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?

It's perfect ☺

Accompany the ring with a letter and a gift.
What matters the most from my perspective is showing your intention. By spending some time to write to her and find a gift too, you are going to compensate, not for the money, but for the time-with-intention(different currency) spend in finding a ring. Strengthen those intentions, especially after that long.
Excuse me for overanalyzing, but it's an important case.
Congratulations!!!:))

@uncalled4 I think she's going to be very happy 😌
I've had two women friends, both of them got married after years of being together in their relationships. They were both very happy when their partners proposed.. and after years that's past, they continue being together
