The best alternative to diamonds is sapphires. They not only look rich but also score very highly (a 9 out of 10) on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, which rates minerals on their ability to withstand surface scratching. In fact, one of the only things that can scratch a sapphire is a diamond! Sapphires come in various shades of blue, green, pink, yellow, and teal and peach hence there are lots of colors to choose from! To top it all you get an exquisitely beautiful ring at the much lesser expense.
