agree  azepgonz: The original sentence, without further contetext, may mean at least two different things: either it does not look much like an engagement ring or it is not worth as much as an engagement ring. The translation should reflect the same ambivalence.

it's not much of an engagement ring
no es que sea un anillo de compromiso del otro mundo


Explanation:
La expresión "no es nada del otro mundo" puede reflejar también que no es gran cosa y deja la puerta abierta a dejar la idea así o a añadir algo positivo que lo contrarreste.
