Diamonds. My fiance is all about his name and coat of arms as well but honestly, I’m not that into his family history. It’s a nice gesture but the coat of arms belongs on a tapestry wall hanging, front doorknocker or family tree. If she has a reason to be into the signet ring, then that’s a different story.

Good luck either way!

i’m not a diamond kinda gal so i would love the signet ring. the history and family tradition behind it would mean a great deal to me! but as i said i’m not a great fan of diamonds - to me they are cold and sterile looking.
i’d marry ya! lol good luck sweetie and come back and let us know how it goes.

You know her best. What falls more with her line of thinking and her tastes. The family signet sounds very romantic in the idea that you are offering her yourself. However, think of how it would look. Even if she says she doesn’t want anything fancy, a small diamond even is good for “oohs and aahs”. I would vote for the diamond as the engagement ring.

I’d go for the diamond. What if she doesn’t like the ring that bears your family name and coat of arms? Every girl loves a diamond..

Go for the diamond. All girls like diamonds. You could always use the ring that has your family name and coat of arms as part of you wedding set.What ever you choose im sure she will love.

Depends on the girl… I would rather have the diamond. Remember the girl wears this ring the rest of her life it needs to be danty and something she can wear with everything!

For me it would be a signet ring for a wedding proposal because that’s romantic to me. I like the hand in hand kind of thing, YESSSSSSSSS!

You could always give her a diamond for the engagement and the signet ring for the wedding ring. Since she won’t bare your name until the actual wedding.

Diamonds all the way. I know that sounds like a typical “girl” answer, but I also love what diamonds represent. They’re the chosen rock for engagements and weddings because diamonds are the strongest of all the precious gems, signifiying the strength of thye relationship.

Signet rings, to me, are just not attractive. But what do you think your girlfriend wants? That’s the true question here.

Honestly, like others have said, it depends on your girlfriend.

Personally, I’d want the diamond. That way she’d get to choose what kind of style she wants, making the ring exactly as shes always pictured it..Remember, this is something she’s going to wear for the rest of her life..asking her opinion about what it should look like would be nice.

However, if you want to completely surprise her, maybe ask her mom or someone close to her what type of rings they think she would like..or if she’s ever mentioned the idea of wearing your family’s ring, you know?
I think it’s sweet that you’re offering her your name..but to me, an engagement ring is the promise of a strong love..a NEW chapter in your lives where you put each other before anything.

New start, new ring

Just my opinion good luck!

Of course most women will say a diamond ring. I would say to base your decision on your fiance. What kind of person is she, what are her likes and dislikes. Is fancy Jewelry her thing.. She may love the ring that bears your family name because it has sentimental value to you. Maybe speak with people close to her.

Get her a diamond ring.

you know her best- and should know what she would truly want.

maybe try to think of some way of combining the two in a new and different way.

good luck.

yes it depends on the girl but theres a much better chance she would prefer diamonds

even though I love history I would go with diamonds all the way

Women don’t wear signet rings, ever. Period.

I understand your feelings about the signet ring and whilst it may be a compliment for her its usual to give a ring thats got some diamonds in it for an engagement.
Cant you wear the signet ring as a symbol of your engagement ?
Trust me you need to be thinking about some gem stone or a diamond.

Signet rings are a little… i don’t know…much? I would get her a vintage style diamond ring with your family name engraved on the inside though. That would be really romantic and it would have the family name too.

I agree with the last post. I would go a vintage style diamond ring and have my family name engraved inside. Then write her a poem that asks her to accept your name. Save the coat of arms for the living room.

Here is a great site for vintage rings:
