Like I mentioned in the first post, I’ve been known to
daydream about getting engaged for years and years and years. I probably picked out my own engagement ring
10 times in my younger years and would email, text or just print out pictures
and give to Justin. I’ve never been
great at low key. After experiencing
self-inflicted disappointment over and over and over, I finally quit doing it
to myself. I quit looking at rings,
browsing Style Me Pretty and deleted my “One Day” Pinterest board.
I wanted Justin to be 100% confident in his proposal and it
to be his special time to plan and choose a ring that he wanted to give
me. It doesn’t hurt that his sense of
style is on point and he has really great taste, so I completely trusted his
choice and opinion. To say he knocked it
out of the park is an understatement.
He has a trusted friend in the jewelry business, John
Hancock of Hancock’s Jeweler in Hendersonville, TN. Justin wants to know every detail and become
an expert in every buying experience and ring shopping was no different. Justin really appreciated John’s knowledge
and willingness to share his candid opinion.
He chose a round diamond with a split shank double halo setting. Justin wanted the sparkiest, clearest stone
available (he’s super detail oriented!) .
I’m not sure that these pictures do it justice, it’s simply perfect!
Note-if your partner does not share your sense of style or
wants your input, by all means participate!
This hands off approach in ring shopping is what worked best for us, but
it’s a very personal decision that only you and your hunny can make. I’ve know girls who bought their own ring,
girls who go shopping together with their partner and girls who recruit their girlfriends to help
their future husbands. There’s no right
or wrong way to do it.
