are u particular with an engagement ring? i mean is it really impt. for u to have a diamond ring? or anything will do as long as you love him/her and vice versa.. i ask this question because i want to know exactly ur feeling.. in soap opera or movies they are contended with just any ring as long as love is in the air, but is this really the reality? in my case, my husband bought an 18K engagement ring but the truth is i want more than that...i am also dreaming to have a diamond ring... what about u?

I have a diamond ring. in general, they are no more expensive than rings with other stones.
I did want a diamond ring, in white gold, as they look really classic and elegant.
I have lots of lovely jewellery, but a diamond solitaire is what most people think of when they think of an engagement ring.
I suppose it was important to me to look like an engagement ring, rather than just looking like other rings I have. especially as I have, in the past, worn other rings on the ring finger of my left hand.
I adore my diamond as it's so, so sparkly and really cheers me up if I'm feeling a bit rubbish.

According to the conversion chart, my ring was only £395($800). And it's a .6 carat. I got mine from a local wholesaler.

not that expensive, as stones go.
price will always depend on things like size and clarity.
you can get a diamond ring for about £50, with a small, maybe rather flawed stone, but still pretty.
my engagement ring was £410 (I know because we chose it together) and there were similar rings with other stones for about the same. my diamond is a .25 carat, which is fairly small in terms of what's availiable, but it's a really beautifully sparkly and well cut stone.
but you can get them a lot cheaper. I've seen pendants with a small diamond for about £20.

I wasn't proposed to with a diamond ring. I didn't say no, but I made it clear to him that I wanted a diamond ring. We saved up and got me one. Presumably, marriage is forever and as such, I want the ring that I wear forever to be something I like and want to wear.

Considering that my boyfriend is actually anti-marriage, but yet willing to go through it because he loves me and he knows I want to, I'd be happy with a plastic toy ring.
The fact that he loves me enough to go against something he doesn't really believe in is enough proof of love. I don't need the ring.

I guess any woman would love to have a diamond ring. But I think that should not be the point of a relationship. In any relationship, what matters most is the love you have for each other. You are lucky enough to have that 18k engagement ring, isn't it enough for you. Diamond ring is just a symbolism for unending love, love that can withstand time, hard to surpass all your trials in life and love that will not perish.
The real diamond is the love that you have for each other, how can you pass the test of time.
If your husband can afford to give you a bigger diamond ring...then why not? But don't let it be the measure and focus of your relationship. Call me a hopeless romantic, but diamonds or no diamonds, I'll still love my husband.
