I'm Proposing To My Girlfriend. Need Your Opinion, Especially Ladies.

I've been with my girlfriend for an absurdly long time--14 years. So, it's time to put a ring on it. My mom has given me her mother's ring, a family heirloom, to give to my girlfriend.

It's perfect...except that it's not the cut she prefers. It's a gorgeous ring and beautiful setting, etc. Now, we're not starving but not made of money, either, and it seems silly to get another diamond to put in this ring. I just want to give it to her as is.

Do you think it's a mistake to do that? Spending big bucks on another ring seems wasteful. That money could be spent on the reception, home improvements, etc.

No wrong answers, new ring or is the old one ok?

Since your mother gave it to you to give to her and its a family heirloom she should understand the importance not the cut, tell her in few years you will get her a special diamond ring. Congrats
