I've got a wedding tattoo. That's more permanent than any ring, and a better proof of commitment, at much less cost.
Though the best proof of commitment would be to invest in and provide for a common future. Buy a house, take care of kids, etc. That's real commitment, not just some hollow symbol at extravagant cost.
But if you do want extravagant expense as proof of your commitment, you could also spend it on the wedding itself. Why not go for a $10K wedding instead of a $10K ring?
