Look, you know your guy alot better than all these people answering. Would he get offended if you wanted to pick out your own ring? If so, then the only thing that you can do is put together several types of settings and diamonds that you like. I did this because my guy wanted it to be a complete surprise when he was proposing, and he knew better than to propose without the ring. So, I ended up with something small and pretty. Is it what I dreamed for? No. Is it meaningful to me? Yes. It is what he picked out for me...That means alot. And that gives him an oppurtunity to buy me something bigger for a special anniversary or something. And if you are only interested in showing off your pretty new jewelry, then you need to reconsider getting engaged. Remember that a diamond is just a piece of coal under pressure.

Knowing what you want in a ring is great, just make sure you are in sync with what he can afford. Anytime you make a suggestion, make sure you are very tactful, the last thing you want to do is hurt his feelings and have him change his mind.
Drop hints like going to the mall together to look at rings, or have him read the Sunday paper with you and point out the rings that you like. Or you can send him a e-hint from helzberg diamonds.

If you have discussed marriage then you should also have touched on the subject of finances? If not you really should. First decide on a price range together and then go looking together! Don't go over the price range and show him exactly what ring you want. This is a decision that should be made together as will all the rest of your decisions as a married couple. Best wishes and congratulations!!

Good luck with this one. My man is taking his time and our wedding is in 9 months......I know that he wants to suprise me but I have tried emailing him pics and even downloading pics of rings. I am not fussy, I dont want anything extravagant but he wont take the hint!!! lol.
And he wont go ring shopping with me.......so I guess I need to learn to be patient.....or accept that maybe an engagement ring is not going to ever find it's way onto my finger.
But then...........there are more important things in life. He loves me, we are both healthy, we have bought a beautiful home together. We have so much, and that is what is important.

Wedding rings can and should be picked out together. Nowadays engagement rings can be picked out together as well. You can always look through online and find the styles you like and show it to him saying you like that style.

easy, have a discussion with him about a friend whose boyfriend chose a watch for his girlfriends birthday, one he thought she would like. It turns out that he thought she liked silver but she really liked gold, and the band was all wrong. The friend felt bad and did not want to hurt his feelings but this is something she would wear for a long time and she wished he would have asked of maybe even picked them out together. IF he is not dense, he will make the leap. If not and you too are talking about rings, tell them that you would like to look together so he gets an idea about what kind you like and don't like, after all you are suppose to wear it all your life.

Rip out pictures of ones you like and leave them laying on the coffee table. Think of it like the little kids at Christmas circling all the toys they want in the advertisements. Just be realistic. Don't ask for a ring that is so expensive that you will end up contributing to its payoff when you are married because he will still be making payments. Get something less expensive now and trade up to something really fabulous for your tenth anniversary. By then you'll need a little more sparkle in your life, the kids will be making you insane!

Have you talked to him about going to look at rings together. Getting somthing you both like. If you cant communicate over a wedding ring whatsnthe rest of the marriage going to be like?

Give him some idea from pics online or a catalogue or something, but leave the choice up to him; it's much more special to have him choose it, then he can also buy something he can comfortably afford.
It's the symbolism of the rings which is important, after all.

That depends. Has he already bought a ring for you? If so, you might be stuck.
If not, then tell him flat out that when you get married, you want to pick the ring.
