[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there's something called an Amora Gem (look up BetterThanDiamond.com) that is a very realistic-looking diamond alternative that is a fraction of what a diamond would cost.  That might be an option.

I agree with everyone else.  Don't finance a ring! My husband did and though it was not very much money, it still was more than he could afford at the time and I should've stuck to my principles.

Personally, I would scour pre-loved jewelry sites (DiamondBistro.com and LoupeTroop.com come to mind) and purchase something within your budget. I don't know how old your child is, but I have two and they get expensive  :wink:  At this point, especially because you are quite young and have many years of earning power before you, I would go with a very modest budget, or at least whatever you have in cash that you want to spend.  I would buy either a more traditional engagement ring within that budget or get a kick-ass diamond eternity ring or 5, 7, or 9 stone band and pair it with a thin plain wedding band (though I know that idea is less appealing to many).[/quote]

Thank you, PP!! I appreciate you.  Will be looking at those sites! :) :)[/quote]
