What's a good alternative to a diamond for an engagement ring?

Platinum, rusty iron, lolipop-diamond... I hear someone even tattoo'd a ring on. Just um, don't try to hit up the bar without a glove or peach paint.
 
don't do it...you will pay for it the rest of your life.....women remember everything and NEVER let you forget.

I have a friend that did that.

If you give her any ring and she says "No" then she is a gold digging bitch and you shouldn't bother in the first place.
 
If you ever want to get laid by the girl in question ever again, accept no substitutes for a diamond.

Some of what the ring symbolizes is not as trivial as you are making it out to be. You are making a big sacrifice parting with a hefty chunk of change and that is what is important. The ring itself is not important, but the act of showing your commitment is. You can do this any way you want, but don't think just because someone chooses to be traditional that she is a gold digging bitch. If a guy is too selfish to part with some of his money or make a big sacrifice for her in some other way, then she has a right to turn him down. It's not about the amount of money or the rock, but those just happen to be convenient ways to make the sacrifice tangible. If you can find a better way, then by all means go do it. My only regret is that I wish I would have bought a man made diamond instead of a 'real' one.

Not many people need cattle these days, but I'll take a new TV.

That's all that it symbolizes now-a-days. Rings are just for show-off just like a big wedding ceremony is.
