So I''m bored and I thought this might be a fun topic!

How long has your SO been holding hostage of your stone/ring?

Mine has been holding onto my ering spinel(s) since he got them. The first spinel was around September 12 when Barry sent it, and the second came around October 15th. And no end in sight...

And because eye candy is always good...These are the stones in question: The left two are the Barry color shift spinel, the right is the Dan spinel which also has a color shift. The Barry is 6.5mm, and 1.2cts. The Dan is 6.4mm and 1.26cts. According to FF, they are the same color. These are the vendor photos, and the only thing I have to tide me over.

ummm since july 20th i believe........grrrrrrrrrr......
 
Bought ring oct 9th? I know it''s still at the jewelers, coz SO want''s me to check it before he takes it home with him.
 
I really don''t know, TBH.. for all I know, he hasn''t even bought one yet. UGH!
Hopefully he gets his butt in gear, though, since we''re only 56 days from the end of his timeline he gave me, LOL!
 
I don''t know for sure, but I don''t think he would be mean enough to hold out for very long. I think he''s only had it for about a week and I suspect that I will have it within a couple of weeks. (I had thought maybe today, but nope, we weren''t even able to eat dinner together!)

Oh well, I am just sitting tight.
 
::sigh::

The stone has been hostage since the middle of July.
 
The setting has been in our house since I think June....

Diamond was supposed to be here in October---but I don''t think he ever ordered it....who knows anymore.
 
I have absolutely no idea.

He''s had the stone since June, it''s currently getting set (CADs in t-minus 1.5 hours!!!). I don''t think he''ll hold onto it long once he has it. I hope anyway...

SO has had the ring since early June. So I think that makes it 5 months. Luckily he never really hid it and its just hanging around in the sock drawer so I do spend quality time with it on Saturday mornings when SO is at work. I''ve been told I can expect a proposal around February. At that point he will have had the ring in his possesion for 8 months, that has to be some sort of record!?

My BF got my ring on September 18th... I was going to get it this year but he said that isn''t happening now. So God only knows how long I will have to wait..

Probably forever.
 
i think he may have ordered the ring within the last couple of weeks, based on silly little hints he''s been dropping. whether or not he has it yet is TBD. it''s kind of driving me crazy though, i can''t imagine how all of you who know for sure must feel!!!
 
why are boys so evil?!?!?! we only recently started looking at rings and now we''re making appointments with designers (is it bad to meet with several designers??). If my BF had my ring and was sitting on it for many months, I''d be nutty! Ladies, I admire all of your patience....

I don''t put my BF''s clothes away, (I hate doing it - I just do the laundry and fold it and leave it on the bed) - but seeing as a lot of guys kind of leave it around their sock drawers...maybe I should start putting his clothes away for him!?!??

Yeah... I''m *pretty* sure boyfriend bought the ring in September, and I think he''s going to pick it up in November when he comes to visit, but then we decided to hold off a little longer on the proposal, and I don''t think he''ll propose until sometime next summer. I know it''s probably 1 of 2 rings- but he will give me NO details- he keeps telling me that he may/may not have bought it... he''s driving me nuts about it.

Soo... by the time it''s all said and done, it will be close to a year in hostage! It''ll be worth it though! *sigh*
 
My boyfriend has had the ring since June 26th. I have my moments of LIW craziness, but I''m trying my best to be patient!! I posted a picture back in June..but here it is again:

I hate the thought of it just sitting somewhere collecting dust.

This December will be 6 years for us..so I''m definitely hoping he will propose before the end of the year.

Since July. But then again, I''m in Sydney and he''s in Singapore, so does that count as holding it "hostage"?

Since yesterday! We bought the stone yesterday, I was allowed to pick out the stone since I know more about diamonds, and he wants it to be something I love. He has hidden it now until he gets it set and proposes. I''m already antsy!
 
Ohh I thought I had replied to this! Since July (Late July)
GRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrr
 
My best conjecture is that SO has been holding my trillion e-ring hostage since around July 24th or so.

I wish he were more like me... I would have proposed the first chance I had!
 
Boys are evil

. It''s just not nice... holding the pretty sparkly ring hostage. If it were hidden in his sock drawer, I would''ve found it haha... and then most likely, forgot to put it back and he would''ve found out about it.

Before I even discovered this wonderful forum (love you ladies!), that''s EXACTLY how I rationalized my anxious crazy feelings, ''it''s like you''re holding the ring hostage!''... but then again, I''m not sure if he''s even bought it. To add to it, this was maybe 2-3 weeks after we went and looked LOL! I''m not good with the whole ''waiting'' thing, and him and I both are well aware of this (I think he''s much more aware now).

In the begining of the year he wanted to propose ''this year'', then he took me to ''look'' at rings (2 months ago) which flipped a switch... now it''s when when when... then he told me ''sometime in the next two months'' (that was in sept) - so by the end of this month? THEN he said, ''well I still have till the end of this year''... and that''s when I wanted to cry lol.

There are only two things that have saved my sanity:
#1 wedding **** (still can''t remember who wrote this - LOVE IT!)
#2 this forum - where all the ladies seem to understand and support each other

Honestly, I don''t know how guys do it! I am the person who has to wrap presents as soon as I get them for other people otherwise I can''t wait and hand them over immediately! I get so excited about surprising people with presents they will love I find it to more difficult to NOT give the gift away immediately.

My FI once pulled a necklace I had been pining over out of his bag one random day when I got a job offer I had been hoping for. There was no way he knew what day the offer was going to happen on as the interview process had taken me almost a month and a half. I knew he had been carrying this necklace around for awhile. He was holding it for my bday (which was almost 2 months away at that time) but decided that the day I got my job offer was "the" moment to give it to me.
 
I am the exact same way Keepingthefaith21! I seriously have to wrap things or else I''ll give everyone "early presents" and then end up needing to buy extra gifts at the last minute.

My FI had my ring for six weeks or so before he proposed. I knew it arrived because I had to pick it up from FedEx (I work right by there), and he told me that he took it to work the next day to put it in the safe there. That was the only thing that kept me from tearing apart the house looking for it! Turns out he was a sneaky liar because it had been in the house the whole time.
