Answer #13 Everyone has already answered you as to whether apromise ring is an engagement ring, so I won't gointo that.But, if you're looking to buy anengagement ring for less, try a different stoneother than a diamond...maybe her birthstone or asapphire, which is another durable gem. That way,you can afford to get her a larger stone that youwould be able to otherwise. Take a look at thejewelry she owns and see what stones she favors. Also, look into the meanings of some of thestones: topaz is the stone of true love, emeraldis fidelity, and so on.
