Ideals
Drow typically do not beholden themselves to the same beauty standards due to their nocturnal and anti-solar nature. Even so, many Drow are considered beautiful, or at the very worst conventionally attractive due to their fairer Elven heritage.
Underdark Drow
Drow who live within the Underdark tend to court their loved ones with precious stones that they find in the deep. Due to the abundance of valuable metals and minerals in the deeper places of the world, many Drow will learn how to craft at least basic objects with these materials. As such, when one Drow wishes to marry (called Dithema in Dauraf) they traditional propose using an object made of such precious material; usually a ring, bracelet, necklace, or earrings.
While it is considered rare for Drow couples to split up, the truth of the matter is that due to the long lived nature of elves in general, especially Drow, they may live their entire lives with a different partner per century, or they may mate for life. Like many other humanoids, this aspect of Drow life is vast and complicated.
