For me the sensitivity is around the fact that it is an expensive gift that may or may not be free to fix/change and took time and effort to pick out.  If someone gifted me with an orange Lamborghini and orange is my least favorite color, I have a decision to make.  Is it so bad that I’ll never drive it so it would be better to be honest about it now versus the person noticing I never use it.  Or do I think it might grow on me, or can wait it out a few years to get exactly what I want.  There are many ways to express dissatisfaction with a gift that can sound ungrateful and set a pattern where the person doesn’t want to surprise you with a gift/get it all wrong.

To OP, I think because it’s the band specifically, not the whole ring, there is a way to be gracious and compliment the main setting.  Something along the lines of it being a beautiful setting and wanting the focus on the main setting by having everything else plain.  But before you go down that route, make sure you like plain wedding bands as well with a solitaire engagement ring so you are staying consistent with what you tell him. [/quote]
