Engagement rings

I have my mother's engagement ring she got from her grandmother (through my father of course) for when I find someone worth proposing to. I kinda like the idea of it being a family heirloom and all.
Also, in light of this post:

I should share the best advice a woman ever gave me. "Wait until she says yes to show her the ring, if she'd say no based on a diamond then she doesn't love you."

I'm almost fairly sure you mean monogamous. However, I agree that they are fairly interchangeable.

Lines:
I like the idea of engagement rings, but I do not want a large stone of any type. I use my hands a lot and I don't like wearing rings as it is because they snag on things, among other things. They just aren't my thing. And I would have no problem with using my engagement ring as my wedding band or getting a cheap one and then replacing it with a better band when I actually get married. And if I did get stones, they'd have to be flush with the band itself - I'd prefer something done more interesting with the metal (silver or white gold) anyways. My mom laughed when I mentioned this to her once and said I'd regret that later on, but I just seriously do not want a fancy ring or a large stone.

One of my professors did something interesting ring-wise with his fiancé - he bought her a Mickey Mouse ring as an engagement band. She didn't feel the need for him to spend large amounts of money on a ring now when they could get two later on and she could just switch the MM one out for her wedding band. He was talking about how one of her coworkers thought that was silly and her response was, "He doesn't need to buy me a big ass diamond to show everyone that I belong to him." I thought that was cool.

See, I view it not as the woman belonging to the man so much as the woman flaunting herself, her diamond, and thusly her man to her friends (and whoever sees the ring). It's a good thing to have a flashy, sparkle-y diamond.

You can give me a huge diamond, Matt. I would certainly appreciate it.

I've been needing a new drill bit for a while, see.
