This is what my wife and I did when we got engaged. She picked a very pretty, but understated, engagement band, and specifically requested plain wedding bands for her and me. My father-in-law commented later that every couple he knew with simple, plain rings seemed to last, and every couple that had mortgage payments on jewelry got divorced in 2 to 5 years.SewTexas wrote:You should know her style by now, and if you're not sure, then propose without the ring and ask her to go with you to pick out a ring, absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Of course, the folks I work with were horrified that I hadn't spent $10k plus on a ring. I was horrified that apparently, some of them HAD. But then, many of them are divorced, too, some multiple times.
