Thanks, Maria and Lali. I already know what type of ring I would want, but what like it to be a surprise. After all, it is a gift from him to me.
In this case, I would definitely want him to choose. I did show him what kinf of rings I like and he knows which of my old rings that I never wear fots best, in case he wants to take it to be measured properly.
I prefer a solitaire, either round or square, fairly small and on a thin silver band. It's such a classic that I think he can't really go wrong.
Actually, he is very worried about picking the wrong one. He said, "You won't like it, I know what you're like. And then you'll take it back to the shop to exchange it and you wouldn't even wear it out of politeness."
If we were talking about clothes, it would be true" But an engagement ring is a different matter. It's not all about what I want, in my opinion.
