No, he picked out and bought the ring himself (a buddy of his was with him). He did a great job, it's simple but beautiful. When he finally gave it to me I asked him if it was real. LOL Was that rude?
No, not really. My ex gave me a beautiful ring, simple, pear shape, about 1 1/2 carots I would say. It was tiffany set but with only 4 prongs (didn't look like it was very secure). I took it to the jewelers during a re-mounting sale and picked out a nice mounting that 5 prongs and a safety band, anyway the guy took my ring and cleaned it, started looking at it through his loop and then took me aside and said "you know this diamond isn't real right?" I was mortified, but kept my cool and said "oh yes, I just love this ring and really want it set in that other setting".
I went home and flipped on my fiance'. It wasn't the fact that it was fake that had me wound up, it was the fact that he tried to passed it off to me as real. I should have realized then...it was just the start of the lies yet to come.
