Did You Help Pick the Ring? - Page 3

We do have an appointement on Monday night with a jeweler to create one as I like various aspects from certain rings and he's always wanted to create one.
I guess I am just missing the suprise aspect of it. Because once I know we create the ring, that will be the one I am getting and its just a matter of time before it goes on my finger.

I spoke to him about it last night, and told him that I did enjoy looking at them, but would ultimately like to leave it upto to him to make the final decision.

We have several more jewellery stores to hit up over the weekend within the city, and if he chooses to do the appointement on Monday to create one based on what we've seen and what I've liked, than thats his choice.

I took my fiance ring shopping just to get an idea of what she would like, she then fell in love with a ring she tried on and I ended up getting that ring. We spend a couple days going to jewelery shops and had a lot of fun looking, spending time together and thinking and talking about our future. She was only a tiny bit surprised when I proposed, more like an affirmation, but in hindsight I am glad I involved her.

My fiance and I picked out the ring together. With us, though, it would have been difficult to do it differently. I wanted a sapphire ring, but I also wanted a ring that was pretty obviously an engagement ring and not a "promise ring" or a "purity ring" (being that I go to a Christian college, those are not uncommon). But again, I didn't want a ring that was to expensive. We saw a ring in the store and had the jeweler hold up a marquis cut sapphire over the diamond that was in place... I knew that second that it was the ring for me, and he knew from my face that it was the ring for me!

However, if the ring had been less difficult to pick out, and if our budget had been a little bigger (thereby unlimiting the options a bit), I would have probably had him do the final picking out of the ring.

Trey and I have been looking around..because he wanted me to pick out my ring..but I pointed out certain styles that I liked instead because ultimately I want him to surprise me and pick out the one he sees fit. I don't think there's anything wrong with doing it that way either, you're going to be wearing the ring the rest of your life!
