Diamonds... what is it that makes a woman go ga-ga over them?

Diamonds are a girls best friend :D I'm not partially fond of them myself as they are cloudy and look fake even when they are real. The only diamonds I wear are my engagement ring and a few little pieces my hubby has brought me. I love pearls more than diamonds because they are classy and dignified with outfits as diamonds put off the impression that your rich and well off and give the wrong impression on some people.

they are sparkly. I'm a bit of a magpie. I love sparkly things. when we chose my engagement ring I did specifically want a white gold diamond solitaire. just because it's really classic and timeless I suppose. and pretty. and sparkly. it wasn't that expensive, as engagement rings go. but I love it lots and lots. it's not a large diamond. .20 carat, which seems to be smaller than most on the market, but it's really really really sparkly. in my case it's definitely not about what other people think. I don't care if other people think, oh it's small or it's cheap or whatever. it's my engagement ring. and I like the sparkliness. I sometimes sit there making it catch the light. somehow that makes me happy. easily pleased really :D Opals are more my stone, really, especially the black ones. but I already have an amazing Black Opal ring. I wear that on my other hand. it would have been very difficult and probably very expensive to find a black opal ring to out-do that one. my ring is actually the only diamond I own. I have quite a lot of opals. I think that makes it more special too.

I've wondered for years what women saw in diamonds, and I'm a woman myself. There are a lot of gems I would choose before a diamond if choosing my own gem for something. My engagement ring has sapphires. A ring given to me by a lover: amethyst. Jewelry from an old friend: turquoise. Earrings given by my father and stepfather: onyx. A necklace symbolizing my connection with my child: emerald. If it were up to me, I don't think I'd ever own a diamond. As it is, there are small ones on my engagement ring alongside the bigger sapphire because my husband didn't feel right otherwise. I've never wondered about the history of the diamond because it wasn't even interesting enough for me to study. They're just... blah to me.

This is pretty amazing questions there. You know I never really was into this diamonds, but i got my engagement ring with diamond. And now i see what it is about. Everyone just want to show it, but i don't think is neccesary. After i seen the movie bloody diamond I don't think we should really love them so much, when the people in Africa are dying for them and being killed.

I'm not a big fan of diamond but I do love the way it sparkles! I really don't think it's worth paying thousands of dollars for a tiny rock though.

The reason is diamond is really shiny,beatiful,and luxury,the most important is that maintains shiny for a long time,be good for collection,wow,it is great!

I don't like diamonds, so i'm not sure what makes people like them. With some people who just like money being spent on them(like someone i know and hate) i think its just because its something expensive. I don't mind having cheaper versions of things, because they arn't usually that much different the more expensive things. It could be something to do with them being shiny, but then they wouldn't mind having the cheaper jewellery because its just as shiny. ~Joeys wife

I've gotten more diamonds in the past year then I have ever gotten in my entire life. My soon to be husbands idea of gifts for any occasion is jewelry. While they are nice and sparkly and oh so pretty they aren't my favorite rock. I love rubies. I would take a ruby over a diamond any day. And it can be real or lab created. It doesn't matter to me. It truly is the thought that counts.

I don't know what it is all about. I have never been one that reall liked to wear jewerly. It just gets in my way. It really upsets my husband because all the normal stuff he could by for birthdays and such does not interest me. I don't know why they call it a wonen's best friend. i don't see the pull to them. Yes they are pretty but what does it really prove to have a lot of them of big ones. it makes no since to me.
