First off, I'm sorry thrower123, hopefully this might help anyone else from avoiding the same situation...
LPT (maybe) anyone: If you married someone who insists on a new diamond ring (first of all, I'm sorry), just buy secondhand, buy a jeweler's box off eBay, and if she's going to want to see the receipt, use all the money you saved to buy a thermal printer (though I wonder if there's a service that will print thermal paper and mail it to you...)
You can say you sold your gold/guns/whatever, hide it somewhere, and if you get divorced (you did marry someone who wanted this absurdity after all), those assets are now out of the picture because you sold them.
