Engagement Rings?

So, my fiancee proposed to me with a beautiful ring. I mean, it's stunning. And it suits me, physically, and emotionally. It suits my personality. Its a silver banded ring, with a heart shaped pink sapphire as the center stone, with a diamond on both sides. Its beautiful, and very sentimental to me. My favourite colour as a child was pink. Still is, really. She went through a lot of trouble to have it picked out & cut special. The heart is cut a bit different, but here's basically what it looks like:http://www.thisvalentine.com/img/14k-white-gold-heart-shape-pink-sapphire-egagement-ring_lg.jpgSo I was wondering, what sort of engagement rings did you all get/give? How many excused themselves from the normal diamonds? How many stayed classic? Etc etc.

    We didn't do engagement rings either, 2dbride - nice to hear we weren't the only ones!  I wanted the proposal to be a complete surprise, and it would totally have given it away if I were suddenly inquiring about her ring size and taste in jewelry.  Neither of us ever wears rings, but we are going to exchange some sort of wedding bands.  But overall I felt the big diamond ring was sort of more conspicuous consumption than I am comfortable with.
