  • From ethical concerns over sourcing diamonds to unconventional ideas about marriage and engagement norms, Gen Z would much rather opt for a nontraditional stone or lab-grown diamond, while baby boomers take pride in positioning traditional rings and real jewelry as status symbols in their lives.

The article from YourTango discusses the generational divide in perceptions of luxury between Baby Boomers and Generation Z.
