make sure your jeweler has a return or exchange policy and be
understanding
» Men don’t know a whole lot about jewelry in the first place. The best
time to tell, according to them, is just a bit after the proposal has taken
place to spare his feelings. And remember that he won’t mind especially
if you said yes!

7. 5 In response to advice seeker and newly engaged Mario who needs
5
an expert opinion on the fact that his fiancée hates the
ring, Veronica at hubpages.com offers two possible explanations.
» Issue #1: How much did he spend?
Answer: If he spent enough but did not go overboard, he did a good job.
He should consider the following questions thoughtfully. What can he
really afford? Is he regularly dropping money on himself but scrimping
on you – and what is arguably the most important purchase of his life to
date? Using some of his savings is a viable option to help defray some of
the cost.
» Issue #2: Could it be the style?
Answer: Plain and simple, you don’t like it. It doesn’t jibe with your
personal taste. He gave you a yellow gold ring when you don’t wear any
to begin with. Or it may be too over the top for you. Or it’s too
traditional when you’re more contemporary. Come to an agreement on
why you don’t like your ring. The ring could be a microcosm of the types
of challenges lying ahead, so this is one issue you need to address and
resolve before going any further.
