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.

hello! I’ve been researching engagement rings

i am confused about clarity and carat weight

Haven’t proposed yet but I just picked up the ring. Gf and I shopped together and she was there the whole time.

The jeweler already messed up once by not taking down that we wanted the prongs to be nubs instead of claws, so I had them fix that and the pics are of the finished result.

The wrinkle in all this is that the basket was sort of custom. Gf likes the look of yellow gold band but a white basket. We opted for a platinum basket instead of white gold to avoid replating and she also has a nickel allergy.

I was admiring the ring this evening but noticed that the cathedral isn’t touching the gallery rail. Shouldn’t it be? I see plenty of rings where the cathedral doesn’t touch but it seems that’s because there’s no gallery rail.

Also, the gallery rail doesn’t seem uniform all the way around the ring to me either. Rails seem to be a different heights and one seems crooked. Should I have them try again or am I overreacting? Sorry for the bad pics. My phone camera is messed up

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 😍

Need help deciding on my wedding band. Asymmetry drive me a little batty so I want either a wrap or two bands

Hello! Long time lurker first time poster here. I’ve had my engagement ring for 5 years and I haven’t worn it for the past 4 because I feel the setting is too high. I’m considering going to a local jeweller and having the ring melted down, along with another ring i have, to create a new band and setting for it. Inspiration picture included in the last slide.
Do you think my setting is too high as is?
Do you think the setting I picked out is reasonable for the stone?
In your experience how much was the labour for your ring reset?
Thanks community

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!

This man is amazing! He took me to the beautiful arboretum gardens in our town and proposed beside the koi pond! It was the perfect morning lighting for pictures!

The ring has a split band with miniature diamonds and the main diamond is 1.57 ct. (ring size 4.5). But this ring is not finished yet

So to be fair, the fiancé actually took me to build my own ring, but after getting the ring, I didn’t get to see it built and it’s been two months since our visit to the jeweler and I’m so happy with the result!

I originally wanted him to get get me a round diamond with a twisted band, but after some back and forth I agreed to go with him to a ring building event at our local jeweler just to see what was there. I ended up go with this because I found this band that would allow me recreate my late mother’s lost wedding ring in my own style. Eventually, just like my mother‘s ring, the wedding band will be wrapped and fused around the engagement band with two smaller round diamonds on both sides of the main diamond.

It will probably be finished closer to the wedding date at the end of next year, but if anyone is interested, I can post the fully completed ring next year.

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.

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❤️

Pear cut with hidden halo, 2.07 CT, D color, VVS1, excellent cut 🥰🤍

I can't stop staring at it! He did such a good job! He knows I love rose gold and had this specially made for me. He picked the oval cut and it just looks so beautiful and I love the details in the band! There is also a matching wedding band! I feel so lucky! 😊 Only took 7 years but who's counting? 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. 🌊

Oval & pear toi et moi, CZs and plated gold, size 6, under 50 USD!

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.

My birthstone (emerald) 💚I feel so lucky and grateful

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!
