If I don’t get a colored gem for my engagement ring, I’d be pissed. I don’t want a diamond. The ring should be representative of your future marriage and what your girlfriend likes/wants. If you purposely ignore the ring that SHE HERSELF picked out because YOU don’t like it, that says a lot about how you view your significant other. It shows her you don’t care what she wants or likes because you’re so stuck on “tradition”
