Let’s talk rings

So my boyfriend has been talking about us getting engaged sometime. Yesterday he started talking about what color setting would compliment my skin tone. But honestly I have no idea. I’ve wore lots of rings in my past gold, rose gold, and silver(lots of it) and he personally thinks gold would compliment me. I was engaged previously and I’m just also not sure how to go about this whole process. Because last time me and my now ex shopped for each others rings together and I knew when he was proposing. This I just want to go different and be more special.

Sooooo how to find a ring to drop hints? Any ideas that would compliment my hand?

Here’s a picture of my hand. It might be hard to work with because of the tattoo.
