Stick with Platinum.
It is hypoallergenic. Platinum is really nice in that it has weight to it. Though it scratches easily, it can be easily polished too without it wearing out.
Over time, Platinum ends up having a patina look to it. Some people actually like that. It depends on personal tastes. But once again, it can be polished up without wear for that bright shiny look.
Or you can try Palladium. It’s in the same family of elements as Platinum, but costs less. It is also hypoallergenic and can be polished up for that bright shiny look.
I have a Palladium wedding band, and my wife has a Platinum one. They look the same.
White gold depends a lot on a person’s skin chemistry. If the wearer’s skin chemistry is highly acidic, the plating on white gold will be eaten away in time.
Then the ring will have that yellowish look to it. By having it dipped in Rhodium and polished up again, you can have that bright shiny white gold look again. It’s more expensive maintenance, though cheaper in the beginning.
And I usually don’t recommend yellow gold because it will give a diamond a warmer look to it. What’s the point in having a diamond that’s colorless or near colorless only to have it made yellowish by the yellow gold band?!

My wedding ring is a platinum ring that has been in my husband’s family for several generations. We got it resized for about $50.
My husband’s ring is a white gold ring that we got at an antique store and it’s from the same era. I think it cost about $150.
So our costs would be in your budget — but one of the rings was already in the family….
I think you might have some luck looking at antique stores.
Platinum is considered one of the best metals for rings. Older rings tend to be made out of this material — it didn’t used to be so popular and trendy as it is today. I don’t know about platinum plated, though. That might not be as reliable and probably would be harder to fix if it gets damaged.
Titanium is really strong and long lasting. I think stainless steel is similarly a good choice for long-lasting rings.

white gold could work too. platinum would be very expensive but it is quite durable. the higher the karat weight the softer the gold so you’ll probably want to stick with 18 karats for your rings (if you decide on gold). silver could work, but if you take it off it will tarnish. i’ve never heard of a steel ring but…ok..if that’s what you like
also it’s no big deal if you don’t want a diamond. diamond engagement rings are a fairly recent tradition. you can get good deals on semi-precious stones like lemon quartz, smoky quartz, rose quartz, things like that. it’s all about what makes you happy.
