What’s a good place to get engagement rings that *arent diamond? (self.asklemmy)

I’m thinking about proposing to my girl, however we both think diamonds as a standard is stupid and overrated, we both prefer much more colorful and comparatively cheaper gemstones like rubies and sapphires, but I’m having trouble finding a good place for that, I’ve never done this before, any ideas?

Does it have to be an engagement ring? I got my girlfriend a gold bell from Mene to wear with her choker. We talked about it beforehand and we both agreed diamonds and that whole industry are stupid and she loved the bell idea. I'm gonna propose in a week in Japan when we go on vacation.

Another vote for moissanite, I got my wife's engagement ring and wedding band from kobelli.com

Just get a tattoo so you can’t lose them. Unless you anticipate a divorce.

You can't pawn a tattoo.

NFT tattoos. Great idea!

Great site. 100% real diamonds. Grown in a lab. Cuts down on cost and ethics violations, but will just look like diamonds.
