I have a really hard time with rings. I really want to get my SO a beautiful ring, but I want to bang my head against the wall. There is nothing available besides "rock placed on a ring" type of design (if you can call it design at all). I want something beautiful and unique. Might have to end up looking for one when I am in Moscow. Same goes for rings... I've looked through hundreds of pages - nothing that would make me want them.

Unfortunately they do not design rings from the man's point of view, but the American Woman's point of view a rock on a ring... and the bigger the rock the better....

That's exactly why I am against engagement rings.

Have you checked out Etsy? There are tons of creative people making unique jewelry.

And this guy here makes really beautiful rings, too, and you can also order them long-distance: http://www.surprisegold.com/ Not cheap, but more economical than a big rock, and MUCH more unique... I personally am in love with his work.

Much less expensive, and also very unique are the rings from this site: http://www.turtlelovecommittee.com/

There's many options besides the "classic" American engagement ring!

I love the second link. I just forwarded it to Oksana. That is what I am looking for. I despise wearing jewelery in general so I said I wanted to pick something that is low key and looks comfortable. Thank you for the links. I have been driving myself crazy for something like that.

I'm glad you like them! We couldn't order from them because they don't seem to make my size (I have VERY small fingers, less than 4.5 -- although I didn't check if they do custom sizes as well). But I do think the Turtle Love Committee rings rock!

I have no earthly idea what Oksana's size is. She is little, but not extremely so we should be ok. Pending her approval of course. It's just not that big of a deal to me. If you know of any other sites like that I wouldn't hate you for posting them here.

Lee, I'd like to warn you that even though there is a conversion table for sizes US vs EU, things are still off. Make sure when you buy, you can re-size or just pick something while Oksana is there to try it on.

You can always resize easily if you find a jeweler that uses laser technology. I had to do that with my engagement ring, and it was just €20. With laser technology, stones don't need to be taken out and reset for resizing. Unfortunately, though, there isn't a whole lot of jewelers who have this equipment yet.

Susan we are all about the entertainment and comfort here.

Igor I don't plan on buying anything until she is on US soil. I know that whatever I do in this department will somehow get screwed up. Especially since I know nothing of ring sizes. I am confident in myself to know what i can and cannot do. We are a pretty traditional couple in our roles. This is for us, her thing and her decision.
