It seems to me this is such a relationship dependant question, and all on how the woman will respond.
In the end, its a small symbolic rock. There is something really romantic in the notion of the guy picking it out w/o input from the woman. He tries to find one she'd like, sure, but she wears it for the symbol regardless of whether she'd prefer something else. I mean you wear a dozen things every day you pick out; there'd be just the one thing someone else picked out.
That said, our first xmas together I bought my then GF several shirts. She made no pretense of liking them, or wearing them. They were returned. She did apologize, but explained she just couldn't wear what I bought. Given this history I didn't try to pick out any ring.
Coltrane should start with some ugly Xmas gifts and see if she wears them.
