amethyst okay for an engagement ring?
My boyfriend has popped the Question and I said yes, and we're trying to decide on a ring. Neither of us care for diamonds. I've heard of non-diamond engagement rings but they seem to always be "precious" stones, that is, ruby, emerald or sapphire. My favorite stone is the amethyst, which is considered only "semi-precious" but I just love that purple color, and it can come in huge sizes. Would a semi-precious stone like an amethyst be considered appropriate for an engagement ring? Also, if I were to get an amethyst, or any non-diamond stone for that matter, what do I tell nosy people who ask why I didn't get a diamond?

Well... you can get whatever the hell you want. It is after all, YOUR ring.
And when people ask why you didn't get a diamond, just be upfront with them. Tell them you wanted what you got instead. Piece of cake.

aw i think that is so cute! first of all congrats to the both of you. I definitly think a purple ring is awesome! It is unique to you so you should get whatever you want. If anyone asks, just tell them that it fits your personality and you're the one wearing it so they should have no concern ! <333

I don't think that it would be inappropriate to have an amethyst as an engagment ring. In fact.. if you like it - get it. Tell those nosy people that you have to wear it and look at it for the rest of your life, so why get a stone you don't really like?
I don't think there is a set of "rules" about which stone is right or wrong for an engagement right. Only you can decide.

You tell them you got the amethyst because it is you favorite stone.
I don't think there are any rules (not by any "real people" anyway, perhaps diamond jewelers) about what type of stone is or isn't appropriate for an engagement ring. Get what you like to look at!
Congratulations. :)

Purple is my happy thought...
Wear what you want and what you like. Don't be bound by traditions if they don't have meaning for you. There are those who might not consider your semi-precious ring inappropriate. Those are the kinds of people who are so stuck in traditions they have forgotten the meaning of the ring is to bind two people together and symbolize that eternal bond. Why would you want to symbolize your life with the one you love with a ring neither of you like?
As for those who ask, I'm all for humorous answers to obnoxious questions, but in this case I think a bright smile and a clear voice saying "Because this is what I wanted!" is all that you need.

Well its fine wear what you want.. I mean you plan on wearing this for the rest of your life so you might as well wear something you like/love.. If nosy people ask just tell them its what you liked and wanted.. ♥ Dez
