Ok, so I was going to post this in Ladies Only, but decided the guys could probably help a little on this too. Yesterday was my birthday, and my BF proposed!!! I am sooo happy and excited and I can't wait to marry him!!! But I really don't like the ring. Its not a bad ring, but it is nothing like what I had expected. We have been talking about this for approx 6 months, and he knew exactly what I wanted, so did my best friend (Amie) and my sister. I wanted a princess cut solitaire set in white gold or platinum, that's it, I trusted him (withthe help of Amie and my sis) to do the rest. Well, he brought Amie with him to pick it out, went four times last week and twice the week before. Then he decided to go alone and pick something else out (a suprise to us all).
Well, its a three-stone, not a solitaire. It is Platinum, but with yellow gold () accent stripes on the front of the band. The setting is very high and its so bulky (shadowing the 1/2 ct center stone). Im really upset, I hate yellow gold, and its way too much around the diamond!!! I don't want a bigger rock, just a simple band, that's it. It doesn't suit me at all, and I don't know what to say to him!!! We went over to Amie and John's last night, and when she saw it she asked why he didn't get a solitaire......she knew it wassn't for me. She went four times with him and apparently didn't take a word of her advice!!!
I don't know what to do now. Should I tell him???? Should I just stay with it and hope that someday I might like it? I know he put so much thought and time (and $$$) into it and I will surely hurt his feelings if I tell him. But I can't imagine wearing this thing for the rest of my life, either. And I don't want to NOT wear my engagement ring, after all, so what do you guys think???
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!![]()
