How exciting! Congratulations to all of you, but in particular to your son for whom this must have been stressful. Phew, it’s all down hill from now. Only thing they have to worry about is the wedding. Easy peasy

Thanks @katliamom! Yes, I do think he was nervous about getting just the right ring. I think he ended up doing the right thing by sticking with her friend in the jewelry business. It seemed important to her, and the friend deals in wholesale so he was able to get a very nice sized diamond at cost . I like platinum in general so was surprised I liked the gold as much as I did when I saw the ring. Seems like gold is having a little bit of a comeback.
@sevmom, me too! I love my platinum rings but FDIL wanted gold and S bought her exactly what she wanted…an oval diamond solitaire in a simple gold setting, no other stones.

That sounds lovely, @runnersmom . And so nice when they pay such attention to what their partner wants and prefers.

Son’s ideal ring was a sapphire, but DIL wanted a diamond in rose gold setting. While in Scotland, they splurged one night to stay in a castle. That’s when he presented her with the ring.
