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?
I got my wife’s engagement ring off Etsy. It’s “smokey topaz” and the exact style she wanted, and was very inexpensive. She loves it.
Second for Etsy, that’s where I got both of my wife’s rings and she loves them.
Thirded for etsy. i went with simple bands of high quality metals. Silver at first then gold for the tenth. They’re quite attractive.
We got a tungsten band with sapphires from Etsy. She hunted the web to find exactly what she wanted; custom made to her size and a fraction of the cost of diamonds.
We bought both from this store:

Very impressive, hand made, Salish style bands. I worked recommend him to anyone.
