Diamonds

Before John and I started dating, we were having a conversation about diamonds with some friends when I declared that I didn't really care to have a diamond engagement ring someday. I didn't know this at the moments, but my response took John by surprise. 

I have to admit that I think diamonds are beautiful (and shiny!), but they also represent a lot of things I do not agree with. 

This article has highlighted many of my thoughts. Whether you agree or not, this is something worth thinking about!
