Japan Slows Down On Engagement Rings
Japanese couples are buying smaller diamonds for engagement rings or doing away with them altogether. This seems rather hard to believe in a country where engagement rings had become so much part of the courtship and marriage ritual. Yes, times are tough but does it warrant cutting down on the romance of it all?
Japanese couples seem to feel that with the slowing down of the economy, it might be a better idea to use the money they would have spent on a diamond ring o buy a better home or to save it for an emergency later. It looks like there has been a 50% drop in engagement ring buying over the last ten years.
