Soon-to-be fiance wants cheap Engagement Ring?

My girlfriend/future wife has requested a cheap ring. She wants it to contain no real Diamonds, only cubic zirconium(sp), white gold/silver(because she hates the color of gold), and has stated over and over that she would worry about something happening to it every time she put it on her finger. She has sent a few links to overstock.com to her best friend of a ring that fits all of her classifications and costs a mere $25. I feel really bad about the idea of buying such a cheap ring because I’ve always assumed engagement Rings were expensive, and I feel like she deserves the best of the best. My question(s): What is the average price most people spend on an engagement ring? Is it normal for me to feel the way I do? Should I attempt to convince her to go for a more expensive ring?

I have several Diamonique items from QVC.com. that is their brand of Cubic Zirconia. Some of my stones are over 15 years old, and look great.

The last time I had my engagement ring’s insurance appraisal updated, it was 10 times what my husband paid for it, and I am afraid to wear the thing. He bought me a Diamonique ring almost like my original. I am happier wearing that out of the house, than my original ring.

I suggest the two of you look at Diamonique rings online at QVC.com.

No, I don’t work there, and I don’t own any stock in the company. I’m just a satisfied customer.

You could put the money you would have spent on a ring in the bank. Some day, like for a 15th anniversary, she might change her mind. Buy her a real diamond then.
