Budget diamonds

With engagement rings becoming a new trend among China's lovebirds, a slew of cut-price jewelers have sprung up. Sun Yuanqing reports.

When actress Zhang Ziyi got engaged earlier this year her diamond ring took as much of the limelight as her new status as fiancee to rock star Wang Feng.

Thanks to several highly publicized celebrity proposals like Zhang's that highlight a glittering gemstone, a diamond ring is no longer just for the rich and famous.
