Having just got married... (Score 2, Interesting)

I just got married less than 2 months ago. LIke a lot of people, I have a thing against diamonds. To me they are boring. I prefer coloured stones. Much nicer. When I proposed to my wife I gave her an amethyst that I had carved into a heart. She liked this way more than a boring diamond.

If you really want to get a diamond I suggest that you look at Canadian diamonds. They are mined in non-terroist conditions and are a bit more unique. And lots of them have a kewl little polar bear etched onto the girdle of the diamond. :)
