Comments on: Non DeBeers Engagement Ring OptionsMon, 08 Dec 2008 19:35:56 0800Question: Non DeBeers Engagement Ring OptionsSo my amazing, but anti DeBeers boyfriend and I are thinking about getting engaged. (Yay!) This is all very exciting, except we not sure what to do for a ring. We have been looking at a few non DeBeers options and I love to hear some input from you all.
One thing we have been looking into is a lab created white diamond. These are real diamonds, not synthetic or simulated stones. The problem is they are only available from a few places. We are wondering about what sizes these come in, how available they are (waiting lists?), cost comparison to natural stones, and quality. I would love to hear from someone who has actually bought one.
We are also interested in non DeBeers mined diamonds. We have been able to find a few places that offer Canadian diamonds. Some of these mines are Pandora Jewelry Store Pandora Passionately Purple Amethyst Charm owned by DeBeers as well though. Where can we find diamonds that are not DeBeers?
I would also love a purple sapphire as a center stone. Another color just wouldn do and it has already been proven that I am Pandora Peace Sign Dangle CZS Charm not a graceful enough person to wear stones as soft as amethyst. We have looked here so far but haven been able to find much else. I am concerned about quality and getting the perfect purple color (more pink than an amethyst but more purple than a pink sapphire). Any more sources or advice would be helpful.
We have really looked into all the options (no ring, heirloom, estate, other colored stones, etc.) and would really appreciate if the conversation could focus on these three. Thank you so much for your help!Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:00:32 0800Or you can do what my Brother in Law did: He bought the engagement ring from an antique store, so it was recycling and ethical (well, as in not directly supporting DeBeers). If you don like the settings, you can see about getting the diamond or stones removed and set into a ring you like.1566303
This got my curiosity going, so I googled "purple sapphire" since I never seen one. That prompted a google suggestion for "purple sapphire engagement ring." If you don like any of the ones that pop up from that search, I imagine your best bet would be a local non chain jewelry store that does custom rings. A place like that should know where to get the quality of sapphire you looking for (or where/how to get non deBeers diamonds).
