Just picked my ring!
Yesterday my boyfriend took me to a jewelry to pick my engagement ring. I liked the most two of the rings, one of them is very elaborated, but with a small diamond, the other is extremely simple, thin, in gold, with a rhomboid diamond... i forgot to take a pic of it 
but i decided for the last one, its simplicity makes it very beautiful! And I am so excited about it!
but i decided for the last one, its simplicity makes it very beautiful! And I am so excited about it!By the way... the girl in the jewelry told us that buying a trio (the engament and both wedding rings) is cheaper than just buying an engagement ring 
Now it's time to wait for the proposal... I have no idea when that could be. lol

Re: Just picked my ring!
I know he want's the moment he gives it to me to be special and somewhat of a suprise and I love that.
So in the meantime I'm hanging out here and trying to just enjoy the time we have until the proposal. The one thing I am trying to avoid is expecting it everytime we go out. I don't want to miss any special moments because I'm too busy just waiting for him to give me the ring...
Good luck and congrats on being engaged to get engaged! :-)
The day I married my best friend!

Ah, this would explain the rhomboid vs marquis. Lost in translation.
DV, mine was a serious question. I thought maybe it was a term I just hadn't heard before. :)

That's understandable. Keep hanging around here and you'll pick up the lingo pretty quickly.

Sorry, DV, I should have paid more attention to your username and assumed based on that and your post that you are ESL.
