[quote=Anonymous] OP, First, a tip about the band: please make sure that the band is rounded and comfortable, and doesn't have sharp edges or a hollowed out center. Most cheap jewelry stores do not make good rings. Ignorant buyers often overlook this important point, and the wearer then finds the ring uncomfortable. Another thought: I regret my beautiful diamond ring, honestly. Most diamonds are "blood diamonds", that have been obtained with forced or unethical labour and the money from which has fueled conflicts. I designed my ring myself, and DH bought the stone. Had I thought a little beyond the wedding hype, I would have asked for my favorite stone, a sapphire. DH probably wouldn't have been able to afford a star sapphire, which are more expensive than quality diamonds, but a standard-cut sapphire would have done very well. You could look for a diamond that is certified "conflict free", although I haven't researched the certification. [/quote]
