    When I proposed to my wife, I gave her the choice. Sure could have a diamond, or she could have a moissonite (which is sparklier) and we could pay off her car loan. She made the right choice.

      The engagement ring I gave to my wife had natural diamonds, but it belonged to my great-grandmother, so I felt it was ethical enough. I certainly wouldn’t have bought a new one that wasn’t synthetic.
