These 10 reasons will make you rethink the diamond engagement ring

Because why diamonds in the first place? We've mentioned it before , but diamonds as an engagement rock was a mere marketing stunt, care of De Beers and advertising firm N.W. Ayers. Before that, sapphires were the more common 'I Do' stone.

Don't get us wrong, we’re huge fans of diamonds – in fact, our list has diamonds on it – but we're not fans of being told how to propose marriage. Engagement and wedding rings are uber personal. They sit on the finger where the blood runs right to your heart. They’re the ring that Rules Them All, the rock in your love story, a jewel that reflects your deepest love and your relationship.

So if you're looking for something more colorful than your good ol' sparkly white diamond, here they are.

For the girl with that eclectic presence

She gives you that look that sends chills down your spine. And you know a regular white diamond, no matter the size, won’t do it for her. But this vibrant blue conflict-free diamond; this one is a show-stopper. Made to order for you; you can select the diamond of your wildest dreams and your ring will be ready within just 6-8 weeks.
