OP here.  This is interesting.  If you are the woman, you knew when he was proposing?  (Alternatively, if you are the man, your now wife knew you were proposing?)  I'm just curious as to how that works.  You split the ring half and half, but how/when is it given? [/quote]

Honey, like you, my husband and I had a child before we got married. Yes, we went half/half on the ring because I knew exactly what I wanted. PLEASE stop acting as if the proposal is mysterious. You are already a family. You are having a conversation about getting married. There is no secret here, no suspense. Figure out what you want (e.g. stone, cut, metal) and start pricing.

I got the 16-stone ring from Tiffany's. It has increased in priced substantially. I think I got it for around six grand. We got our wedding bands from Cartier. I liked a beautiful, simple gold piece they had for $400. Yes, at Cartier. I bought the tri-color ring for him, and it came to around $1,000.

I did recon ahead of a shared visit. We each slapped down a credit card and left happy. Done. I think we went to Clyde's to celebrate (which makes me smile).

You have a child together, love. The proposal is over, and you already accepted. The ring and the ceremony are a punctuation mark to what you've already established----not a start point.
