Rob used the money he had saved for my engagement ring to pay for my "last hurrah" trip as a single girl with 2 girlfriends. We drove from MI to NYC and stayed for 2 days, then drove and camped our way to MD and stayed with my aunt for 2 weeks. It was a WONDERFUL time for me, and him making it possible was an amazing gift to me.
My sister in law has a beautiful crystal ring that she loves as much as she would a diamond. I think it's all a matter of personal opinion.

I agree, it's all a matter of personal choice.
When Joe and I got engaged we volunteered with our church youth group. One of the kids (who was also the younger brother of my best friend) always teased me by saying, "Gee that's a beautiful ring! You can't even tell it's cubic zirconia!" It's not...but I always told that kid that I wouldn't be mad if it was...I *would* be mad if Joe spent as much as he did on CZ...rofl.
To me, it's not the rock that determines how much he loves me, it's the fact that he offered it to me. :o) And when we went out looking he was checking out the solitaires and I was like NOOOOO! WAY too big...I worked outside as a land surveyor at the time and I would have been paranoid of losing it. He bought one that has 5 small diamonds and is low profile. there is a gold band on either side of the diamond band and it is just perfect for me. Just enough bling without being too showy. :o)
Of course, the bigger rocks are BEAUIFUL just not my style.
