I enjoyed the diamonds are bullshit post. Too bad I didn't read it before 1995 when we got engaged.
My former company makes the material that goes into moissanite (an alternative to diamond that looks a lot like diamond and has similar reflective and thermal properties). I have a stone from them.
When I worked for them I would often wear it to parties, and get asked about it, and talk about it.
Just found out a few months ago that one of my spouse's coworkers bought one for their engagement ring. Yay me!
Marcia,
Me too!! That was the main thought in my head while I read that article. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Back then I guess I wasn't in the habit of questioning cultural norms quite like I am now. :)
