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.

I kind of agree when it comes to engagement ring... but since my SO will live here in the States... I didnt want all the 'other' ladies looking down their noses at her.... and it is also a little ingrained in me as an American man... So the one I decided to get her was modest... so maybe a win/win solution?

Eventhough I grew up in the US, I wasn't born here and certain things stayed with me from the days in Ukraine. So for me exchanging of rings is between two people. Not you, your wife and her girlfriends (who will compare rings to see which ones are bigger and better). Giving someone a ring is a serious thing and not a popularity contest. That's just my opinion.

If other people feel differently, that's perfectly fine.

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!
