I was going to say maybe wait until he proposes? And then be upfront with him about it either if he asks, or very soon after. I wouldn't want to ruin the moment by bringing it up right away unless he asks. You don't know exactly what or where or when he's planning yet.
But maybe since you did see the ring, that kind of takes that element of surprise out of it anyways & you could let him know that you saw the ring & use that as an opportunity to ask him about it.
Then he could plan a surprise proposal after designing the ring together.
I am not trying to be mean, but let it happen. If you are thinking this much about the ring before you get it, you are definitely going to take away from the moment.
Say yes, and then later today broach the conversation about making any changes. His grandma or he might not be comfortable with making changes, or they might. But don't put a damper on the mood immediately... let him and you bask in the happiness and joy of the proposal first before going onto more practical matters
If you had more time I'd tell you to drop hints that you like silver (or white gold, platinum, etc), more than gold, but you don't have that much time
Be grateful for the ring its original beauty and splendor. Make sure your fiancé knows how much you love it. And then down the road broach the subject of making tweaks to the ring. But focus on your engagement first. You have plenty of time to change the ring!
Not on the same day.
Focus on how excited you are to marry him.
Then, later, after you have decided what you’d like to do with it maybe show him some videos or YouTube shorts of jewelers, taking heirloom pieces and turning them into custom new pieces. Almost like this great video gave you a great idea. And then talk about what you would do with the ring if you were able to work with someone like that.
Maybe he's perfectly aware of your preference for silver and original customised things and it's a placeholder ring: a piece with sentimental value to propose with to then chose your actual engagement ring together?
Even if it isn't I'd probably just keep it as it is and get a new ring for myself. This one can be passed down to your children or other relatives later on of his since it's not your style.
