There are no quicker or effective ways to a woman's heart than a classic diamond. Nothing really says I love you, (or I love you so much that I am willing to spend my next 3 months salary on a piece of jewellery for you,) than a beautiful diamond ring on your lover's finger.

However, in these current times of financial uncertainty, even the most romantic of Romeos may be hard pushed to fork out the cash required for a top end diamond ring. This may leave many men praying for a new, more affordable stone for their women to start yearning over...emerald? Ruby? Granite?!

Unfortunately diamonds are still at the top end of most women's wish lists which is bad news for those romancers unwilling to part with top dollar sums of money in exchange for the most romantically precious of all stones.

Apparently, women are infatuated with the glitter and glamour that is traditionally associated with these precious rocks, and when they are given one as a present, a small amount of that fantasy enters their own little world.

Recent surveys show that since the recession, the vast majority would prefer a diamond to be the focal point of any piece of jewellery offered to them as a gift and that ladies still expect to be proposed to with a diamond engagement ring.

With this in mind, it would appear that a compromise must be met somewhere in the ether between men's thinning wallets and the diamond companies' traditionally sky high prices.

Luckily, there are companies out there that have taken a practical approach to the credit crunch, not by compromising in the quality of their rocks, but on the price tags that are attached to them.

Leading companies are now reducing their prices to allow a wider spread of customers to enjoy their diamonds, by offering realistic, yet still reassuringly expensive prices, after realising that not everyone nowadays has a couple of grand lying around to splash out on a ring.

If your finances have suffered badly by the credit crunch, yet you still want to show the one that you love how much you love them in the form of a diamond ring, or even if you have survived the credit crunch intact and are in the mood to splash out, then there are companies on the market that can cater for all of these needs by offering a full range of diamond jewellery that covers everybody's price range.
