YES YES YES! I would choose the whole shebang together, but yes, let her choose. Propose to her with a ringpop maybe or some kind of symbol that is a personal symbol or inside joke (like if you met at a bar you can find some kind of item from that bar and propose there with it), and tell her that you want her to be in charge of picking a ring that makes her heart sing, and discuss the budget from the start.Timm|1479484117|4100205 said:Should I just let my girlfriend choose her own setting and stone?

You could tell her you'd be happy for her to have as much or as little involvement as she wants - she can choose, you can totally surprise her, or something in between. Even the most adamant "surprise me" girl would probably be fine with at least telling you she'd rather be surprised.Timm|1479818773|4101408 said:Thank you, it helps to know what a lot of others here think, but it still doesn't solve my problem.
