B&Q! Before the apocalypse?

Back when I was engaged, we were broke. I didn't get a ring. I did get an expensive sleeping bag for christmas about a month later, and jokingly called it my engagement ring. It was a nice sleeping bag.
I swore up and down that I didn't want a ring, but I really kind of did. An inexpensive ring would have been fine.
My wedding band was beautiful, hand-made, sterling silver, with pretty little ridges that looked like waves. I lost it swimming in a pond two days after we got married. I wore his for many years after that, until we decided to get divorced.
I doubt I'll ever remarry, but I would/do like to be given gifts. Including jewelry. I don't really like diamonds, though.

Wait, really? I am just like reading this thread again and I like it when people I like hook up.
That('d be)/(is) sooo cute!

24 carat gold is so soft the rings tend to break. I saw it happen once.

I feel that I should reply to this thread seeing as how Jeph and I are engaged now!!! I personally hate diamonds because they seem cold and lifeless to me. (Also, they look terrible on me and even though I had the option of a Canadian non-blood diamond, they are not for me.) I am not what you would call a "traditional" girl. I have thin fingers on long hands, so anything that sticks up too much looks silly. Thus, I requested a pearl ring and Jeph and I picked out something we both love at an artisan jewelry gallery. This is the result:
For those of you that know me, it is very "me". Knowing that a pearl requires more care than a diamond just means that I take the ring off if I am cooking or cleaning. I would do that anyway since cleaning rings is a bitch.
Also, I would like to point out that men do not usually get engagement rings, only the lady.
