Ben Bridge Jeweler, Inc. announced a unique collection of exclusive Ikuma(TM) Canadian diamond engagement rings and wedding bands. Designed to meet the needs of today's socially conscious bride, the collection offers a wide range of diamond shapes, designs, and price points. A spectacular two carat Ikuma diamond engagement ring is also part of the company's $100,000 Wedding of the Century sweepstakes grand prize package. The Ikuma Diamond: Fire and Ice, Formed millions of years ago in Canada's Northern Territories, Ikuma diamonds are named after the Inuit word for fire, a stark contrast to the frozen landscape in which they are found. Only in the last few decades have scientists discovered that Canada is home to some of the large diamond deposits in the world. These sources of diamonds have been unearthed carefully and painstakingly to protect the integrity of the land, the sanctity of the environmental habitats, and the native communities surrounding them.
