Ahhh, I have been seeing all of y’all’s incredible rings for so long and I’m soooo excited to show you mine! It’s so amazing to see everyone’s jewelry that is so attached to love, I ~love it.
I’m a big jewelry person, I wear 7-10 rings every day so my fiancé was under a lot of pressure to get me something amazing. I always thought I would have a more unconventional ring, and definitely not an oval cut!! But here she is, and it just feels soooooo me and completes me and I am obsessed haha. He done good. The proposal was perfect too. 🥰

4.01 carat natural diamond, Oval brilliant/ F / VS2, ring size 4!

Thank youuuu !!

Green lab sapphire, 14k Gold

I think the little stones are green sapphires as well

I don't know my exact ring size. I will need to ask!

It was crafted by the amazing Oore, I've always loved her rings, and my fiancé remembered that 😊

He asked me in the middle of nature, just him and me, a thunderstorm rolling in in the distance, on the last day of summer (31st August). It was perfect. 🥰

Pick One Thoughts/opinions?

I went for an engagement ring consultation today at Cullen! It was so helpful — I went in thinking I knew exactly what I want: lab grown 3ct, oval cut, three stone engagement ring. Turns out I had no idea what I wanted, haha. 2ct is plenty for me, and I love the elongated cushion cut far more than I thought I would.

I would love to know people’s opinions on these! I’ve ordered them based on what I like best right now, but wondering the opinion of the people! I’m looking for something that is relatively timeless, not overly large or flaunty, just something beautiful and wearable. These are all relatively low profile options, as I’m afraid of getting it caught on things if it’s a high profile.

Pick One Which ring to pick??

Thumbnail

123 Upvotes

I need help deciding between styles!! I LOVE the art deco target style ring design. I’m interested in either green emerald (it’s soft, I know) or black onyx. I’d do an old euro cut diamond with either. Probably 1.6ish carats. I also completely love a solitaire brilliant or old euro cut diamond on a plain platinum band with claw prongs. If I went with a solitaire diamond, I’d do about 2.25 carats.

I’m afraid the target style ring is too unique and I’ll get sick of the design and I’ll want something more generic in the long run. And if I did the solitaire ring, I could do interesting wedding bands to add some creativity. My friends don’t love the target style rings but honestly that doesn’t matter to me. I’m just hesitant it’s too bold of a choice to love for the rest of my life.

Would love thoughts on which to choose! And if people with interesting rings regret it or are pleased with their choice.

Just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. As an acknowledgement of making it through the hardest year we’ve had, he mentioned upgrading my ring set. We started looking, then remembered that my mom had the original settings from my Nana and Pops’s marriage in 1946.

I brought it up to mom and she thought it was a great idea. We took it to a local jeweler and had it set with lab sapphires and diamonds. It’s actually smaller than my original, which is a yellow diamond, but my grandparents were my favorite people. I lost them almost ten years ago so it feels nice to have something from them close to me.

Size 5.5. Not sure of stone size. Maybe .75 carats?

With my ring 🤣

I know none of the details beyond it's 2 carats!

I went into a jewelry store to get some of my late grandpas watches apprised (unfortunately they were all fakes) but I fell in love with a gemstone ring (same setting but the stone was emerald cut). The jeweler was able to custom make it to oval/diamond! It's weird having it on my finger lol

He proposed in the Swiss alps with a ring he had custom made to use my granny’s diamond and gold from her ring, with added green tourmaline (my favorite colour). Low set because I’m super outdoorsy and always worried I’d catch and bash a big ring on things. So me, so perfect! I’ve always loved vintage-inspired, dainty rings and filigree details, so he really got it right! 😍😭

Size 5.5 (UK), no clue about the carats as it was an heirloom diamond.

We met on Reddit 8 years ago, so only felt right to share this here 🥹
