Engagement rings

You're right, engagement rings are so not indie. In fact, the whole idea of asking a girl to marry you is horribly conformist.

In an effort to save money by getting a unique engagement ring instead of one with a huge diamond in it, I found this awesome jewelry store that makes awesome unique rings. I got to meet the artist and she sketched out the ring design from similar ones they had in the store. It was great to be a part of the process of the ring design. My wfie loved that her ring is one of a kind. The diamond is very tiny and flush against the ring. She decided that she didn't want a wedding band and wears the engagement ring as both. We also had my band made there. It is a hammered design that once again there are similar styled rings that they have made, but it is unique to me.
Funny story. When I was telling the first artist in the store that I knew that my girlfriend soon to be wife would prefer a unique ring over one with a large diamond, he said, "You're a lucky man." How true in so many ways.

That ring is beautiful, Richard!
My engagement ring will likely be put away in a special place just like my mother does for hers, as my fiance and I are going to have damascus steel rings made for our wedding bands. So yes, my engagement ring is inexpensive, but for being my first diamond I can honestly tell you it's value doesn't match the price tag. I get misty eyed just thinking about it. *grabs a kleenex and congratulates all on their pretties*

I like the small, flush diamond look as well! Richardsdm, your lady has good taste:)
Here is mine, I love the tension-set floating bit

Wow, that's gorgeous! I'd be so paranoid it would fall out, though.
