I got my fiancee (now my wife) a beautiful pearl necklace as an engagement present. She was very happy with it. She later admitted wanting a diamond but didn't seem to resent me about it once I explained my reason for not getting one. (ethical as opposed to fiscal). If you feel buying diamonds is wrong, don't do so. You wouldn't get her a crack rock and a black market baby as an engagement present, why buy a stone with an almost equally dirty history?
