Should my girlfriend pick out her own engagement ring?
“Do you have any advice as to the best way to figure out what shape diamond and style of engagement ring to buy? I’ve been trying to discover what shape diamond my girlfriend prefers by dropping hints, flipping through the magazines that she reads, and listening to what she says about the diamond engagement rings that her friends have received, but there doesn’t seem to be any consistency to any of it… It’s like she’s in love with the classic appeal of a round brilliant one day, and in love with the vintage look provided by cushion cut diamonds the next, and then returned from having coffee with a friend of hers this morning, and was going on and on about how cool the concentric square pattern of her Asscher cut diamond was, and how she could just stare at that for hours… It’s enough to drive a guy nuts! I’m beginning to wonder whether my girlfriend should pick out her own engagement ring; is that an acceptable thing to do? What do you think?”

The reality is that a lot of guys tend to over think the process of buying a diamond engagement ring, and make it much more difficult by trying to make sure that everything about the ring is perfect, when in fact, it’s already going to be perfect because you are the one presenting it to her.
