I am so anti-diamond that if a partner insisted on a diamond ring, I would have to think very hard about the whole relationship. Especially because it's one of the less interesting stones, even ignoring all the scam and ethical issues.
Same. My partner and I are engaged but there's never going to be a diamond in the picture. If they had found the diamond ritual important, we wouldn't be too compatible.
I also cannot deal with rings in general due to sensory issues.
We do want to find some kind of wearable, interesting symbol though.
Ooohhh have you about buying a band and wearing it on a chain around your neck instead? I know people who work with machinery do that to avoid their rings getting caught on the equipment.
I've always thought it was kind of sweet because now your ring hangs close to your heart everyday!
I know it's not the best recommendation, but my partner and I have matching tattoos on our ring fingers. It's a symbol for something we both really really love and it's delicate and sensible enough that no one looks twice. Even if we split, it's not their name or anything and it's still something that means a lot to me on its own and is vague enough to be something I'll still enjoy
Same. I like the whole engagement ring ritual but I’ll be damned if our marriage is going to hinge on my “proving my love” with some overpriced trinket that costs a couple months’ salary and loses 95% of its value when it leaves the store. If that’s what it takes for us to get married it’s not the type of relationship I want in my life.
oxidized titanium rings are better in literally every single way
My wife wore a diamond engagement ring (multiple small diamonds set in a ring), but it belonged to my great-grandmother, so it had value beyond just buying a diamond for the purposes of showing off your engagement. One of the diamonds fell out and got lost, so she stopped wearing it before any of the rest fell out. I would certainly never have bought her a new diamond ring even if I could have afforded one and she wouldn't have wanted me to.
