It was less than a week for me too. We had looked at some and discussed and I knew he ordered the ring and it arrived on the Wenesday. He proposed on the Friday.
If it goes as he's been saying, it'll be one day. It'll arrive tomorrow, he's planning on Saturday for the proposal. Can't wait to find out exactly how he does it. :)
Three days for me (although I didn't know at the time, but I found out later).
@LuckyinLove17: I'm not sure why he wants to wait for "warmer weather" since it gets cold early in T.O. and Spring isn't exactly around the corner. I hope he's trying to throw you off, since once the deposit is down, they start work on the ring. My SO put a deposit down on the perfect diamond over 3 weeks ago, and our jeweler told us 2 weeks (we've been good customers, so his order got on the speedy track.) I KNOW the ring is done and is at our jeweler, or in the house.
Just hope it's like a hot potato when he finally gets it, and he proposes ASAP!
He never technically proposed in the traditional sense. We discussed getting married, shopped for settings and stones, then took it home after the stone was set and the ring sized. :) So really, not wait time.
DH spent 4 months waiting for the "perfect moment" to propose, so it's possible you may be waiting for spring-- but you know it's coming, enjoy the anticipation! :-)
I bet once he has it it will burn a hole in his pocket! I'm betting he won't be able to make it to the "warmer weather" to propose!
I actually had no idea that my husband planned to propose to me. I wanted to show him the types of rings I liked, because he knew that I wanted to get married. About a month later, he proposed. I was definitely surprised, considering he said he didn't want to get married for another few years.
EDIT: My proposal happened to be on Christmas Day. So, yours might be trying to give a "surprise" and hopefully not wait too long if he doesn't plan to do it for Christmas. Just try not to think about it too much, just know that it's there, and be patient (:
Less than a week after he had the ring, he proposed. He tried to throw me off saying he wanted to wait a few months for the "right timing". He's a TERRIBLE liar, and plus I overheard my dad talking on the phone to my grandmother saying that my FI had asked him if he could marry me :) he proposed 2 days later.
I am hoping he is trying to throw me off and I know it's exciting waiting and I am really excited and full of anticipation, but I think waiting that long will be super hard! I just don't want to nag him at all about it, in fact, I don't want to bring it up again, I just want it to happen. But if he decides to hold onto the ring for 5-6 months, I think I will go CRAZY!!
After he had the stone... almost a year. After he had the ring... a week, and only because he was out of town.
Maybe by warmer weather he means that he's taking you somewhere warm this winter to propose? You can always hope for a tropical vacation ;)
@Eckle: Hahaha I wish! We went on quite a few vacations this year (family trip, destination wedding) so I would be surprised if we are going away anytime soon. But, I girl can hope I guess :)
@almostmrsj: How come the long wait between getting the stone and the ring? I know the ring is being made now as he put the deposit on it and its supposed to take 3-6 weeks. So, I can assume, that if he has not proposed by the end of the year (as he will have the ring at that point), then he will be holding on to it for a little while.
@LuckyinLove17: He's younger than I am, and had never been in a serious relationship before we started dating. He bought the stone, which was a LOT of money, and freaked out a little. I let him know it was fine to freak out a little, it's a lot of money and a big commitment, he had to be sure. He was, just needed a little time to adjust to the idea. Then it took quite a while to find someone to make the ring. We went through a couple jewelers who never got back to us or totally jerked us around on the price. Once we found a good one it still took over a month to get it made.
I got a peach champagne sapphire as well!! I picked the stone out of 2 options, I then told the jeweler and my fiancé the rest was up to them. the only information I ever knew was that he had paid for the stone. But once he bought the stone he didn't propose for about 7 months later. they took their time designing and picking out the best features, it was a big purchase so he paid little by little till it was paid off! But once he told the jeweler he was ready and wanted to give it to me if only took a week for the jeweler to finish it and for my guy to propose. The main thing for me is I wanted to be surprised and I was!! I was very anxious but it's important to remember he wants to propose he is probably just waiting for the right moment. Relax, it will happen!!!
My proposal was first, then the ring. 2 months to pick out the ring. 1 month for the ring processing (ordered online). FI got down on one knee and did another proposal when the ring came, it was really cute. Waiting SUCKS!
My husband proposed the day my ring arrived! I hope yours comes sooner rather than later, and that it goes perfectly :)

So the SO and I went to our jeweller again last night because she said she thought she found the perfect champagne sapphire, and she was right! It was amazing, I loved it right away! So after I gave my confirmation that that was indeed the stone that I wanted to go with, I was kicked out of the store and sent to a coffee place to wait while the SO and the jeweller got things going, lol. So I know he put a deposit down for the custom ring and I know it should take 3-6 weeks to make it. So I know about when he will have the ring (just before X-mas), so I just have to wait. The SO said that I shouldn't expect a proposal soon becuase he wanted to wait for "warmer" weather (we are in Toronto, Canada). Now, I don't know if this was his way of throwing me off about when he would proposal or not because warmer weather for us will not be until sometime in May or June, which seems soooo far away. Maybe he has something planned for the proposal that needs to be outside...
So my question is, how long did you wait for the proposal after you knew he had the ring?
And, do you think he was trying to throw me off by saying that I will have to wait for maybe 6 months???
