I knew about my ring too and I am never planning on telling him because he thinks he pulled off a huge surprise!!
Haha, I knew about it as well. Well he told me that he had it but I went through his suitcase when he was visiting and found that he had it on him. Took a long time to propose though because he wanted to make it special and do it on our big vacation.
My FI convinced me he didn't get the ring, it was terrible and I (as usual) bought it- until the FedEx man showed up wanting the signature of a 21+ year old with a photo i.d.
I knew about my ring, too, and I didn't tell him until like a year later, but he was so sad when he found ou I had known! I shouldn't have told him!
@mouse - I'm glad you said that, I had been considering telling him but now I don't think I ever will!
I knew about his surprise too, but I'd never tell him. He and my sister were in cahoots and I saw her out the window from my room running something to his car (I was away on business in the same city my sister lives in, he drove up to surprise me and she was taking me out to dinner to keep me out of my room while he set everything up).
Longest dinner of my LIFE!
I didn't know about my ring but I have something I won't be telling my FI for a while.
Christmas morning I was trying to wake him up and started to feel bad that I hadn't gotten him enough for Christmas so I ran downstairs and was going to write him a "gift certificate" for a chandelier for his guitar room (I had been looking for one and couldn't find one I liked) but I thought that was lame so I jumped on ticketmaster and got him two tickets to see Gov't Mule I printed them out right before he walked down the stairs. I felt like such a loser but it was his favorite Christmas gift and he's clueless!
FI proposed on vacation and I was getting something in our suitcase while he was showering one night and felt the ring box in a pants pocket. This was on day 2 or 3 of the vacation and he didn't propose until day 10, so I had to wait for a while. I told him about it a couple of months later and he wasn't too upset. We tell each other everything so I can't imagine hiding something like that from him.

I knew the weekend he was going to propose. He had planned a surprise birthday weekend so I was already suspicious, but then I heard a conversation he tried to have in code with his friend. They never said ring, engaged, propose or anything wedding related but I just knew they were talking about him proposing. Even though I knew it was going to happen, I was still caught off guard when he asked. I don't think I will tell him I knew though, he seemed so proud of himself for pulling off a great weekend.
I had smart lipo done on my lower stomach after diet and exercise didn't get rid of the very last, teeny tiny little bit (i had ONE pound of fat removed....one stupid pound!)...i didn't tell him b/c he was deployed at the time and i wanted him to be all surprised by my smokin' hotness =]. Now i feel like too much time has elapsed to fess up! It's been like, 2 years! I know he'd be okay with it though--he knows i want a mommy makeover in like, 10 years, and he's 100% on board if it's what i want.
I knew he was going to propose, and when, because my sister SUCKS and ruined it for me. I never told him, though and never will! He was SO proud of himself for "surprising" me. :/
Stupid sister. I WANTED to be surprised.
My MOH told me he was going to propose and that he'd bought a ring. There is no reason he ever needs to know that :)
Here's another non-ring related:
A few years ago we were having some serious money issues around Valentine's Day. Because of it we agreed not to exchange gifts - instead we'd make dinner together and have a "date" at home. Despite this agreement my guy wanted to get me something so he took a $25 gift certificate that his mom had given him and went out to find me a gift. He got me a cute little stuffed animal and, much to my confusion, a silk flower arrangement that came in a plastic vase. He was so determined to get me something that he didn't realize that the arrangement was one of the types that is used as a cemetery decoration.
I've never enlightened him and I never will. He tried so hard.
I found the envelope and letter from the manager of the ice rink at Rockefeller Center congratulating him on our upcoming engagement on NYE in our bathroom waste basket. It was just thrown out, on top (obviously the tickets were in his pocket). I noticed shortly after I used the bathroom he had shoved the letter down into the bottom and wrapped it with tissue. Too late!
Man my fiance had my ring for a year and I knew nothing...I'm so oblivious to life.
Wow! Awesome thread topic. Very intersting, ladies. I know it's a little idealistic, but I've vowed to try to never keep a secret from him. We work together (he owns a limo company) so it's a hard promise to keep. Needless to say, I screw up sometimes and I hate admitting fault, but I force myself to fess up, anyway. I guess it keeps me honest all around.
That said, I only WISH I had a secret to keep like jewelry surprises uncovered!
Oh, and as a follow up; I think some secrets are meant to be kept. No guilt if you never tell about the ring!! Enjoy your secret.
SAD!! :( I had no idea he had even bought the ring...he proposed one morning when we were laying in bed with the dog. He says that isn't how he proposed, but it is. :) He came home one day and (he says he was so excited he had to give me the ring that day) then he took me to the lake, and sat me down on a large rock on the shore...got down on one knee and pulled the ring out of his pocket...I kept telling him "I already said I would marry you" I'm pretty sure I ruined his big moment. LOL Poor guy. I was totally caught off guard. I think he was caught off guard when they had to resize my ring 2.5 sizes smaller. lol
Mr Green: do not spoil this for your man. we are not as crafty as we like to think we are, and if you know...act surprised! 
Also, beauty secrets should remain secrets...
I had no idea about my ring and I should have! About a week before he asked he was on the Zales website and said he was "looking for a new watch" and when the homepage showed rings he asked me about the style. I went on to tell him what I wanted and didnt even think that he was actually going to do it! He bought it right after he went to my parents house and asked their permission. He had always told me it would be at least 2 years until he was done with school so I had given up. I had always told him too that I wouldnt believe him until he had a ring because he would ask me randomly all the time.
I knew that he had the ring for about a week before he proposed, but I never told him. 
I found an email in his inbox from our aquarium saying they couldn't allow him to put the ring in the tank to surprise me. I think I went in there to find an address or something, we do that from time to time, he just forgot to cover his tracks. I thought it was the sweetest freaking thing ever for him to come up with that on his own! The aquarium is one of our favorite places! I resent them for not being more flexible, I've heard more over the top stories.
I open the mail usually and I had opened his credit card - from the WRONG JEWELER! I had already picked out my ring, my MOH was in cahoots to make sure I got the one I wanted, and he had thought I wanted a a different one that another friend had "mentioned."
He later told me that he had gotten a second card a few days later and was surprised I hand him the mail the night - he still doesn't know its because I opened the first one.
Poor guy! Least I got the right ring!
Our plane tickets to Spokane were advertised as $96 bucks each on the website. By the time I checked out it was $213 a piece! Stupid takes and fees! I'll never tell him how much I really put on my credit card for this trip!
@EJ... does lipo leave a scar??
my thing would be non ring related... ummm, hmmmm.... recently i bought myself a toy for when hubby is away and hubby doesnt know and it does nothing for me so im throwing it out... now that was a waste of money

I was putting away his clothes one fine morning last December and I found a bag in his closet from the jeweler I had found a ring I fell in love dwith!!
The hunt was on, I then tore apart the house until I found it...it was the least I could to contain my excitement (and keep my secret) until he proposed about a week later!!
Is there anything you have done you don't think you will ever tell your FI?!
