My son inherited my mother's diamond ring and he is about to have it reset to propose to his GF...though he has the diamond, he still wants to go "window shopping" to get an idea what style setting she would like...BTW, she better say yes!..I love her!!

My fiancé and I shopped together. He wanted me to have exactly what I wanted. He still proposed in a romantic way and it was a surprise. I had no idea when or where he'd pop the question and he managed to surprise me and made me cry :)

I don't agree. It is much romantic when he buys it himself and presents it to me as a surprise. If we buy it together it is no more special or interesting. I can take him shopping for any jewelry piece, point my finger and he will buy it for me. But engagement ring is something he should do himself, and no matter what it looks like what matters more is his thought and desire for me to be his wife.
