Do I tell him I don’t like the ring?
I got engaged last night. I knew it was coming because a few months ago my fiancé and I designed the rings together. We wanted to make something the was about who we are as a family. We found a local jewelry maker and gave him an idea of what we wanted, but left the design mostly up to him. Now, I love my ring, I do. It has our daughters birthstone, it has elements of us. It’s beautiful and meaningful and perfect. But it’s huge y’all. It didn’t turn out at all like I was hoping. The band is so wide I don’t even have room for a wedding ring. I’m not much of a jewelry person to begin with and I’m not flashy at all. I like simple, delicate, vintage. And the worst part is that the designer cracked the stone when he was making the ring 😭😭 it’s not huge or obvious, but I can see it. I’m really not the kind of person to let something like that bother me too much, but this is my engagement ring. I feel like it should be something I want to wear not something that’s so big it’s uncomfortable. And the stone. I don’t want a cracked stone on my engagement ring. Am I being selfish? How do I tell my fiancé without hurting his feelings? I don’t want him to think I don’t like it, it’s just really not my style and it’s uncomfortable on my finger.
Here’s my ring:

Here’s the ring I sent my fiancé back when we started talking about rings:

Help 😭
UPDATE: Well I talked to him about it this morning. I told him I love the ring but I don’t know if it’s something I can wear everyday because it’s so big. I also pointed out the crack in the stone. He doesn’t think it’s a crack but there’s definitely some kind of nick in the middle. He said we could take it to the jeweler and ask about what can be done. Then he got kind of pensive and I could just tell that it hurt his feelings. He finally started a little argument about something else and then out of no where said “just go get another ring that you picked out.” So now I feel like the whole engagement has been ruined by this ring and me wanting something more practical. I don’t want to wear this ring everyday (especially now that someone pointed out it’s more masculine) and I feel like I have to now or he’s going to take this so personally.
