"No, no, not yet that." César puts up a hand. "I'm thinking of asking a friend of hers to go halfway with me. It's... just something pretty for her, because she doesn't have any jewelry here. She's saving up her money and being all fiscally responsible."

What he doesn't say: César's fairly certain Magne hasn't ever had jewelry gifted to her nor could afford it for herself. Hence silver instead of gold... easing into the idea of having something fancy, and something that wouldn't be out of place with a range of outfits.
