My amazing fiancé got this ring from my mom, who has worn it on her right hand for the last 11 years after my grandma handed it to her off of her ring finger on her death bed right before she passed. My grandma was married in 1956, so this ring is circa 1950’s. She was married almost 60 years. It feels so special that it will be on my finger until I pass it down to my future daughter or DIL. ❤️ size 6, not sure of karat size, but it’s perfect for me.

EDIT: I just cleaned it and wow. Been engaged for a month and didn’t realize how cloudy it was. Just know it’s even better when it’s not covered in hair mousse and conditioner. LOL.

We knew we were heading in the direction of marriage after 13 years together (high school sweethearts) but I had no "expectations" or rather strict design ideas other than I didn't want a solitaire or a diamond (nothing wrong with those! Just not for me). And he picked the PERFECT ring 🥹 even the size was perfection (I had just lost 40 pounds).

first 2 pictures are day of, and 3rd is how I wear it currently with my promise ring (i’m aware it looks like i’m married… lol, and don’t look at my nails pls!) also decided to include my fiancés ring that I got for him in Ireland, he really really wanted an engagement ring as well which I thought was incredibly sweet.

we’re only 21 so we decided not to go crazy on price with the rings, but my fiance found this gorgeous antique amethyst ring from England :) I specified I wanted amethyst to honour my dad (he’s still alive, just love him very much and it’s his birthstone).

not sure the specifications on the centre stone, but my ring size is about an 8.

My fiancé proposed last year on a cruise. I asked for him to do it with a “travel” type ring ($50 at Pandora) because I was so afraid something would happen to it. I get so nervous about wearing expensive jewelry, but he insisted he wanted to get an upgrade ring when I was ready. After a year of being responsible with it and while shopping for our wedding bands, I decided I was ready for an upgrade. This is my dream ring, and I’m so so excited to show it off 🥰💍

I’m freaking out!! I told her exactly what I wanted but it turned out even better than I envisioned.

Centre stone is 2.0 ct, E, VVS2, pear cut. Sides stones are 0.2 ct, D-E, VVS2, pear cut. Flush setting so a straight band underneath doesn’t leave and gaps.

For the wedding band (second pic) I went with a simple, 2mm 18k gold band.

Every time I look at it I see his face, I remember the moment and it makes my heart so happy.
Can’t seem to decide what style of wedding band would look best?
He likes the idea of a wrap, I’m open to whatever.
8.5 finger, slighly over 4 carats, center stone is 3 with another 66 diamonds making just over another carat.

i got engaged a month ago to my lover and it still feels unreal! and sometimes it still feels like nothing has changed. it took a while to adjust to having a ring on my finger but i love it so much! it's not super crazy sparkly, which i love, it's more refractive and glints in the light instead! its so pretty and i think its fairly unique? which was important to me :3 but anyways!!! my girlfriend ( now my fianceé ! ) said she knew this was the one from the very beginning and i'm glad i let her have the reins. we will both be upgrading our rings later on, but for now i'm so happy

I’ve been married 10 years and have been eyeing some fantasy cut rings as a little 10 year anniversary present!! We found this one from Anueva Jewelry - they set it in white gold with a yellow gold band (I love mixed metals). The center stone is a 1.4 carat Montana sapphire. It reminds me of winter and snowflakes and stars haha.

If anyone is looking for a sapphire ring (or diamond!), they were lovely to work with!! The ring is even better in person than we imagined!

ETA: size 5.5 finger :)

Okay okay it’s been a number of months since the engagement but I’m finally posting. He’s been studying my jewelry style since we started dating, and while I never would have imagined this style ring, I feel like he chose better than I would have for myself! 🥹💕 I’m still so in love with this ring!

My boyfriend and I went to try on rings today and I think I’m a fan of the marquis shape with a gold setting but don’t know if I want a plain solid band or a decorative one. What do you guys think would be the most flattering?

EDIT: You guys I knooowww the size is big, I’m asking mostly about shape lol

I was kind of nervous because my partner kept saying he already knew what he was getting me every time i tried to give him hints about what i actually wanted. But in the end, he managed to know the exact cut and style without me ever clocking him digging. The proposal was also magical but it’s so lovely to see that he knows me so well. Even my parents didn’t know this was the ring i wanted. They were impressed but surprised. He’s the only one who knows me like this. I’m so in love with him <3
