Well, what I'm finding is that rings are darn cheap.  And certain
jewels aren't too bad (like saphires, her favorite).  When one sees
jaw dropping ring prices, most of that is the diamond(s) (and/or
labor), so I'm doing pretty well to have one usefull for a center
diamond.  

What I see as ideal here is a simple ring with just one stone in it.
This is my ignoring costs I think would suit her best choice.  My
mother is encouraging I pick something simple, but not quite that
simple.  Like maybe something with saphire accents.  I haven't decided
which to do yet.  Deb has a pretty small hand with fairly delicate
fingers (delicate features in general), so simple and elegent is
definately the way to go.
