I was not 100% set on a diamond engagement ring. I said several times that it wasn't the ring that mattered to me. However, I knew that the Wooly counterpart likes to follow tradition and that his impeccable jewelry taste would probably be bestowed upon me in the form of an engagement ring.
One winter, 7 of our friends/acquaintances, got engaged in the span of about 5 weeks. Seeing all of the rings, one right after another, was an excellent impromptu crash course in engagement ring buying and styles. I learned the Lamma-bama-Mister wasn't a fan of pave settings, or any other stones around the middle stone. He learned that I liked princess and round cuts.
I actually had very little to do with choosing the ring. We went to one jewelry store together and browsed for a little over 2 hours. About 10 weeks later, he proposed.
It may sound cliche, but it's everything I hoped it would be, and more. Mr. Lamb exerted the same, if not more, effort that he would put into buying any form of electronics or home goods - months of careful research. I think the ring really shows how much care he put into its purchase.
I love the way that the solitaire makes a statement and says, "I own this ring." I love that the white gold is delicate and light weight. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that my Lamb Lovie arranged to have the band etched in an antique wheat pattern.
Oh! and one more thing I love. The stone is set in a cathedral setting, to make sure there's plenty of room for my wedding band to sit flush. Let me repeat: my wedding band!
Holy moly! I'm going to be wearing a wedding band - I'm getting married! Wooooooo hooooooooooooooooo! I'm having a "Holy wedding band, Batman! I"m going to be getting married!" moment!
Do you share the same ring tastes as your SO?
