This trend in romance requires just a single gem to your ring finger via dermal anchor instead of an expensive jewelry.

The painful process involves using a dermal punch to remove a small circle of flesh from the finger.  Then a small dermal anchor is inserted into the hole. A small base secures the dermal anchor in place. You can see more than a handful of engagement piercings on Instagram, along with other micro dermal ring bling in various stages of healing.
