Pearl Gemstone

Poll: Diamonds or a non-traditional stone?
Happy Thanksgiving Ladies! Just for my own curiosity, would you prefer a non-traditional stones (CZ, Moissanite, pearl, sapphire, Gem, etc) or a diamond for your engagement ring?
Diamonds do not interest me and are too expensive for what you get. I would much rather another stone.
