As a married millennial, my wife and I both were against buying any "new" mined diamonds. Her engagement ring was actually a vintage ring and the wedding band had "lab" diamonds inlaid. Thinking back at our friends who married, many that decided to bought new diamond jewelry made it a point to mention the diamonds were "ethically sourced" in one form of another. Two other trends I've noticed: diamonds seem to be both less popular on engagement rings and smaller when they do make an appearance. "Large" diamonds seem gauche.
