Just because it glitters doesn't mean it's flawless. Unless you're diligent, the origins of your diamond engagement ring might include unspeakable atrocities perpetrated against other human beings. Not to be a downer, but is the ring really more important than the life of another person? 72 Billion dollars worth of diamonds are sold every year in the US. So really, if you do nothing else, please be very careful about which ring you choose. You could even go with something that isn't a diamond, just like I did.
