Picked out a ring, no idea what she wants, how did I do?

[powernapper]

I had nothing to go on in regards to her preference, so I picked one based on my tastes.
I hope I don't have horrible taste

1.25 carat, I color, VS1, halo with an "airline".


How did I do?

 

[MissGotRocks]

You made a beautiful choice - I'm sure she will love it! Please come back with hand shots!

 

[derbygal]

I think it is lovely and a classic choice.

 

[Sundial]

It is really pretty and I think you did very well!!!

I don't think it's a matter of having "horrible taste," but preferences vary and it's risky to buy for someone whose preferences you don't know. A halo with an airline is a pretty specific type of setting. She may love it or may have a different taste in jewelry. Is it possible to exchange or get a refund if needed?

 

[Rockinruby]

It's very pretty! Well done! Come back with hand shots later & let us know how much she liked it!

 

[JDDN]

It's gorgeous, I really hope she thinks so too!!!

It's pretty! If you've no idea of her preference and there is a return/exchange period, you might want to propose before the return period is over. Come back with hand shots.

Most guys who post their rings here brag about their choice. You seem kind and sweet, and she is a lucky girl.

Oh, and the ring is beautiful too.
Best wishes to you both.

You did well brother!

Can we see a side view please?

 

[Tourmaline]

It's lovely!

 

[solgen]

I'd also like to see a side view and what the airline looks like. I'm not a big fan of the airline but sometimes then can help the center stone stand out more on the finger.

 

[VRBeauty]

It's beautiful, and should be a "safe" choice since halos are very popular. I'm sure she'll be blown away!

 

[Loves Vintage]

It's lovely! I'm sure she will be thrilled with your choice! It is a classic style, I agree.

This is wise.

But overall, its a nice ring. Its just personal pref if someone likes a halo, and if they like their halo with an airline.

Thank you for all the encouraging words everyone! I feel amazing about it now
I was looking at some old random pictures...and it turns out this looks almost identical to a Swarovski crystal ring we saw a year ago on vacay that she loved!

I guess we're a little meant to be! Or I just have a terrible memory

Here are some side pics that some of you have requested, as I am a crowd pleaser!

 

[Rockinruby]

Love the additional pics!

 

[Stone Hunter]

VERY pretty. Let us know what she thinks!

 

[junebug17]

Wow I think it's beautiful, well done! Come back with a hand pic if you can!
