I said my piece earlier. But, I agree with Erika that an engagement ring is THE main piece of jewelry I would love to wear. Other pieces are nice, but nothing is so special or symbolic as that. The stone does not have to be golf ball size, but I would hope its a diamond and larger than a pinhead.
While some may say, "love is the important thing, not the ring," I say, "true," but all things being equal (i.e., there is a good reason for him not giving a ring), then YES the ring is important, and it should be a priority for him, just as I should be a priority, too.
It may be PC or seem "ultra modern" to minimize the ring, or forego a big wedding, or h'mmm, not get married at all and just live together. That may be your ticket, but its not mine.
Getting married IS a big deal to me and I want all the pomp and ritual that goes with it. I know lots of guys who would rather skip all this baloney (as some guys might say), but hey!!!...."I'm worth it."...lol.
