The French were bred to die for love
they delight in fighting duels
but I prefer a man who lives
and gives expensive jewels.
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
but diamonds are a girl's best friend.
A kiss may be grand
but it won't pay the rental on your humble flat,
or help you at the automat.
Men grow cold as girls grow old
and we all lose our charms in the end.
But square-cut or pear-shaped
these rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Tradition of wearing jewelry begins with the early start of civilization. Earlier also women loved to wear various jewelries. It is only with the passage of time that taste of women has changed. It was once gold which had stolen the hearts of women of all ages and class. But now gold has been replaced by diamond. Diamond which was earlier meant for the elite, now it is common for all.
People started preferring white gold in place of yellow. It may be due to the cost of gold which has risen, and also due to the fact that in diamond also gold is added. So, it serves the twin purpose of wearing both the elements as part of jewelry. With the change in fashion style of women from clothing to handbags to shoes all had changed. So, jewelries had also undergone a drastic change. There is no woman who is not fond of wearing jewelry. Though loaded with heavy jewels is out of fashion, now women like to wear which is elegant and stylish. So, it is diamond which serves the purpose.
It is the wish of all women that she should look different from the crowd. All should recognize the beauty of women and should appreciate it. So, diamond is what today's women had chosen. The soft sparkling of diamond which stands different in the crowd is what women like. It reveals the status, femininity of women. As women of today like to posses grand status in society. She is no more confined to the four walls of house. In order to show her grand style wearing one diamond serves the purpose.
It is believed that possession of Kohinoor will enable women to rule the world. So, after wearing diamond women feel, its state of rule. It is due to the beauty and sparkle of diamond that it attracts all its buyers. Diamond satisfies the modern woman's need for something delicate and wearable. It complements with all types of costumes, both formal and informal occasions. So, diamond is the women best friend. Just like true friend's are forever so is diamond, the everlasting beauty. As it compliments women of all ages.

Engagement Ring Versus Sexism ???
Source: Maybe if we replaced them with gold medals
From Ezra, this excellent article by Meghan O’Rourke is bound to ruffle some feathers, since she blasts the continuing tradition of the engagement ring without holding back or apologizing for her well-thought-out but uncomfortable (to anyone who has or wants an engagement ring) position. But she’s 100% correct. Trying to wiggle out of the sexist nature of the engagement ring won’t work; it’s a tradition rooted directly in the idea that brides are selling and grooms are buying and that women are up for display as property. She goes over the history of how De Beers pushed the engagement ring, but then adds that it’s hard to sell something that people aren’t buying.
" And as it happens there was another factor in the surge of engagement ring sales—one that makes the ring’s role as collateral in the premarital economy more evident. Until the 1930s, a woman jilted by her fiance could sue for financial compensation for “damage” to her reputation under what was known as the “Breach of Promise to Marry” action. As courts began to abolish such actions, diamond ring sales rose in response to a need for a symbol of financial commitment from the groom, argues the legal scholar Margaret Brinig—noting, crucially, that ring sales began to rise a few years before the De Beers campaign. To be marriageable at the time you needed to be a virgin, but, Brinig points out, a large percentage of women lost their virginity while engaged. So some structure of commitment was necessary to assure betrothed women that men weren’t just trying to get them into bed. The “Breach of Promise” action had helped prevent what society feared would be rampant seduce-and-abandon scenarios; in its lieu, the pricey engagement ring would do the same. (Implicitly, it would seem, a woman’s virginity was worth the price of a ring, and varied according to the status of her groom-to-be.) "
So, the engagement ring is a frightfully sexist tradition that reaffirms women’s status as male property instead of as independent citizens, and posits that marriage is a purchase instead of a partnership. So why does it persist? O’Rourke has a theory:
" It may seem curious that feminism has made inroads on many retrograde customs—name-changing, for example—but not on the practice of giving engagement rings. Part of the reason the ring has persisted and thrived is clearly its role in what Thorstein Vebelen called the economy of “conspicuous consumption.” Part of the reason could be that many young women, raised in a realm of relative equality, never think rigorously about the traditions handed down to them. So it’s easy to simply regard a ring as a beautiful piece of jewelry and accept it in kind (I’m guilty myself). "
All good reasons, but she ends up concluding that the engagement ring points to what opponents of gay marriage already know—just because modern American marriage is legally egalitarian doesn’t mean that custom has caught up. (Thus, opponents of gay marriage do have a reason to fear that legal gay marriage will provide a more egalitarian model to straight people, one that a lot of us will happily take up.) And the engagement ring functions as a reminder that women are subservient in marriage, and it’s basically meant to. One quibble with O’Rourke—there’s no reason to think that feminists have made much inroads on the name change thing. Few women retain their name upon marriage to this day, and while I’m going to guess that there are a few feminist-minded women who don’t change their names but do take the ring, on the whole, most women buy into the holy trinity of demonstrating their willful subservience in marriage—the engagement ring, the miserably overblown wedding featuring her father giving her away, and the name change.
