For Guys - Would you prefer to Propose with 'symbolic' item instead of buying a ring all alone?
I am married 25yrs. My hubby proposed with a trinket and then we researched, shopped, chose and bought my ring together. Our ring wasn't solely chosen for price but just that he wanted to make me happy.
An engagement ring is something a woman wears every day for the rest of her life, yet we hear of so many women who don't really like it but won't hurt his feelings/feel greedy if doesn't like size or setting. I didn't care if it was natural/lab diamond, high/low quality...I just wanted it to be something I liked and suited me.
While we were dating I used to tell my hubby, if he picks the ring alone, I pick our first car alone! Being a car nut, I don't think he wanted to test me on that one, lol
Guys, would you prefer if the standard 'tradition' was to buy a candy ring and then shop with her or the current way?

i really like your idea actually, of getting sentimental trinket then shopping together. i love my boyfriend and he usually has good taste, but i think he might be tempted to buy me a tacky crazy ring since my taste is often very crazy, but not for diamond rings i'm going to wear for the rest of my life!

Sorry, not a guy, but I did want to make a suggestion. I think that when both the guy and the girl feel comfortable with the idea of engagement they should plan a day to go window shopping. Me and my boyfriend did this last Saturday and it worked out really well.
Now he has an idea of what I like, and it won't ruin the surprise of what ring, where, and what time for me. I was really surprised that he had such good taste in rings.....

no an e-ring isn't necessarily to be worn for the rest of the bride's life. those diamonds can be re-set in another setting after many years if she chooses. my mom went from a solitaire to a 3 stone ring so she's got more carats after 35 years! I'm pretty darn sure my bf knows next to nothing about my taste in jewelry, but he's a smart cookie so I'm sure he'll research the 4 C's. he does love to surprise me and he can keep a secret forever but I think we'll be shopping together so I can give him a few ideas of styles I like. but if he were to surprise me and it's not my dream ring, as long as it's not weird or hideous or fake I'd wear it for a few years and then get a new setting perhaps if it saves his feelings.
