Question by mathwork: Need idea for unique engagement ring (no diamonds)?

I am about to propose to my girlfriend and need to get a unique engagement ring. She works in the jewelry business and knows A LOT about jewelry. She considers diamonds to be boring and unoriginal – something for the brainwashed masses. Her favorite stone is garnet although I don’t think garnet is fancy enough for an engagement ring. She also likes tourmaline and has mentioned moissanite as being an interesting stone (but it looks like a diamond I think). I think she might like sapphires too. She looks very good in yellow gold although I know white gold is the trendy thing these days.

She hates traditional settings and likes artistic geometric designs.
Can anyone offer a suggestion on an engagement ring stone (definitely no diamonds) and setting for a person highly knowledgeable about jewelry? Or maybe something completely different for an engagement ring idea?
