Thanks!
I am having more second thoughts today though and am now leaning towards exchanging it for a diamond.
I LOVE the sapphire ring, but I just feel like I want my engagement ring to be diamonds.
And I worry that with this ring, it's too big and fancy and either I'll look stupid wearing it with jeans or scrubs (I'm a nurse) or people will just assume that it's a costume jewelry ring and won't even know I'm engaged!
A diamond also just goes with more stuff and I really could wear it every day.
I'm confused.....
Second, try to put other people's opinions out of your head and think about what YOU want. My ring is far from traditional, but it's what I wanted and I love it. Most people don't see it as an engagement ring. Occasionally when I have to explain my ring to people I'll come home and think "maybe I should have gotten a normal engagement ring". But then I realize that I love my ring, it suits me perfectly, and who cares what other people think. Not to mention the possibility of you getting a fantastic wedding band and moving your engagement ring to your right hand, or something like that if you chose. I wanted stacking bands so that between my engagement and wedding bands i would have the look of a wide diamond band. I work with my hands as well, so it was not only a style choice but a practical one. It's all about you, and I think your ring is beautiful!
Here's my engagement ring so you know what I'm talking about. http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item...+6-ri+-ni+0-t+
