This phenomenon has to be more localized than Western culture (the worldwide diamond consumption hints at it being US-specific?) - I for example don't know anyone who even contemplated buying one for proposing. Granted, this is purely anectotal, but over extended family and workplace colleagues this includes a bunch of milieus.
- NikolaNovak 5y agoSure; there's definitely going to be a significant time variable then if we want to start getting specific.
- mNovak 5y agoYes I do think it's an american thing to buy a separate engagement ring, having a prominent diamond, in addition to wedding rings (which often don't have diamonds). My family in Europe doesn't have the whole engagement ring concept.
