Because these stones are manmade, they are available at a fraction of the price of diamonds. Rather than spending a fortune on a diamond, why not achieve the same look at a price you can comfortably afford?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethics<\/strong><br \/>\nThe unethical practices of many in the diamond trade have been brought to light by news outlets and Hollywood alike.
