May I wish I fine luck upon ANYONE whom dares to buy a low cost (financially and morally) engagement ring for his / her wannabe boo. You know she / he / they want those $$$$$ (<- yes, 5 $'s) for when you screw up and them leaving you costs you all that hard earned scratch. Gotta make the price of the cheating too high to bare. Edith will haunt her... but her lawyer wills end you to debt (a suburb of Hell, but nicer lawns).
It's kinda cheesy, but I plan on getting my spouse a hematite ring.
And instead of using the ring to represent eternal love, I'll say that it represent all the trials and tribulations that any relationship must overcome.
And when it breaks, because hematite is notoriously brittle, we'll have moved past the problems. Having accept that they exist, yet still chosen to be together in spite of them.
Idk if I'll ever get married but if I do, my dream ring is a slightly slimmer reproduction of the One Ring made out of some durable material like tungsten.
