I think if you go with that infinity you are going to regret it in a few years. Your budget now might be tight, but in a few years it might not. Perhaps maybe you should get a band now, or a smaller solitaire/ribbon/bezet and upgrade in a couple years when your budget works better, and that will give you time to get used to wearing a ring. If anyone is crazy about potential for damage...it's me. Ask anyone on here. And yet, I have actual experience and education about diamonds. And I am still irrational!
I know you like the Circlet, but your future husband apparently did not care for it, and it sounds like it's important to you that you both like the ring you end up with.
