't have to be a Diamond that is just tradition - why not get a ring with her birth stone in it? |

| I know engagement rings generally have diamonds as it's something to do with a long marriage - haven't heard of it for wedding rings though. Most are just gold/platinum and no gems |

| Basically, I think it is a traditional thing. Just something that people have always done......diamonds, but I think a pretty real stone would be just as nice and some are awesome. |

| they dont have to be a diamond, thats just tradition. you can make it your own ring, with a different gem, when i was little i wanted a ruby, and little diamonds around it for my wedding ring. but now i want just a normal wedding ring. but with a difffernt touch. |

| wedding rings are supposed to be plain - signifying an eternal circle - hence, no diamonds!and you won't lose it, it kind of 'grows' on you! - my wedding ring is plain, but cost more than most overstated 'tacky' rings - the cost is irrelevant |

| I feel the same way! Diamonds are beautiful, but I dont need one to know that he loves me. And, if he were to get me one with beautiful pink or green stones, he would prove that he knows me and what I like. And it would reflect my personality better than something everyone else has....plus I lose jewelry fairly easily..... ^.^ |

| Plain and simple: people spend to show off. My fiance and I split the cost of my engagement ring because we are equals, and pay for things together. And we didn't go overboard because we would like to pay for other things like getting our mortgage down, holidays, etc. I do have a diamond but the ring is very different. Also, my best friend told her now husband when they were dating that she doesn't like diamond rings. She loves Amber so, that is what the stone is in her ring that her hubby got her. Very nice! |
