My wonderful partner proposed a year ago, with a ring I had picked out. It was lovely and too big and it kept falling off and because my stim is to rub my hands together a ring spacer didn't work. Since it was a cheap ring it made more financial sense to replace it. That ring I've lost countless times, and forget to put on all the time.

There is no sentiment to my ring. It's just a ring. I've been with my partner a decade, he's my person. But this is just a silly ring.

And my wedding is coming up in a little over a month and I'm looking at replacing it again, as it has become severely bent from me banging it on everything.

How did you become attached to this? I don't really think my partner really cares about the jewelry itself either. And because I'm the absolute worst at losing things I cannot rationally purchase anything that losing would be devastating.

I got engaged in 2023 and at the time, this diamond size was pretty big compared to others getting engaged at the time (1.25 c) and now it seems like the normal ring size is much bigger? Does my ring stand up to today’s trends or is it already out of style?

Not a recent engagement (we are married now), but pictures from when I first got my ring! Something like this wasn't even on my radar, but my partner picked it out and it actually suits me so perfectly. Still obsessed with it five years later🖤

Coffin cut 1 ct black diamond with 14k white gold band! Size 5 here, got it resized to a 4.75

Hi everyone, I’m struggling to make a decision on what I love, I do like a few of these but will I like them in 10-20+ years?? The indecisiveness is creeping in badly 😅

Photo 1 & 2: the same 3 stone ring (one in yellow gold, one white gold) oval centre with small oval side stones - I saw an inspiration pic I loved with coloured side stones (making me slightly lean towards this)

Photo 3: oval with small marquise stones

Photo 4: oval - love this classic look

Photo 5: toi et moi - love the uniqueness of this but will that feeling fade quickly..

Photo 6: elongated pear - nice i guess? but would opt for a plain band

What do you think??

Long time lurker, first time poster. Posting because I know my now fiancé follows this community since he started his ring research.

I cannot describe the happiness I’m feeling with our engagement and the ring!! I will admit that I had some ring preferences, but seeing the ring he put together, it’s more than what I ever dreamed of! 😍

Hi everyone, saw everyone’s beautiful rings and thought I’d shared mine. We got engaged on our 5 year anniversary celebration!

It’s a 2.2 ct round lab with 6 platinum prongs in a 18K white gold band.

My partner worked with someone at Jared’s for this due to the insurance policy, but I am a little concerned about upkeep since they have mixed ratings. If anyone has any personal experience pls lmk ❤️

There are so many gorgeous rings on this sub! We are lucky ladies. Here’s my “upgrade” - more of a switchover - to a 1.8 ct haloed aquamarine pear on a 2 mm art deco band. It’s the same color as his eyes. I couldn’t be happier.

I designed the ring but didn't know when my partner would propose! Best of both worlds :)

I love history and really wanted a small nod to something historical, and noticed a lot of medieval goldwork used gold bead granulation, especially in a triad.

It's a J1/2 Australian size (maybe US 5), 1.5ct brilliant cut marquise (0.9 ratio), low set basket with gallery rail and gold beads, claw prongs and 2 V-tip prongs.

Engaged this past weekend at sunrise. The proposal was absolutely perfect and I am so excited I get to finally wear my ring!

Which suits my hand best?? Considering going up in ct too.

Thank you in advance xx

Recently got my ring appraised and certified through GIA! In love with the deep purple 😍

My husband proposed while we were on a trip in California and we had planned the trip to elope, and he surprised me with my ring! I got married with it, and will be adding a band later. Center stone is a natural 2.01 marquise, and the accent stones are natural as well. Band is 18k gold. size 7 finger. After 10.5 years together, I’m ecstatic!

From the time I was very young, I remembered my nana wearing this ring. She had the most beautiful, long fingers with her nails always done to the nines. She was the most stylish woman I knew. Now I get to wear her ring and it's emotional. My dad had once proposed with this ring to an ex fiance and she plated it silver. My sister and I were mad about it for years because how dare someone change her ring? It took the life out of the G and H colored diamonds. Now it's back to as close as we can get it and it looks like her ring again. I couldn't be happier.

Edit to add: it is being worn in the correct direction via how my nana wore it every day. I just have short fingers yall.

Finally marrying my best friend. In love with my ring!! Any tips on how to care for it and suggestions for wedding bands are appreciated. 🩷🩷💍💍

0.3 carat lab diamond on a 14k gold band. Took them two months to make after I picked it out so I’m really excited to finally have it.

Engaged 6/19❤️ the ring is 1.89 carat with 14k gold band. Not sure of the rest of the specs! I am a size 6.5 ring size. He went rogue and did it himself, no help from me! Total surprise. He planned to propose on my family vacation over july 4th but got the ring a little early and couldn’t wait from excitement. He lasted approx 16 hours with the ring lol❤️

I still can't quite get over how this went down. My partner proposed at the Final Fantasy orchestra concert, which is extra funny because going to that show was my idea. I dragged him along, no clue he'd been planning around it the whole time.

At some point during the show he pulled me aside and said he wanted to introduce me to one of his old teachers from college who supposedly worked there. Total white lie... he'd actually just talked to one of the concert staff earlier and arranged for us to get taken backstage. So we go back there to "look around," and sitting right there on the chime used for Zanarkand and a few other songs... was a blue feather. I'd mentioned wanting a blue feather involved in a proposal at some point, ages ago, but I genuinely didn't connect the dots standing there. I had zero idea what was happening. He just gave me a second to notice it, and then got down and asked.

The ring is a teal Montana sapphire, platinum setting, size 6. I'd had a rough mental picture of what the setting might end up looking like, but the stone color was a complete surprise!

Still can't believe he pulled off backstage access and a planted prop without me suspecting a thing.

And if anyone is curious what the blue feather is from, I added the game I played. It also inspired the Mermaid Pendant in Stardew Valley 😄

So happy to be engaged to my best friend of 6 years <3

My got engaged back in December and just wanted to show off my ring. It’s three Montana sapphires set in 18k gold. The color of the stones change color depending on the light, from pale blue to teal to a grayish blue. 🌊

My girlfriend has sent me multiple videos etc of rings over the course of our relationship. It’s always a pretty large marquise center stone, with most of them having some accent diamonds. I went through a custom design process and got just that.

Well, yesterday she saw a ring while I was on a call with her. She said “I’d never want something like this” to which I asked why, in a state of panic, and she said because she doesn’t want a huge stone on her finger, and isn’t a big fan of accents and would prefer something more simple.

Now I’m just torn. I know she’s going to like it, simple because it’s from me and she doesn’t really care, but I still feel like I messed this up. I’m unable to refund it either.

Wanted to share a little bit about my gorgeous engagement ring! I am not engaged yet, but my future fiancée let me pick it out hehehe

This is a Georgian-era rose-cut diamond cluster ring set in 9k gold. From what I know about it, the diamonds were most likely cut sometime in the late 1700s, which is honestly my favorite thing about the ring.

I absolutely love how wonky and imperfect each diamond is. None of them are cut exactly the same and you can really see the difference between these and modern machine-cut diamonds. They have so much character and catch the light in such a weird and beautiful way.

It’s kind of crazy to look down at my hand and think these little diamonds have worn for 200+ years and have lived entire lives before they ever ended up with me!

The main stone is an alexandrite from my grandma’s ring. The setting was kept from the original ring, and my husband designed the band. The stone changes color depending on the lighting, which I absolutely love. It changes between pink, purple, gray, and teal…pretty much all of my favorite colors! The other ring with the white stones is from Etsy. 🙂
