a long story short: my fiance and I agreed that we wanted to marry each other about a year ago. we didn't get a ring then, not for any particular reason other than just not worrying about it, but we've started looking at some together so he could get an idea what I like and what I don't like.

I don't care for big stone, or rings with a lot accent diamonds on them. In truth, I'm not a fan of diamonds in general because I think they're boring (lol) and I have always liked the idea of an alternative gemstones, or even semi-precious stones. this is the thing that makes us clash a bit. my fiance is kind enough to not buy anything until he's certain, but he wants to get me a fancy diamond ring.

I have no idea why he's so set on this, and when I asked why he explained it as "weird that I don't want diamonds on the ring" and even said he doesn't understand why I can't just let him buy one.
