So, we're looking for a pretty slender ring - nothing chunky. This world doesn't have mythril, but platinum's not a bad alternative in terms of something that's hard to damage. It's a silvery metal, too.
That said, Felix might choose to wear his ring on a necklace or something, to avoid its being in the line of fire in the first place, so it might not be a bad idea to give him a nice strong chain to go with it.
That said, like you said, this is nontraditional to begin with. I don't know if there are a lot of 'traditional' men's engagement rings. But wedding bands are gold, right? Engagement rings made of something else doesn't seem that odd.
Personally, I think if you want gems, then you'd be better off with a bunch of little ones than one single big one. Especially if they're going to be inlaid anyway. They could have some sort of pattern that way, and be understated in a way a single big stone can't really be. Buuuut you don't exactly sound sold on gems yet. Still, let's follow that possibility for now and see where it leads - if you were going to get Felix a gem, or gems, what kind would they be? What color?
