I have said, I don’t really want a ring (although, if I was being completely honest, a nice little ring from etsy or something would be nice. Absolutely nothing over $200 tops. I’m thinking more like $50 is fine.) but I would much much rather spend that money on an awesome vacation somewhere.

This is exactly what I would do. I like jewelry but I don’t need a ring.

I’m so lucky my wife hates to wear any jewelry. Instead, we took the money I would have spent on a stupid ring and made a nice down payment on a house.
