Definitely! After 20 years of marriage, I saved for a year to get a diamond. WE chose the stone and the setting TOGETHER. When I showed it to a neighbor, she said, "Nice ring you bought yourself." Still remember that comment from over 20 years ago! So, if YOU buy it, don't tell anyone but your husband. Most stores will hold a piece until the husband can look at it. If he's smart, he'll also buy it, have it wrapped, and present it like it was HIS idea!
