As the topic mentioned, i would like to seek some advise from you guys as is it wise to choose a non-diamond ring as a proposal ring? Since there are alot more gem choices other than diamond which can be fractionally cheaper.

I do understand some of the opinion of getting a diamond as they will say us men dont understnd diamond, leave it to women. Or, geting married is once in a lifetime, should get a diamond ring.

But is that really necessary to get one?
