A little harsh, but possibly the way he’ll (fiance to be) will feel too. I agree with Dillon on this one though. Tough call, but this is something that should symbolize THIS relationship, not someone else’s — even though that relationship does have significance.
Engagement ring girl- here’s my idea: I assume your boyfriend is thinking of this diamond as a family heirloom, which means he’ll eventually want to pass it onto his daughter or daughter-in-law. That’s harder to do if you’re going to wear it on your finger until you kick the bucket. Go with the necklace idea and tell him it’s so that you can pass it onto his daughter/daughter-in-law on her future wedding day. If the diamond is in your engagement ring, that doesn’t really work. But, that idea does work for something more shareable, like a necklace. If he’s as great as you say he is, he’ll get the picture and appreciate that you put some thought into a good alternative.
