ENGAGMENT RINGS: Real diamond or artificial.

Over the years of being a bartender for hire for all kinds of events.  I tend to learn about various aspects of stuff.

Today I'd like to post a bit about engagement rings that I have learned.  

Engagement rings can be made of many types of material.  Gold, titanium, etc.   Diamonds - real, fake, or a diamond substitute.  

Real diamonds mined from the earth are the most valuable.  They are the most expensive due to how they are acquired.   That process sometimes has some ethical issues on labor used to mine them.  They are one of the hardest elements on the planet. 

Information on real diamonds on wikipedia here.  You can read more information on the ethics and the issues with real diamonds and synthetic diamonds.  

Lab grown (synthetic) diamonds.  They have the appearance and longevity of real diamonds, but are grown in labs.   They don't have the same issues of labor used to be mined from the earth, so there isn't an ethical issue regarding them.   

Here is some good brief information at Diamond Nexus about them.

Due the fact I plan to ask my girlfriend to marry me, I'm looking into engagement rings.

I've been doing some shopping and pricing at engagement ring category section.
