I used to work at a jewelers. A good quality moissanite is gonna be as close to an actual diamond you can get without getting an actual diamond if that’s what you’re looking for.
As far as metals, gold is the traditional choice but sterling is both less expensive and more durable. If you do go with gold, I would opt for 14 kt over 18 kt personally. The higher the karat number, the purer the gold, which sounds like a good thing but from a practical standpoint is a bit of a PITA because this in effect means higher karats are both more expensive and more fragile because gold is soft. Since typically an engagement ring is worn every day, something that can handle some wear and tear is a plus.
For settings, look for something fairly low with prongs that have a decent heft to them. Tall settings bump into shit ALL THE TIME and eventually the prongs tens to shift and the stone goes flying (again, gold is soft).
Also, look at her other jewelry and talk to her about what her tastes are. There’s no rule that says it “has to be” anything if a more standard ring isn’t her thing. Going with her favorite color or her birthstone and working from there can be a good option.
That was my thought too. This is sweeping and broad enough there’s honestly likely multiple ways to just use the ruling to undo the ruling.
While it’s definitely PRESENT in Lord of the Rings, one could argue Frodo himself is a subversion of it. Giving the ring to someone powerful would almost inevitably result in corrupting them and (depending on just how powerful they were) would just make a new big bad. Hobbits work as ring bearers explicitly because they’re not “special”.
“Act of God”
No, that’s just if Thor or Loki smashes your car.
When I worked there in 2008ish it was still the 79, 89, 99 cent menu.

Bassist from Train apparently fell in the shower and died recently if that counts.
Not as far as “dumb” per se but I would accept “less smart” in exchange for physical buttons and a removable battery.
Worked at Taco Bell in '08/'09 and we had a regular who would come in with a whole ass zip lock bag full of change and stand there playing that thing for an hour plus.
There’s a hot sauce I regularly get that’s scorpion pepper and prickly pear and it’s amazing. Fruity to the point of being almost bubble gum sweet at first and then the heat hits.
Yeah, realistically this hypothetical person just grabbed eggs while they were at the Wawa. Nobody goes on a whole ass Costco run when they were already making dinner just for fucking eggs.
My best guess is he’s technically her half brother: OOP’s mother (daughter of the grandma in question) + OOP’s father’s father = OOP’s bruncle-husband. In turn, this would make Cletus the Fetus OOP’s nephew/niece, aunt/uncle, cousin, and stepchild. We’re wandering into medieval royalty levels of incest here.
There was Big Bob’s Beepers on Hey Arnold.
Essentially it’s coal fired at very high temperatures so the crust has a distinct consistency.
This is the none pizza left beef of sandwiches
There were definitely a lot of kids ones in the early 90s that were basically the glasses in the OP but in an assortment of colors. My first pair was a purple and white speckled version of the 80s “serial killer” glasses.
That kid just REALLY hates Mr. Goodbar’s
Shh!" said Ford. “It’s conical. So what you do is, you see, you fill it with fine white sand, alright? Or sugar. Fine white sand, and/or sugar. Anything. Doesn’t matter. Sugar’s fine. And when it’s full, you pull the plug out… are you listening?” “I’m listening.” "You pull the plug out, and it all just twirls away, twirls away you see, out of the plughole. “Clever.” “That’s not the clever bit. This is the clever bit, I remember now that this is the clever bit. The clever bit is that you then thread the film in the projector… backwards!” “Backwards?” “Yes. Threading it backwards is definitely the clever bit. So then, you just sit and watch it, and everything just appears to spiral upwards out of the plughole and fill the bath. See?” “And that’s how the Universe began is it?” said Arthur. “No,” said Ford, "but it’s a marvelous way to relax.
They can include the bath water for half price so you can make soup!
