Keo,

    I'm not sure whether you're an annoying customer but I think you're
    losing sight of the trees in the forest (or whatever that quote is).
    You're buying rings that have importance for their meaning, not
    their content in this case. You are buying rings that symbolize your
    commitment to your partner. There is nothing that will take the
    romance more out of that experience than over analyzing what you're
    buying. I'm not saying you shouldn't have some idea about what
    you're getting, and certainly all stores should disclose what they
    are selling, but if you were my fiancee I'd be mad as heck at you
    that you were spending all this time on what amounts to minute
    differences in the metal instead of getting me a ring I really
    wanted to wear (and if it's an engagement ring, I'd want it now
    instead of in 6 months when you get done deciding what might possibly
    be a metal just slightly better than some other one).
