diamonds and sapphires are both considered acceptable engagement gemstones. sapphires are more old fashioned. (fiance is a manager of jewelry store)

If you know you're serious about her, and you can afford to think about diamonds, how about a down payment on a nice house or condo? It's impressive, and it's far more useful than a pretty rock.

It's a bit a hard putting a house or condo on the ring finger.

Seconded.

 

[AreaCode707]

Ask her what kind of stones she likes and then pick the hardest one (less damage from everyday wear).

 

[ElFenix]

sapphire... not only is it actually rare, it'll still be worth something in 30 years

 

[Vortex22]

Sapphire is pretty.
