As if getting him to come around to the idea of marriage wasn’t difficult enough, you’ve gotta convince him to spend his hard-earned money on an expensive diamond to prove his love.

In these dark times, no less. Riiiight. Erica Weiner’s Herkimer diamond rings are the perfect compromise.

The six-sided, double-terminated quartz crystals are giant in size and have a diamond-in-the-rough aesthetic but cost only a whopping one hundred bucks (for serious). Each is unique and set by hand in a solitaire, sterling silver, raised-bezel setting.

The baubles are a surefire way to get the dreaded conversation started.

And to assure him your love is solid as a rock.
