Engagement Ring Help!

I think it would be ok for every day wear, it's an 8 on the scale I'm pretty sure. Is it the color change she likes or specifically that type of stone? If it's the color change, there are other stones like Marcy suggested that you could get a bigger size for the same or less price.

Actually it's an 8.5 on the hardness scale, as it is in the chrysoberyl family of gems. Only diamond and corundum are harder, so it's very durable. I wear my chrysoberyl a lot, and it's really holding up very well.
