De Beers no longer holds the monopoly position that they once had, though they are still a huge player, but all gem-quality diamond producers today profit from De Beers marketing brilliance in pushing diamond jewellery sales - particularly engagement rings.

@Coconut Pal Blue on silver is a nice combo tbh. I think a sapphire in a titanium tension ring would look pretty nice.

Like all gem diamonds, they're much more of a triumph of marketing than something rare or useful. Remember that diamond engagement rings didn't really become popular until the 1940s. The idea of spending two months salary on it? Also marketing. In fact, De Beers (who once held a near monopoly on diamond production) originally recommended a single months salary until they realised they could push it to two and make even more money.