The question is why. Why do otherwise dignified women give into this alarming display of subservience? Hell, why are so many women eager for it, even sometimes over the objections of the groom?
It’s not that hard to understand if you take a look at the way the overall culture sends the strong signal to women that we need to be grateful that any man will have us at all. From fashion magazines proclaiming the 8 million ways to get and please a man (implying that it’s a hard job that few can succeed at without heavy study) to the sitcom trope that men don’t want to be married to comment trolls screeching that biology dictates that men want to fuck everything that moves and simply cannot want a monogamous relationship, women get the message that having a man actually want to marry you is very close to impossible. Yes, many of us are smart enough to balance that with the overwhelming evidence that men do in fact wish quite frequently to get married (as much or more than women), but all the cultural effort put into making women feel basically unmarriageable and unlovable works on your subconscious. So, no wonder, when the actual opportunity to get married is produced, women get a tad triumphant and want to pull out every stop to show they’ve been chosen for the brass ring. When you feel that you’ve beat all the odds and won, well, who doesn’t want to trumpet that? The desire for women to prove that they beat the odds is then used against us to extract subservient behavior.
On the name change thing, you definitely see a lot of women give in under pressure from their husbands, and usually they excuse it by saying it was important to him. But of course, it’s important to said women to keep their names, or they wouldn’t have quarreled about it. But his desires triumph, because what’s she going to do, walk away right when she’s about to cross the finish line? A lot of men pressure on this issue because they know on some level that they have more leverage, because less of their self-esteem is invested in making sure the damn wedding happens.
Needless to say, it’s weird to me to write about the drive to be married, when I personally feel a tad repulsed by the idea. But it wasn’t always so. I used to want to get married; I even had an engagement ring and whatnot. And the body blow that the whole process took on my dignity has stayed with me, and definitely informs my low opinion of the humiliating hoops set out for women to jump through in order to be thought worthy of wifehood.

After reading this article I somehow can't help wondering if the writer herself was jilted herself although her article is valid. The concept of male and female relationships cemented by the symbolic gesture of the diamond engagement ring keeps me from starving.
Tradition says the engagement ring is the seal of approval that commences the journey for a loving couple.
Therefore choosing the right diamond is symbolic of the relationship.
Those who rush and buy the first ring they see without any thought or research, unless they are eloping and time is limited, tend to regret later.
That way those hard core feminists who feel they might be under pressure will soften and you the diamond stud, stallion of bling, will melt her little heart into submission before you saddle her and ride her off into the sunset knowing that she is happy to be dominated by you until that final ring of importance is placed on her finger.
This will be the last decision you will make. After that she is in control.
And remember ladies ! Is there sex before marriage? Depends on the size of the diamond and yes SIZE does count. If you stroke his wallet long enough it might turn into a suitcase.
