I doubt anyone here can give me advice on my girlfriend''s tastes, but consider this "processing aloud" and anyone can opine if they see fit My girlfriend and I have settled on bands and rings. Although she doesn''t know it (or, probably pretending not to know it for my sake) we are going to get engaged on a trip to Vietnam in December and January. With the help of several people here, we''ve found a Ritani wedding band and matching engagement ring with a very subtle pave bead setting. She does not like the look of plain metal on her hand. For financial reasons (she''s the pragmatic one and is likely to agree with my thinking) and for safety reasons (not wanting to travel with an expensive ring), I was thinking of proposing with a minimalist band of platinum (2mm). I work in finance and am not likely to know how I stand financially here for a little while and don''t want to "get out over my ski tips" buying her engagement ring and band for the trip when a month and half later I''m likely to be able to do so without the same risk. My thinking is that she can wear the band for a couple of months and then we can do something else with it. Maybe she can wear it alongside her actual engagement ring and band when she gets them. She can have a sweet story of that being a separate ring because that is the ring that I proposed to her with in Vietnam. The only thing holding me back is that she doesn''t love the look of plain metal on her hand. She is very subtle in her jewelry and has even said to me that while things are hairy in the financial world, she doesn''t even need a ring. She certainly isn''t very picky or need a lot of "bling", but I want her to be happy. I realize that this is a tough one to give advice on, but thoughts?
