My gf loves jewlery, we've been together for 2.5 years. I've never gotten her a ring b/c I've been afraid of the interp. I don't want to propose at this time. I want her to have a nice ring though b/c she is so special to me. i worry how it can be done without seeming like an engagement ring. any thoughts...

Get her a toe ring, if any ring at all. Necklaces, bracelets, & watches are well received by many.

I would stay away from giving her a ring. How about a nice necklace or bracelet, even ear rings that would match her engagement ring once you are ready to give her one. I can tell you if you give her a ring you are opening a can of worms. TRUST ME, as soon as they hear who the ring comes from, ALL HER GIRLFRIENDS WILL ASK HER WHETHER THAT IS EITHER AN ENGAGEMENT OR PRE-ENGAGEMENT RING (whatever that means) regardless of what the ring looks like. Then, she will have to say "No, just a ring". A couple of weeks later she will be fed up with the question and will start thinking why have you not given her an engagement ring yet. Is it that you do not think of her as marriage material? Are you bored with her? In love with someone else? Maybe you think you can do better than her? And before you know it, instead of being happy for the present you gave her, she will start to resent you and to doubt you.

Defo avoid a ring if you're not ''there'' yet- she'll only get the wrong idea or if you say 'oh its not an engagement ring' she'll think there is something wrong with her/ the relationship as you've been together 2.5 years!
Get her a handmade bracelet or necklace, it'll be individual to her and she'll love the thought that went into it (thats what my BF did for my last birthday and i've never taken it off as i love it so much and people always comment on it too!!)

Look into jewelry other than a ring. You don't want to build up her expectations just to let her down, especially on her birthday. Even just the ring box itself will get her excited and then if it's not an engagement ring on the inside, she may be disappointed. I'd go with other jewelry that would be special but not cause a misunderstanding.

Vinny, if your'e not ready for pre-engagement then don't buy her that type of ring. Buy her something that 's not going to give her the impression that you are ready for pre-engagement, or problems will begin. How about this, does she have a birthstone ring? If not buy her one, make sure the size will fit her right hand as our finger sizes vary from hand to hand. If you still think that is too much go for a nice bracelet, how about a charm bracelet?buy her a nice bracelet with one charm on it. Think of something she likes and find a charm for it. That willlet her know how special she is to you. Good luck!!

okay. here i go putting on my serious phyciatrist act. okay im done.
wait! first of all if its a diamond ring forget about it until your ready for the right time on valentines in a bog fancy restauraunt, and u want a engagement.
okay, now, if its a pretty little ring that has her birth stone, and its not too cheapy, or too pricy, i suggest you give it to her for her birthday. because if its for no reason, or you know, no special occasion, she might think that that is your engagement ring and that instead of a big diamond, your giving her a birth stone. and trust me! girls hate anything other than a beautiful really big 25 carrot diamond, and if you don't have the money for 25 carrots, then buy her 25 potatoes! as long as its a diamond! but please dont let it be so small that you can only see it with a magnefying glass! bye!

My BF gave me a beautiful diamond ring - it is a promise ring - tell her that up front that is is a promise ring...get a diamond that is small so that should help show the difference between and engagement ring - also you can get a different stone, not a diamond - this website had info and some photos of promise rings..

Engagement rings are diamonds and LOOK like engagement rings. There are lots of styles available that are NOT engagement rings. Maybe you should consider a bracelet instead.

It's an OK idea...though I'm not sure if I would do a 'ring'. Do a bracelet or a necklace.
You don't want to open a can of worms with this whole marriage thing...a 'ring' might get her thinking...
If you must do a ring, don't do a diamond. Do a gemstone - one that does not resemble a diamond.

Buy her two of them.
This is what you would call a promise ring and again if you are not ready to promise anything buy two rings. This way you don't have to explain yourself and she can pick which one she wants to waer when she wants to wear them, do not buy her diamonds!
Get like an opel and a ruby if she doesn't already have any, this way she will understand that they are gifts and not engaments or promises. If you can not afford two, buy something different like an ankel braclet. Good luck!

Get her a bracelet or a necklace instead. If you were my boyfriend and we were together for over 2 years, I'd dump you if there was no proposal or ring by now. You are wasting her time.
