Chiming in again. He sounds a lot like my dh. Best husband and father in the world but saw no value in jewelry at all. His parents are the same way. We were in grad school when we married so I never gave jewelry much thought. Kids and life happened and I was happy with the 1.2 ct diamond my mother gave to my husband for me. After finances got better better I decided to upgrade last year (married 16 years). It took a conversation about how important it was to me. I understand that he didn't really value it but I did. It was no different than him owning things that I didn't value, of which there are plenty which I didn't point out - he already knew it! In the end, I have upgraded twice and am over the moon with my new ring. He sees the value now that I am so happy with it. Lol, he has even called it stunning a few times!!!
I think that if you have the money, now is the time to have the conversation. If you plan to have kids, they get expensive and the focus tends to fall toward homes, cars, savings, etc.
