> It's a bit of a stretch to say that only diamond rings are acceptable
"only" is a pretty exclusive word, but I don't think it's a stretch saying that only diamond rings are acceptable in the general case. Especially amongst the reasonably affluent class that you'll find a lot of on HN, not getting a diamond for a spouse would be unusual enough that friends would whisper behind your backs about it.
(And to be clear, I'm of the opinion that this is crazy.)
