The change in demand for diamond engagement rings may therefore be explained by an increase in need for such a bond because of the abolition of a cause of action for breach of marriage promise. My guess, having apparently found a reason for the change in demand for diamond engagement rings, is that many other mysterious demand changes could be accounted for as well, given some though as to what the commodity might mean to consumers and some exploration of the legal or other changes of the time during which the demand change occurred. Interesting, indeed. Thanks for the read!
