For another view point:
Diamonds are actually very common in nature, and the market is entirely inflated by De Beers. Other gemstones, while not priced the same, are actually by far more rare. Why be the same as everyone else and get a diamond, when there are more beautiful stones out there at better prices? There are tones of beautiful stones to choose from.
I'd think that a custom made piece with high quality garnets, or black pearls would be cheaper and mean more to her then a man made diamond.
Just something to think about.
