So my FH apparently wanted to surprise me for the holidays. He started asking me questions yesterday and finally just caved and said he is too nervous about spending that kind of money on jewelry without my input since I don't wear jewelry (I am extremely allergic to nickel, it burns my skin, so I usually skip jewelry all together). I started helping him find/design a wedding band to which he said "shouldn't we start with the engagement ring and match the band to that". It never even crossed my mind that I would get an e-ring, so I was kind of in shock. He started asking questions about ring styles and carat size and I am now so lost and a little stressed. I want to pick something I love but all of these decisions are intimidating.... Solitaire, studded, 3 stone, Halo.... There are so many choices my head is spinning so I decided to ask you for some help. Can you show me your engagement ring and tell me a little about it? If you helped design or chose your ring, how did you decide on that particular one? How did you decide what carat size to pick, what setting to choose, and wether or not to add accent stones? I feel stupid not knowing about all of this stuff and I tend to be indecisive in general so this one is kinda tough for me. I don't want to make the wrong choice and regret it...

    Hi Kristen! Just wanted to share some good news because why not? lol Remember I mentioned about not sending my ring back yet? Well I did lol So I sent my ring back to get my ring re-sized (which turned out to be loose still, I'm annoyed lol), my then-fiancé surprised me with an upgraded ring, a 2.22 carat, F, VVS2. It even sparkles like crazy and with that said, I get a bit conscious because it catches people's eyes (I guess it's not a bad thing). But I'm not sure if I like that haha And oh, got married in court in August, but church wedding is in 2023. I still haven't done squat because of school. Anyway, hope all is well and the married life is going amazing!
