I really hope that's the case here, because if they last, she'll be stuck with that thing forever.

No, she isn't. Any jeweler will gladly trade the stone and/or setting in for something else. I have done it and know. LOL
I had a beautiful ring my DH and I had customized. Then the ring got destroyed. I still had the stone however and ran out and put it in a simple setting to have a ring on my finger, I had two small preschoolers and no time to focus on what I really wanted. Fast forward to our 25th anniversary: I had our jeweler make up a design I love and still cherish.

Yes, of course she could have it changed, but she's a public figure now so people will notice. Not the nicest thing to explain perhaps.

Ben might know exactly what see likes.. If I'm not mistaken Andi told Josh the ring type she liked

I think the ring is beautiful. It looks very similar to my Grandmother's wedding ring that was given to me. Maybe it's a family ring. That would be meaningful. I'm sure she'll love whatever he gives because it came from the man that she loves.

LOL she doesn't have to do it today or tomorrow. But if she really isn't crazy about it, I doubt anyone would know if the relationship lasts 5 yrs and she changed things up.

I recently bought an "upgrade engagement ring" for my wife and at one time I wanted an emerald cut because my mother's engagement ring was an emerald cut; I did a lot of study of diamonds and cuts before making the purchase. An emerald cut doesn't have the sparkle and light return of say a round brilliant cut and looking at an emerald cut is a different experience. You can look deep into the stone and if it's a good diamond (eye clean = no visible inclusions) see clear to the bottom. It's a different experience and a simple beauty all its own.

My first thought when I think of Ben picking an emerald cut is how he looks into Lauren's eyes and can probably feel he's looking deep into her soul - and doesn't see anything ugly there - and a good emerald cut will echo that same experience - depth - not bling or glitz. So maybe yes - he picked that diamond for a reason.

Intersting article pretty much confirming Lauren as the F1 based on everything that's out there in this week's previews of JoJo's LCD where Ben says to her that he loves Lauren too.

I liked what JoJo brought out in Ben even if he doesn't choose her in the end. I think his feelings for her were real and for me they had the most intriguing relationship to watch. I know others see it differently it's JMO.

I don't think anyone here is diminishing the relationship between Ben and JoJo. I didn't see JoJo in love with Ben. That's not diminishing their relationship, it's my opinion and how I feel.

In order to diminish a relationship you have to see significance in that relationship to begin with. I understand that there are some people that saw nothing in the relationship between JoJo and Ben. He didn't love her and she didn't love him. Maybe even at some point there was a deal so JoJo could be the next lead. I get it, I don't share that view but I get it.

Sometimes though what I think happens is there is a recognition that the lead and F2 have something. In order to have a real "love story" with the F1 there has to be something wrong with F2's connection. It's fake or lust or manipulation or.......you fill in the blank. Some people really see nothing between the lead and the F2, I did.

JMO.....I saw a love story with both Lauren and JoJo. He seemed conflicted to me and his feelings for both of them seemed genuine. He cared for both of them but had to let one of them go. And in the end he picked Lauren. As much as he cared for JoJo he still picked Lauren. Some would say it would have been better if feelings for JoJo hadn't developed. I say it's says a lot that he loved both of them but she was the chosen one. My goodness how lucky is she that with all the angst and turmoil and conflicted feelings he picked her. He must really really love her a lot.JMO.i know others don't see it this way.

Enough of my and back to analysis of the latest Trump rally.

Amazing ring

I love that ring! That's my favourite of all seasons! Gorgeous! I'm am not a fan of the cookie cutter rings we've seen the last several years. I'm not a fan of skinny band either like most of them have been.

So very pretty and timeless IMO.

The article says that F1 was never told by Ben that he loved the other woman until after the FRC.
JoJo knows from Ben that he loves Lauren because she asked if he did and he says yes.

"That emotion came later. As Us previously reported, Higgins told the winner postfinale that he also said “I love you” to the runner-up. "

For argument's sake, he told JoJo that he loved Lauren, but we never saw him/heard him telling JoJo that he said those words to Lauren. Imo, that sentence isn't confirmation she's f1.
