Did you help pick your ring?

Did you help or have any input into your engagement ring, or was it a total surprise? I would love some pics of your rings! I'll put mine at the end of the post. it's on the correct hand, for some reason it showed backwards I had no input in the ring choice. I had NO idea he was ready to propose to...

I had no input in the ring choice. I had NO idea he was ready to propose to me. He was working when he picked out my ring. He say the jewelers and stopped. He loved the ring he picked and so do it. We had never discussed rings or style of them, but it's as though he got into my head and picked my dream ring! I love the antique look of it. I knew I didn't want gold and he must have somehow figured that out. He didn't want my input because he knows I would have picked something smaller because i'm frugal (ok he says cheap) but I wouldn't change my ring for anything. It has a pretty band with that attached on our big day.

    We picked it out. He showed me different opinions and I gave him my top 3. I am thrilled we did this together. :-)

    I designed my own ring without knowing it. I sent my FW several ring options, a few of them that I had designed, but it was months before she actually went ring shopping and I wasn't sure which one she would pick, or if she would just go with her own choice. I didn't really intend for her to choose one that I'd sent, just to get an idea of what I liked. But I'm beyond happy with it!

    I picked out the stone since he had no idea about diamond quality and then sent him some choices on the setting. He did well. Smiley smile

    We went ring shopping together but he actually picked out my ring from the display case. I immediately fell in love with it. He went back and bought it a few days later.

    Yes and no, we went shopping where I showed him what I liked. I tried on quite a few and we went to several stores. I didn’t know what he was going to get until he proposed.

    He picked it out (with help from my best friend and his dad). I love it and it's totally different than anything I thought I'd like

    I definitely picked my ring.

    You see...we knew we were getting engaged, set the date and already put the down payment on our venue. Last week, I met his family for the first time and we went to LA to ring shop. We went to a couple of stores and I fell in love with this ring. Everyone (me, him, and his parents) fell in love with the ring. It is more ring than I expected/imagine. But I love it and I love that he also loves it.

    I’ve included just a pic of my engagement ring and a pic of the set we got last week. I never even imagined having something like this ring. Love love love the set.

    It is now official that we are engaged and I can’t wait for October to marry him. We are both now estatic to be officially engaged.

    He proposed with an inexpensive cubic zirconia ring because he wanted me to help pick out my own. We picked this out together!

    I accidentally picked my own ring. We had just started dating and He asked what I wanted. He then promptly freaked out about money. Fast forward a few months and I sent him a pic of wholesaler ring that I fell in love with ( that wasn't outside of his budget) 10 months later he proposed with the very ring I sent him.

    He picked it out 100% on his own, and I was floored when he asked me and I saw how gorgeous the ring was/is. He has a very good taste in jewelry, almost identical to mine, so I had no doubt in my mind that he would pick out something that I would like Smiley smile

    We were looking on Letgo one day and FH asked if I liked this ring and I said sure. We were on a very tight budget (he was working a crappy fast food job atm) so we couldn’t just go to a jewelry store. My ring was $80 and I love it! I was actually there when he got it.
