I'm not even sure where the need for an expensive gem stone came from, diamond or otherwise.

My wedding/engagement ring came from an artist and the bands are sculpted and fit together. It's beautiful and I never have to worry about the stone falling out of the setting, plus it was in our price range. Gem stones can be nice, not arguing against them, but rings without them can be just as pretty and more affordable.

It was a marketing campaign from De Beers. Where else would it have come from.
