I just can't figure out whether I love this ring or not. FF says he looooves it. I'm not so sure. The thing is, within our budget, I doubt I'd love anything MORE than I'm enjoying this. But I'm certainly not entranced by it. I dunno.
The thing is, I think you sort of have to see it in person, and I don't know that I can really show it to anyone, without, y'know, letting the cat out of the bag. I live faaaar away from my closest friends, and many of my friends here are associated with work (which means gossip since FF and I both work here, which means no-no) and the circle of friends who aren't work related are centered around a very recently single, very man-bitter pal who would probably think I was being bitchy and insensitive if I asked her 'What do you think of this engagement ring?!'
ARGH. Any ideas? It crossed my mind that I could just ask some strangers... you know, ladies sitting in the park or something. Haha. At least I'd get an honest opinion.
I've taken a HUGE number of photos which I hope to be able to post tonight or tomorrow, so maybe you guys can help me out, but I do think it's hard to tell except in person.
ETA: For those who haven't followed my mini-saga, I haven't been 'proposed to' with the ring, we're just having a look at it, so there's no possible hurt feelings involved on my FF's part if I decide I don't like it!
