My DH designed my ring totally without my input - when we first started dating (like, 6 months in), he mentioned that he'd want to get me a ring that was pink and white gold and I thought that sounded great. About 2.5 years later he proposed with a pink and white gold ring, and even though I've had it on my finger for nearly 2 years now I still stare at it all the time - it's perfect!

| I was surprised with the ring FH got me ( I do love it though!) We had talked about it a bit, and I always said I loved the circular rings (sorry I don't know all of the ring types lol) and the one he got has an emerald three-stone ring, with little square diamonds on each side. It is really beautiful, but nothing I ever would have picked for myself. He said he searched SOOO many stores and it was the only one he liked! It was so hard to get used to because I wore his promise ring on that finger which seems so tiny now, and I wasn't used to this relatively huge ring getting in the way! haha

| We walked by a jewelry store, and he stopped and said hey look at this- I bet you would love this ring. OF course he was right I did love it. About 6 months later I walked by the same store- and the ring was still there (it was an estate ring)- so he told me to try it on, I did and it was a perfect fit (see it was meant for me to have it!). Then on December 25, 2007 he proposed to me with that ring !

| He proposed with an empty box and said that he promised to fill it one day with the most beautiful ring that I wanted. We went the next day and picked out my sapphire ring.

| When we went ring shopping i clearly had NO IDEA about diamonds. I tried on a ring with a 1 carat middle diamond and two side stones...and i fell in love with it. The guy at Heinrichs was like.."Oh its beautiful, and its only $25,000" hahahah I laughed. Honestly...i had no clue a ring could be so much! Of course i told my FH he was NOT getting me something that expensive. A few months later I got my ring. He picked it out himself. A one-carat round diamond on a white diamond band. I love it! He did great!

My fiance and I were looking at engagement rings about a month before he proposed. He got his mom and twin brother to shop around for prices and designs before he picked one for me.
The ring he got has a similar setting as the Tiffany engagement which was the one I liked the most out of all the ones we've seen.

For me FH and I started to talk about marriage shortly after we finally landed good full-time jobs. We talked about moving in together and marriage, etc.
Then one weekend he asked if I wanted to go look at e-rings because he wanted to get an idea what I like.
So we went to the mall and went into one store and I tried on a few. I have small hands and I'm not much of a girly girl. I also work in a day care with toddlers so my hands take a beating. I wanted something small and something that didn't stick out too much. Something I could wear every day and not be worried about something happening to it while working with all these toddlers. (it getting dirty, ruined, or it scratching a kid lol).
I tried on a tiny diamond on a thin white gold band and fell in love with it. The lady showed Aleks the price and after we left the store is told me he could have bought it. I had told him i didn't want him to spend a lot and the price was in our range.
This was I think around the end of Sept. or beginning of Oct. 2007. Our 4 year anniversary was coming up in Nov. and we had reservations at a B&B in Niagara-on-the-Lake for a weekend to celebrate. I was certain he'd propose then.
Turns out a few weeks after we went to check out rings, he was at another mall with his mother and telling her how he was planning to propose to me and she asked if he wanted to check out rings. They went and I presume with her help he picked the ring. And two weeks after that he proposed to me on his birthday and I was completely surprised and did not expect it at all. He told me that's why he did it on my b-day because he knew I'd be expecting it on our anniversary lol.
The band is very unique. Thin white gold with a nice design in it and a round diamond set into the band in the middle.
