It has a high degree excellence and durability which makes a morganite a great candidate for daily wear.

A KNOT RING
A knot ring symbolizing the entwining of two lives is a great option for an engagement ring especially for women with simpler tastes.
Now when you are tying knots with each other, why not do it with a knot ring? This ring is made by interlocking two overhand knots in two parallel wires which are inseparable forever.

The only problem with pearls are, they can tarnish eventually so you can either choose smaller pearls surrounding hardier gemstones or choose it if you plan to wear it occasionally.
