I would suggest, for non-traditional people as you are, instead of having gold and diamonds or expensive material anyway, to try a less expensive route but keeping the meaning of something that it's intended to last forever or at least for a very long time. Nowadays you can get beautiful sterling silver rings with gemstones which have different meanings and properties, as you say she's not the type of woman who thinks diamonds are a girl's best friends, the point it's to show her that you consider the proposal and the whole "ritual" important, she will have something physical to remind her of your love and silver could be more in tune with her personality that diamonds and gold, something that she will wear every day with "gusto" and goes better with her character.
Another point is you can buy new and you don't have to worry about cleaning, you don't need to go mining or spend much time in fairs, state sales, etc., sterling it's easy to find.
I wish you the best and I know somehow you'll make the right decision.
