[QUOTE="Ace_on_the_Turn, post: 2677858, member: 27417"] The entire diamond wedding ring "tradition" is a marketing scam. This is a great article on how Madison Ave made a "Diamond Forever". [URL="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/05/fashion/weddings/how-americans-learned-to-love-diamonds.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0"]Women wanted their men to spend money on a washing machine, or a new car, anything but an engagement ring, Ms. Gerety said. It was considered just absolutely money down the drain. Still, the agency set an ambitious goal: to create a situation where almost every person pledging marriage feels compelled to acquire a diamond engagement ring. [/URL] [/QUOTE]
