Engagement Ring Set. How do I do this?
My husband and I have been together for almost 5 yrs now, we were poor when we got married and I just got sort of a cheap Wal-Mart wedding set. That now I have broke the band on the engagement ring and the wedding band hurts my finger. My husband wants to get me a new set but says that we don’t have the money to buy the one that I deserve. Well I found a 2.02 carat 3 ring set and I bought it. Real cheap price for it. But now how do I get him to give it to me, I haven’t even told him I bought it. I have a middle women if I need her, but I don’t know where to start. By the way my husband is a wonderful guy, easy going and all. Please any ideas, advice just help please. By the way I paid under $ 500.00 for the ring and had it appraised for over a $ 1000.00. Whhhhoooo. It is gorgeous.
Ok Sarge, 1st of all my husband does not get mad at me for making decisions. 2nd he told me to pick one out when we got the money. 3rd of all he dont’ have to know that I hid it from him. Not all guys are rude, pants wearin pigs.
Future Mrs. Hubbell the answer to your question is that Wal-Mart don’t guarntee any kind of breakage. They said that I was too ruff on it. Hello! I think I would know if I was too ruff, it is my finger in it.

Good for you on the deal! Where did you get it?
Anyway, to answer your question…I would leave it in plain sight for him to see it when you are not around with a note that says something like “May this ring land on the finger of the woman you love”
You could also have where you purchased it mail it to him?
You could have your middlewoman go shopping with him for a ring and then have her talk him out of everything they see and then she can show up in secret another day with the ring and tell him it was a super good deal and had to get it and that it was perfect bc she knows you will love it!
good luck!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you just screwed up BIGTIME. Your hubby is going to be very P.O.’ed at you for going behind his back and making a decision that the two of you should have made together. The fact that you got a great deal on it makes absolutely no difference — not only did you keep him out of it, you hid it from him. You basically ruined it for your husband because now he’ll be reminded of your selfishness and deceit every time he looks at the ring. Best thing for you to do is take it back and don’t try pulling a stunt like this again.
ahhh course you deserve the beautiful ring and your husband will agree!! he prob would have liked to pick it out himself and surprize you with it but now that you have found one you love he will be pleased and see it in good spirits…
tell him you found the BEST bargain ever and it makes you feel soooo special and beautiful, tell him where you have left the item and ask him to go bring it to you and when he see’s that it is a gorgeous sparkler he will slip it right onto your finger – just like he did that first time he proposed!!

you are his wife and he loves you and will want you to have the ring that you deserve
good luck xx
Why couldn’t you get the walmart set fixed? Im curious because thats where our wedding set is coming from..
you sound like me though!
Understanding that you do deserve a great ring set, I actually agree a little with Sarge. I think you should come clean right now, what is a relationship without honesty??? I’m sure you could have called him before you bought the rings.
He sounds awesome, so I think you should just come right out and tell him and show him. Explain that you couldn’t pass up such a great deal, how much you really love it, and then tell him the appraisal value. If he see’s how happy and excited you are about it, I’m sure he’ll be happy too!! Best of luck…
That is a great deal! I think you say something to your husband about finding such a great deal. I am sure he will be happy that you saved a lot of $ $ . Maybe you can do something with the diamond from your original ring. Like getting the diamond set in another ring that you can wear on your right hand, showing that you still have a piece of the beginning of your marriage.
My fiance bought me a promise ring a year before we got engaged because he didnt have the $ $ to afford “the ring I deserved”. We knew that we were going to get married, but we were young (we still are). We got engaged last year (I got my dream ring) and are getting married in March. The promise ring does not fit anymore because it is all bent, but the diamonds are still intact. We are taking the diamonds from that ring (1/4 ct) and having them added into my wedding band.
You don’t need to get him to give them to you (!). You just wear them, they’re a replacement.
