My partner and I specifically avoided diamonds (and ultimately all gemstones) for our engagement rings. We went for unobtrusive silver rings, then shelled out for good quality gold wedding rings from a craftsperson we both knew. I think we spent about $1500 on rings in total and, can you believe it, our marriage has not fallen apart because we didn't spend thousands of dollars getting shiny rocks for our fingers.

Well, you did spend 1.5 thousands of dollars... I know people who buy a car for that price

I've bought cars in that price range, but I wouldn't say any of them were "forever".

your marriage was protected from falling apart by shiny metals on your fingers :)

Sssh don't tell anyone that's our secret!
