Bonjour and congratulations Valerie!

    I went through a similar questionning when my husband proposed me...
    but being students and poor I ended making both my engagement ring
    and our wedding rings (and I am really happy with them). 

    Anyway, what I suggest is to first give some thoughts to what
    engagement means for both of you and how a ring could symbolize your
    relationship. Colors, textures or patterns can have some meannings
    for you...A ring can be just a ring... but an engagement ring, this
    should be really special to you... 

    Maybe you'll find out that a very simple solitaire is what suit you
    best? After all it is a strong symbol. Or you'll want to illustrate
    your relationship through an intricate pattern... 

    With this in mind, you could together review and comment the work of
    some of your favorite artists and then maybe leave it up to him.
