I think he means that the pearl was set in white gold.

As long as she isn't cooking or whatever deals with vinegar, like cleaning or something, she'll be fine. My mom has a pearl ring she wears on a daily basis and it's held up really well, because she takes it off when she cooks/bakes and washes her hands.

Rubies and sapphires are nice hard stones, and long wearing. And they are beautiful. Sapphires come in tons of colors. They are both rarer than diamonds. So are emeralds, but you don't want an emerald on a daily ring. Too soft. It'll scratch right up.

While it's just a mindless read, read Shock Wave by Clive Cussler for a decent overview of the whole Diamond vs other precious stones story.

I've probably surpassed the forum accepted posts-per-day count, however in the "Official Haul" thread I showed off my engagement ring. I received my ring as a Christmas gift, though my fiance and I have been engaged for two years now.
On the note of what kind of rings to go for, I have seen the full spectrum from tasteless to dazzling. My parents wear pewter rings with celtic knotwork, though for special occasions I have seen my mother break out the old traditional diamond solitaire my father proposed with.
My first marriage (boy howdy what a failure) found me wearing white gold band with no stone, as did my husband.
Rather than attempt to describe the beauty of my ring, here's the picture I posted of it, after which I'll cease my prattling:
