 Obviously rings are the traditional thing. However, who says you have to be bound by tradition. I think you can attribute meaning and sentiment to any item you choose to.
When my friends mum and dad got engaged, he could not afford a ring at the time and instead gave her his earring while he saved up. She still cherishes the earring 40 years later despite having her ring.
When I got engaged to my ex I did the diamond ring thing, but since it is not the norm to get guys engagement rings (not where I come from anyway) I bought him a diamond stud just to have something symbolic in return - that he would actually wear and not be a safety hazard with his job.
My current guy swapped earrings with me too - not as an engagement thing - but it got him lots of brownie points anyway lol.
A friend of mine, also was proposed to by a guy who could not yet afford a decent ring, but got engaged, coverted religions to do so, and her and her fiance got tattoo's of matching crosses to symbolize their engagement/conversion. (Tho something tells me she will one day regret that, ...when he gives he one slappin too many *sigh*)
Not a diverse list by any means, but just the things a little diff that I have known of.
