About her dream wedding, Shiga revealed her sweetest wishes. “Marriage is such an important milestone, and a solemn ceremony would give me the right feeling. Dressed in a graceful wedding gown for an afternoon church ceremony and wearing an elegant evening dress to cut the wedding cake in a banquet, that would be ideal!”
On the other hand, Ah Jeng would like to have a fairy tale style wedding, though she is still in search of her soul mate. She would invite her friends and loved ones to join the occasion as an online live session. A wedding ring is also a must for her, and natural diamonds represent the definite choice.

Marriage Proposal Concepts of Gen Z
The image of a dream wedding differs among people of different generations, and Gen Z of course have their say to define their own marriage proposals and engagements.
How to propose: As indicated by a study jointly conducted by De Beers Group and The Knot in the U.S., Gen Z women put a lot of emphasis on the process of how the marriage proposal is made. Instead of grand gestures and elaborate public displays, they want the proposal to be more intimate and personal. Gone are the days when proposals were made by going down on one knee with 999 roses in a romantic restaurant. Girls like it more now that their partners present the promise of love in a private environment for only the two of them, or make a ceremonious proposal under the witness of family and friends.
Proposal by girls, why not: Gen Z women believe proposing for marriage is not something exclusive for men. Girls can also take the initiative to propose to their partners, instead of waiting passively for the proposal to come.
Choosing the engagement ring together: Gen Z women prefer choosing the engagement ring together with their partners. As the sharing goes from Shiga and Ah Jeng in the video: “The engagement ring is going to stay with us for a lifetime. You must choose the ring that you really love!”
Gen Z Prefers Natural Diamond Rings
While the proposal itself is highly valued by the girls, the engagement ring is equally important, if not more, especially the brilliance of the diamond. However, the size of the diamond is less a priority than the style and sparkle of the stone. Traditionally, the 4C measurements have been used to determine the value of the diamonds, but Gen Z pursues more as they embrace the new 5C standard, adding Confidence to the original 4C of Colour, Clarity, Carat and Cut.
Caring more about the community and the environment, Gen Z appreciates brands that focus on people’s well-being, social responsibility, and environmental protection. That is why De Beers Forevermark has become their trusted diamond jeweller. Set at the core of De Beers Forevermark is the celebration of everlasting love and values, including the support for sustainable development of the planet, protection of the environment, and implementation of social responsibilities. De Beers Group is committed to “Building Forever,” an approach of sustainable development that brings together a wide array of professional parties to work together with the Group for the long-term sustainable benefits of the people living in diamond-producing countries. This serves as a promise of Confidence for consumers to live up to the 5C standard.
