Good for your girl! Diamonds are overrated and overpriced.

If you want to get her a "promise ring," pick out an inexpensive ring with a stone you know she'll like. She can always wear it later as just regular jewelery.

A nice thing to do is to go with her to a local jeweler who does custom designs and have them help you pick out a stone and craft a setting. It'll be one-of-a-kind, personalized, and you'll be supporting artisans instead of conglomorates. I have several friends who have gone this route, and their rings are so beautiful I just can't stop looking at them.
