Wife and I decided on moissanite. It's big, extra sparkly, and was at the time 1/10 the price a similar diamond would be. Almost as hard, too - won't get scratched except by another moissanite or a diamond.

Eh it's now about 1/3 the price. Lab diamonds are getting cheap. Still a solid option though.

Ah, I haven't kept up, I edited my post a little. Thanks!

This is what I always say. When people want diamonds they either want them because they're pretty or expensive. If you want expensive then buy a gold bullion, if you want pretty buy a moissanite, for both, buy both.

I got engagement with moissanite for my now-wife. She says it is too big and firery-sparkly. Costed me almost nothing compared to a micro-sized diamond on a silver ring I'd get at a major jeweler.
