The best type of rings are the ones that choose you, à la Lord of the Rings. The Smeagol method of fishing one out from sediment, plus jilted lovers throwing their rings into the ocean during high tide, is a superior strategy to buying one in a shop.

Get her to stick her ring finger in your butt hole and then tell her that the ring is still socially binding even though it's flesh

Why don't jewelry stores make ring gift cards? Like a ring you can bring back to the store to exchange for any other ring at or below the cost of the gift card ring. Like think of how many cheap rings they could sell for big bucks that would never get redeemed!

Lord Harbor posted:An actual question for the thread: how do you find a retailer? We're in a smallish city in rural New York, so there aren't a ton of local options. I've looked online but don't have any idea whether the places I find are any good or just overpriced mass produced garbage. It probably won't end up mattering that much, as she definitely won't be checking to make sure her ring is expensive enough or anything, but I'd still like to get something nice.

We saw an ad for a local jeweler and went ”Hey these rings rule, should we get engaged to have an excuse to buy them?”

I almost got a ring for my fiancé (now wife) by just going to a store and seeing what they had. Turns out the one I felt she might have liked wouldn't have been a good pick. I only found out after calling her sister and letting her in on it. She steered me in the right direction and I ended up with a ring my wife loved and she was surprised. Best if both worlds.

My engagement ring was honest to god plastic with googly eyes. I suspected I would lose it so I got a pack of 12. My proposal was literally “We should get married the next time the anniversary of our meeting is on a Saturday.” My wedding ring is a plain titanium band that cost $80, because again I figured I would lose it. We’re going on 15 years married now. If she would seriously consider not marrying you because she doesn’t like the engagement ring, that’s your cue to end the relationship.

*Non-joke answer incoming* OP as others have said, ideally this is something you've discussed with your wife ahead of time so you can get her what she actually wants. You should also have discussed engagement to some degree. It should not come as a surprise that you're proposing, but only when and how you propose. IF you are dead set on not discussing it directly with her, go through her friends. Someone she chats with regularly that could conceivably ask her about ring preferences without raising too many flags. "oh wow, look at this ring I saw! I hope my partner gets me that style. What do you think? " etc. Worst case, she catches on, gives her exact real answer and get the exact ring she wants during her engagement.

I narrowed it down to a few with the help of her friend and picked the best one. Btw if I find out you haven't proposed on the 15th I'm going to swoop in and marry your girlfriend so get on it

Choose a Ring Of Protection +2 (or +1 if you are on a budget). This will defend against a range of attacks and afflictions. I know it is tempting to go for something exotic like a Ring Of Fire Resistance but is it really that likely that your partner will be set ablaze?

You can gently caress this up big time. I feel like that's something you should already know based on your partner's personality but there's always a chance your reserved and quiet partner wants some big production too, so this is probably a good idea.

My girlfriend went with me when I when shopping for the ring because I didn’t know her ring size and neither did she. The jeweler straight up told us that the lab grown diamonds were pretty much indistinguishable from blood diamonds and unless we really had a preference, it didn’t matter. I’m glad she went though, because she picked a sparkly ring that I never would have chosen for her in a million years.

You can read about how lab grown diamonds are made on most jewelry retailer websites. The description is laughably vague, like they think that if they post the actual process, you could probably grow a couple diamonds in your garage next to the snowblower.
