Okay so here's a tip that I didn't need to be told because I figured out of my own. Ask her what she likes. If you don't want to do that for whatever stupid reason, then casually point out a ring you saw and ask her what she thinks. There are subtle ways to handle it. "I saw a wedding ring that used a sapphire, what do you think of that" or "hey look at the ring in this picture I saw online," then listen to her opinion. If you do that a few times she might start to actually realize that you're going to ask her to marry you and give you useful feedback, assuming she doesn't state something useful in the meantime, such as "diamond would be better" or "I like that design but not the gemstones."
Of course if you haven't talked about that kind of thing already, clearly you're doing something wrong. My fiancee knew I was going to ask her to marry her, just not when or how. Well she figured out on the day that was coming because your girl is almost certainly better at picking up on subtlety than you are, especially when it comes to you.

My wife’s engagement ring was custom made! It is a key blade with the kingdom hearts logo on the front, with tiny tiny diamonds on the hearts and 3 small sapphires in the little crown on the heart. I tried to get moissanite, but because the diamonds are so small, they said they don’t make moissanite that small, and it would save fractions of a dollar.
It cost me less than half a semester’s tuition in college, so not super expensive like the “3 months salary” bullcrap.
In fact, I had to go through two jewelers for this because when I was pitching the concept to the first one, they saw the Disney logo on the key blade and refused to do it. I just clipped that out when I went to another shop.
That first jeweler is smart. The second was erased by a Disney hit squad.
Am I the only one who thinks this looks cool? If he said nothing about it being related to Iron Man 3 (one of the worst MCU movies at the time) I think it would have been acceptable. Wedding rings a fucking stupid anyway buying an expensive one just means you are a mark who does not deserve money.
i think iron man 3 is too overhated it has so many well done aspects to it that i can look past its faults

Thumbnail looks like a horny cacodemon.
yall know you don't need to buy these things right?
Go find a funny rock or two somewhere on a stream, it's as good as any ring, except you can't wear it on your finger, which is probably good anyway.
Even if you want a ring, we got wooden rings. Cost like $100 for some really nice ones with fire opal inlay from an online craftsman. I've already cracked mine a little by being a dumbass with heavy car parts so I'm just ordering another. It's cheap, and on top of that if I had dropped a brake rotor onto a gold or metal ring it might have gotten flattened and trapped on my finger. The wood just cracked a little and flexed right back into its original shape.
If I had a lathe and some motivation I could even make my own, but I'm happy paying the relatively modest price of a single Benjamin for a well crafted ring with inlay.

I got my husband an engagement watch. It's an analog watch with a 24 hour dial, and it was very hard to find. He was delighted (especially since the ring he was getting made for me was delayed by about 4 months because of Covid)

Will you marry me and wear this awful thing on your hand?
