Cheap Engagement Rings: Good, Bad or Irrelevant?
We all have our own reasons for wanting, or not wanting, to give or receive a big fat expensive engagement ring. Some see an engagement ring as essential to a relationship. Others view it as a bad investment or indirectly supportive of malevolent dictators in third world countries. (which is true). As a result, people claim they are in the market for cheap engagement rings. Given our passion for all cz jewelry, we think of cubic zirconia engagement rings less as a cheap substitute for diamonds, but in a class by themselves. They have incredible variety, sparkle and precious metal settings that can be far from cheap!
The Frisky blogger discusses this in response to the NY Times Freakonomics blog. The NY Times raises the very valid points about blood diamonds and paternalism, which we totally agree with. But the Frisky blogger has a great point that an engagement ring is not just a token, but something symbolic, and while it doesn’t have to be anything fancy, it has meaning.
