My boyfriend and I have been talk about getting engaged, he has already done some ring browsing, and he has an idea of what type of ring I would like. I have also been searching for the jaw dropping ring and have seen several, which are very reasonably priced, in talking under $500.00. So my question is, would it be presumptuous of me to email him pictures and prices, and places of the rings I like?

If he knows what you like, trust him in choosing the ring. If you want to be sneaky about it, print the pictures off and leave them on your dining room table or coffee table (by accident) and maybe, just maybe he'll glance at them and try to search for something very similar. But other than that, I would trust him choosing the ring. You'll have input on the wedding ring!

He would probably really like to know that he chose something you love, especially since you'll be wearing it for the rest of your life. If you've already been talking about it, I don't think its presumptuous at all. My fiance picked out my ring with me there, I just didn't realize he was paying attention and looking for a ring!

my fiance and I picked out my ring together in person. He bought it later but I knew which ring it would be. the engagement part was still a surprise though. I think that since you have been openly talking about this anyway, showing him rings your like is not a bad idea. He'd probably really like the help anyway.

i think you shouldn't email him prices and pictures and stuff like that- it's going a little to far.
if you want a certain type then let him know. tell him what type of material you want (white gold, gold, silver...) and also why type of diamond cut you want (princess, round, emerald..)
also let him know if you would prefer having a soliarte or one with more stones on the side..just give him guidelines but don't send him pictures of ones that you want.. the engagement is the guys special time...the wedding is the girls. hope that helps a little...

No. I sent my fiancee pictures of the rings that I wanted - to the point of obsession. :) I spent hours looking at rings online and then I would call him over (we live together, so I don't mean I called him on the phone) and ask him what he liked best.
Just out of curiosity, which rings are you considering?

Don't send them to him, because you don't want him to feel like all you're thinking about is the ring (even though, as with me, it's pretty much all I can think about until he proposes). Print out the pictures, leave them around casually so he notices them -- on the kitchen table, on the coffee table next to the sofa, etc. He'll get it the hint, and possibly make him even more proud of his choice because he'll feel like he's one of those great guys who always pays attention; he'll feel sneaky, haha. Good luck.

I can't imagine a ring to be very jaw dropping for under $500. You should just let him know what you like and let him take it from there.

Well I don't think I would e-mail them to HIM!!!! I know I want mine to be a surprise. However, my BF always seams to ask my best friend about gifts so what I have done is send pictures to her and my sister of things I like. That way either one can lead him in the right direction and still it will be a surprise to me. That way he can feel like he picked it out. Do you have a mutual friend that could help you out?

Not at all. I think it would take the pressure off of him a lot. Just say
"I was at the mall and I saw these rings that I thought were cute just thought youd like to know for future references :) "
