Though marriage is among the most deeply traditional institutions still regularly practiced by younger generations, even wedding icons aren't immune to modernization. Vrai & Oro, a jewelry company, has recently opened its Vrai & Oro Weddings line (shortened to the cleverly acronymic VOW) with a series of rings made from lab-grown diamonds.
