Brides Say No to Diamonds?
Filed in archive Bridal Jewelry by tammy on January 23, 2006
According to an article from the Chicago Tribune, " Don't need no diamond ring," today's brides are starting to catch up to me:
" About 80 percent of brides get diamond engagement rings, according to the Diamond Information Center. And the carat weight for the upper crust
keeps rising--"no less than 2 carats for the average successful New Yorker, whereas it used to be a carat or a carat and a half," said gem and jewelry expert Antoinette Matlins, a consumer advocate and frequent national media guest.Some couples, however, are rocking the world of engagement rings, choosing anything from nothing at all to Technicolor gemstones instead--with a key trend of more brides participating in the selection.
As in the past, cost might weigh into the decision. But nowadays, taste just as likely holds sway."
