How much input did you have on your ring?

I am curious to know how much input you had on the design/style of your engagement ring? Did you buy it together? show your fiance your hidden pinterest board and leave him to it? Agree to use a family heirloom? Not get a ring at all?

After we started talking seriously about getting married, I showed my fiance my engagement ring pinterest board. It was a lot of delicate, thin rings with halos like these:

Well... after I showed him I went window shopping and discovered delicate halos like the ones I liked were very difficult to get in Australia and most of what you could get was clunky and ugly and didn't suit me at all! I was so afraid I'd get exactly what I wanted and I'd hate it!

thankfully, despite looking at the board, my sweet fiance only really saw the colour, haha! He bought me a beautiful three stone peach sapphire which is a lot more classic and timeless than what I'd been looking at, and is a beautiful mix of his style and mine, and now whenever I look at it, I'm thinking of us both!

    My fiance bought exactly what I showed him. I feel very lucky. He bought it like a week after I said I wanted it.

    Aww. Heirloom rings are so special. What does it look like?

    We don't have any heirloom engagement rings - only some wedding bands. My great-great grandmother's ring (I think? Maybe some more greats in there!) is my 'something old/borrowed' for my wedding day!

    My FH picked it out entirely himself! Took his sisters with him to a couple shops so that they could be the hand model but he did it all himself and I LOVE my ring. It's perfect and sparkly.

    I had previously sent him pictures of a ring I designed myself on one of the many jewelry websites. Low and behold he saved it and months later proposed with my recreated dream ring! 🥺

    We had what we call the "technical" engagement about a month before the "official" engagement, in that we had already agreed we were going to be getting married in December of 2022, had picked a date and were looking at venues. After we told both sets of parents we had decided to get married his exact words were "well, I guess I need to get you a ring now. What would be your dream ring?" (I had helped a friend pick out a ring the previous year for his now wife and told my fiancé - always ask, for at least the bare minimum info so that everyone is happy!) I told him I would want three things; cushion cut solitaire, with a halo, on a pave band. With me standing there, he put those words into google and we ended up designing the ring together. He went and picked it up a few weeks later and on an already planned weekend away, did the whole official proposal (which was absolutely perfect and ended up being one year to the day from our wedding day!). I didn't see the ring in person until he was down on one knee.

    It is truly everything I could have ever wanted and more. I am obsessed with it. I never thought I'd find someone as wonderful as my fiancé, let alone someone who just straight up asked what I wanted and then made it happen!

    I didn't have much say in mine but had made comments previously about what I wanted. I made it pretty clear that I didn't want anything too flashy and that I wanted something simple. I had some pictures from Pinterest that had been saved on my phone that I'm sure he had seen. (I saw that he sent a couple of them to himself and tried to be sneaky about it).

    Overall, there is absolutely nothing I would change about mine. I love it and I love that he was the one to truly design it.

    These are absolutely stunning! I ring bombed him daily. He finally said send me your top 3. I sent him my too 4 with the 4th being insanely expensive and fashioned from Mia Farrows ring she received from Frank Sinatra. My dream ring. He opted for that one.

    Your ring is beautiful!! I showed my fiance a halo ring with diamond on the shoulder. He didn't get that but got a plain band BUT my stone was much larger than I ever imagined. I shared a pic of the wedding ring I want and really hope it's the one I will receive.
