Hello ladies: Here''s a little bit of background. A week ago my FI upgraded my center stone in my ring and I''m not totally in love with having a larger stone on my current setting (4mm band which I don''t think does the stone justice) so I was going to get a 3 mm channel set band with diamonds farther down the side to make the diamond pop more.
Well, the jeweler showed me the band I would be getting and I fell in love. I feel as though it shows off my .7 princess better than my current band. Well, my FI is not too happy at all. He made the comment that the setting he picked out wasn''t good enough and I''m going to get a ''cheaper'' band (He is associating thinner with cheaper so there is no sense in arguing logically with him on that, he''s stubborn). I mentioned that if I got the new setting I would get his birthstone (emerald) set into the original setting. He retorted with "You''ll never wear it!" I do really think his feelings are hurt, but I want a gorgeous ring that will show off my stone. (wow, that sounded really bitchy and I''m really not a bitch, I promise).
So here''s my question. Should I just suck it up and be happy with what I have (which is a gorgeous ring, I just think it could be even more gorgeous) or should I go against his wishes, possibly hurting his ego, and get the thinner channel set band?
Should I make myself 100% happy and hurt his feelings or just leave it as it is. ARGH!
I''m so torn that it is making me sick. Please help.
