Engagment rings w/o diamonds - where do I find them?
My boyfriend recently proposed, and we are on the hunt for a ring. I've seen one too many documentaries/news specials/movies about the horrible effects of the diamond trade on Africa and as a result, am looking for an alternative stone(s) on a ring that have virtually no risk of involving blood diamonds.
Any suggestions for websites or jewelry stores in NYC are appreciated.
As a jeweler who sold estate jewelry, may I suggest you consider purchasing an unusual ring with either a ruby or sapphire? Diamonds have only been used as engagement stones during the past century. Prior to that, betrothal rings had all kinds of colored stones in them.
I suggested ruby and sapphire because they are both corundums and are the next toughest and durable stone to diamonds and they don't have the bad history that diamonds have. Even Princess Diana wore a sapphire for her engagement ring. Either oval or cushion cut are very nice.
I know NYC has some very well established shops that specialize in antique and estate jewelry.
Opps! Forgot to put the link in:

Silver & Gold $3.71 One of Neil Young's softest and most striking albums in ages, Silver & Gold recaptures the peacefulness of Comes a Time and Harvest Moon. At one point ("Buffalo Springfield Again"), Young even goes so far as to imagine the reunion of the band he left in order to pursue a solo career.
