Hi ladies!
I''m a lurker. I hope I''m not posting in the wrong section. My FF/F love each other very much. However, I am very dissapointed. He asked me what I wanted in an e-ring. I told him that I didn''t want to pick it out, but I told him what I liked. I told him that I would like to wear my great-grandmother''s diamond setting or have the diamonds incorporated in some way into the ring. If her original setting was too badly damaged that I would like to replace it with a similar 1920s antique style. Her ring and diamonds would be the only thing I had to remember her by. She was a strong, tough woman, like me. I thought this had great symbolism. I later found out that he had bought an engagement ring and had to return it. We had the talk about the importance of e-rings, and how they are supposed to fit the personality of the woman you buy for. I thought it was straightened out. Then, while I was out of town getting medical treatment, he buys another e-ring. He even told me the price. Then months later her proposed with it. I knew he couldn''t return it, and I said yes. Now I have a e-ring that I hate and think is a waste of money. It is a 1/4 carat diamond solitaire on a skinny white-gold band. It is impractical and dwarfed by my hand. He told me he wanted to get something very simple and uncomplicated and pure like me. He also told me he wouldn''t spend more that 600 on an engagement ring EVER on principle. He has this weird thing about buying high quality things and spending large chunks of money at once. However, he spends more than six hundred on just one of his hobbies a year. Plus, my solution was meaningful, I actually liked it, and CHEAP! All he would had to have done is pay for resetting, cleaning, and resizing, or possibly a new setting. ARRRRGGGHH!!!!!!!
