How do you drop hints about which ring you want?

I would email that link to your most trusted friend and have them forward it on to him. In a non-chalant way of course. lol. Or you could go to the mall with him and go to the jewelry counter and point out stuff you like. Ballsy but hey, he'll know what you like.

I agree with last post. I just looked on line and would show him and say Oh this is so pretty I love this what do you think? Mine just looked and laughed and I did it alot he finnaly said is that the one you really like I said yes. I got the one I wanted . You know how his mind works use it to your advantage other wise hope he has good taste.

I showed my FH what i wanted and then he went and got it with me because he told me that he wanted me to have exactly what i wanted and nothing less. send him and email and be blunt about it! His brother had a bad experience because his fiance said ohh its doesn't matter it what ever you get will be wonderful and now every time she gets a chance she bashes him for the "ugly" ring he got her and it isnt she is just being mean! and she would tell him what she wanted when he asked so i think it serves her right haha

I emailed him what I wanted about three years ago when we first started dating as a inside amongst him me and his roommate. He later asked if that was really what I wanted and I said yes. He printed the email and took it to a jeweler and them make it. If you want something specific especially since it is that simple i would email him. If you have talked about marriage before I do not think it is wrong to let him know what you want.

My FH essentially proposed by telling me that we were going to the mall to pick out my engagement ring. Not exactly romantic, but we're older and it's a 2nd marriage for both of us, and we'd been kind of talking about getting married anyway. So, I got to pick out my own ring. It's simple and small (I have very small hands) but it's from Tiffany and I love it! While we were shopping, the sales lady also showed us wedding bands that would go with it, and I already know what I want... and so does he! No risk of getting the "wrong" ring!

I had a ring picked out long before he even asked. One day joking around I said, "If we ever get married I want this to be my ring". I showed him a picture. About 5 months later, we happen to be in a jewelry store and I did it again. He actually asked me to try on the ring because he knew it would freak me out. I did. lol. It must have really stuck to him because a month and a half later, he proposed. I had asked for a Princess cut with the past, present, future diamonds and thats what he got me. but The diamond in the middle was changed to a heart. He says it symbolized the love he has for me. I melted that day. Hope this idea helps.

Have a trusted friend of yours and his drop the hint to him as to which one you want. My husband and I looked together for a year or so for my ring and he all of a sudden said " I don't think anything's different looking for Engagement rings. How would you feel about a custom designed ring?" That meant more to me than anything. He popped the question w/o a ring and the ring didn't come until a week before our wedding and it was nothing he had planned to custom design, simply b/c I knew he didn't have the kind of money for the ring he would have liked me to have. Honestly he'll pick out something you'll like even if you drop hints and will surprise you with yours. My husband didn't get to surprise me with mine since I picked it out at the same time we were buying our bands and I went with one of the more affordable rings that would fit what our bank account could afford at the time.

I agree with many people who said you should casually stop at a jewelry store while at the mall or somewhere and peek around while dropping hints. If he is clever at all he'll know who to ask and maybe even snoop around.

My fiance did a little detective work. We were hanging out with a mutual friend of ours and I got online with her and we decided to look at rings... he was in the room and seemed to take no interest at the time. He later told me that he had gone through my internet history and "just knew" which one I really liked. He actually had to have it custom made because I was looking at Tiffany's website and of course, that wasn't gonna happen. It's gorgeous though and actually looks almost identical to the Tiffany Novo (without such a raised setting).

Its funny when my hubby was ploting the asking to me to marry him we where at kohles and he pointed a few rings out said what do you think of these rings one is solitare i told him i hated solitares and that was is it he got my ring based on my comments on a few rings. so next time your out just comment on a few rings go oh honey look at how nice those rings are i really like that one and he will get the idea of what you like

In our store we have women do this all the time. They come in and talk with the jeweler and discuss some of their ideas for rings and so on. She directs him to come in, and we give them help in deciding for a ring. Who knows it could help? Tell your boyfriends buddies. I'm sure they will help out some.

Hello All. Hinting at which ring you want can get tricky. I've heard of disasters where asking for a friend or family member to translate wants and desires gets mis-communicated. I'm actually trying to make a way where you can get your partner to pick a ring that meets your style by taking an online quiz.

Basically, you make a pin, you answer questions about what you'd like in your engagement ring, and then you give the pin to either a friend or your partner. They can then look up the pin you gave them and see exactly what you're looking for. Better than sitting them down with a pad of paper and a pen and making a list, I think!

Anyways, here's my engagement ring quiz: http://missionengaged.com/hinting-perfect-engagement-ring/
