That’s pretty close right? No such thing. Next step down is .999 pure and well, I could accept that I guess Eh, shows how much I know, lol

By the clack-smack cracking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes. I don't remember seeing you on the guestlist for the dinner party. We're having a wrap party for The Misfits about 40 years late. Cast and crew only, boss... Gary!

You can actually get .999 fine silver but it's soft as all get out and I wouldn't recommend it for jewelry.
It'd probably make you look like a cheapskate, silver right now is worth 87 cents per gram, compared to 62 bucks for gold, 76 for palladium, and 30 and change for platinum.
Don't let the platinum price fool you. It's denser, and you need more of it to make an equivalent item. it ends up costing more.
24 karat gold is also too soft to make jewelry out of.
That said, I'd worry less about what people think of you and more about what you think of her opinion.
I'd be offended by something expensive. Especially if money is regularly tight. I had no engagement ring for my current marriage. My last one was amethyst rather than diamond.
Unrelated side note, my dad's got covid, as does his 98 year old friend.
Sighs...

Her favorite color is darkish green. I want to get her an emerald ring made of a whitish metal. Sorry to hear about your dad! I hope he’ll be ok!

Well we are about 2.5hrs car ride inland so storms are only rarely hurricane status by the time they reach us, but we do tend to get a lot of evacuees fleeing the coastal areas. At risk of sounding like a snot, evacuees aren’t always the most pleasant. Given the circumstances of their being here, I should probably cut the unpleasant ones a little slack, but I just feel that if you are being taken in by another community during stressful times, maybe you shouldn’t act like a total jackass?

Unfortunately, that sentiment is not universal.
