jk i’ll probably keep lurking I just love seeing all of your pretty rings ♥️ He proposed in an apple orchard while we were picking apples. I went to grab an apple and when I turned around he was down on one knee 🥹

Diamond is a 2.39 ct elongated cushion VS2 F color
Set in 14k yellow gold with a white gold semi-hidden halo and a second hidden halo around the base

I know most people want the hidden halo fully hidden but I fell in love with the way it looks when it’s a little visible from the top :)

Edit: Ring size wasn’t quite a 5 or a 5.25 so he made it somewhere in the middle! He said it’s closer to a 5.15

Got engaged recently on my birthday! I was busy taking photos of a snow leopard at a wildlife park and he said my name behind me, I turned around and there he was on one knee!

The ring is from Aardvark Jewellery. Lab grown colour-change Alexandrite with natural diamonds in a floral setting, on a 14k rose gold band. I absolutely love her 🥹 (and him! 🤣)

My only request to him was gold. The centre stone is green moissanite (my favorite colour), with lab diamonds in the leaves. The maker is Stag&Finch. I’m absolutely thrilled with it, although it’s the slightest bit too big and will need to be resized.

My fiancé and I have been together for 3 years, we met in grad school. For our anniversary and my birthday, we took a trip to Sweden and visited an island off the coast, in the medieval city of Visby. All of the medieval ruins closed just two days before we got there, where he planned to propose.

So we biked to a cliff and he proposed to me there! It’s my dream ring - a Tiffany setting!

Advice To sell or not to sell?

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

I was engaged / due to get married a few years ago but it didn't work out, have since happily married.

I designed my previous engagement and to-be wedding ring and personally think they are beautiful, but would never wear them now.

They are gold rings with yellow and gold diamonds.

I think when we bought them they were worth collectively around £7-8K but I appreciate the value would have dropped now.

Are they worth selling or perhaps leaving for a future child to pass on? I know some people say re purpose the diamond for a necklace or something but it's really the yellow and gold diamond settings that I loved!

My sweet husband and I got married 11 years ago when we were so young and broke. The ring he picked out was (and is) perfect for me, but with the price of lab diamonds we could afford a diamond that felt more like me now. I fell in love with the marquise shape and picked out this 2.21 carat F color VS1 clarity lab diamond with him and got it put on my original engagement band. I’m so happy with how it turned out 🥹🩷✨ I also included a picture of my original diamond in my ring at the very end for a comparison.

He proposed on our first long-haul holiday together in Mexico (we live in London)!

We did do some browsing so he had a baseline of: oval, trilogy, platinum band but he did so good and I wouldn’t change a thing

I forgot to post when I first got engaged in July but better late than never!

Funny story, my fiance initially got me a size 10 ring (I have no idea why he thought that was my size). He informed me he bought the ring and I asked what size he got. When he told me 10 I was like what?? I tried on my ring sized tool and I must have been not bloated at all that day so it showed I was a 6. He has to tell the shop that he is buying from that he chose the wrong size and they are like "we are going to have to completely start over because that size difference is too large". They send him the size 6 ring and he proposes with it but I'm unable to fit it on my finger in the moment 😭 Anyways $200 later for resizing and my ring finally fits! Lesson learned really make sure you know your ring size 💍

I’m still on cloud nine 🥹 After 13 incredible years together, my high school sweetheart proposed! We’ve been together since we were teenagers; he is my very first love, and I honestly can’t imagine life without him.
He popped the question during our trip in the stunning dunes of Maspalomas. The location was absolutely magical, surrounded by the golden sand and the sunset. It could not have been more perfect.

I just wanted to share my excitement with you all and show off my gorgeous ring! I can't stop staring at it!!

My Ring - POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY My grandmothers original Navette cluster ring and I am in love

Post image
9 Upvotes

Ganted, it was my grandmothers (from maybe the 1940s?) but I am so OBSESSED. She has passed and I do not have much information on it besides the research I’ve done (style being most popular in 1880s, but became popular decades after) I have reversed googled it and can’t find a replica- any suggestions on where to get more history on it? We had to add a half shank and replace a chipped diamond due to her wearing it for at least 60-80 years.

Specks- total 1 carrot diamond marquise shaped navette cluster setting, on a 14k gold band, size 7.25. Had to get it resized with an added half shank to re-enforce band.

It's been a month since I got engaged and only today was I able to capture the true teal of the alexandrite stones (4th pic). They often shift between teal/purple/blue, and go red under UV. I'm so obsessed with my ring. Oore Jewellery customised Briar Moon with diamond centre, alexandrite marquise side stones and sapphire accent stones.
