What should I do about a purity ring?

I have made a very strong commitment to purity. I have wanted a ring to symbolize it since I was 12. I'm 19 now.



Seeing as I am not a little preteen anymore, I don't just want one of those "true love waits" rings I can pick up at my local Christian bookstore. I want something nice. Obviously, I don't want to go out and buy an extremely expensive ring since I'm only 19 and in college, but I want a nice ring.



I absolutely love diamonds and pearls- especially pearls. As much as I'd like to buy an inexpensive diamond ring, I might decide to save that for an actual engagement ring. I've seen a few rings that I've fallen in love with- all with diamonds and pearls. Unfortunately, pearls are apparently pretty fragile, and I would be wearing this ring every day.



Any suggestions?What should I do about a purity ring?
I think you could use any ring you want as a purity ring. Diamonds are definitely tougher (so is Moissanite). However, depending on the kind of of pearl, they are not always fragile. Gemstones vary in hardness as well.What should I do about a purity ring?
