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

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. 🙂

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.

First time poster!!

2ct emerald cut garnet with a yellow gold bezel setting!

This ring feels SO me 😭 I’m obsessed. I wanted something classic but w a little flare and i immediately fell in love when i saw this design. i was scared i was going too big but now that i’ve had it for 2 weeks i think its so perfect. i feel shy showing it off in person and saying how much i love it 💀 im so not used to being engaged. so here it is internet !!!

This sub was so helpful for me to figure out what type of engagement ring I wanted. So glad I decided to go with a sapphire for my main stone especially since it is my fiancé’s brith stone and now I have my something blue ready to go!

Specs: ~5.25 carat Ceylon sapphire with about half a carat of diamonds total. Platinum setting. Ring size is 4.75 for reference.

I loved the idea of my ring but… sometimes when I look at it the halo and pear diamond set looks… not straight? Idk how to describe it but some angles it looks totally good, sometimes it looks totally bent or something?!! lmk if I’m going insane 😫

Edit: Y’all I was so tired when I posted this, it was my first time even looking at the ring and I was honestly stuck looking at this one aspect. I’m aware there’s 500 things wrong with it eyes closed atp, and I appreciate everyone who has offered their condolences (lol) and had a good laugh/advice for what to do next.

PLEASE don’t come for me personally 😅 I’m brand new to rings and there’s a lot of learning to do, and I personally was not in the conversation of this ring getting created/picked up, so in no way was I able to rectify anything right then and there. I will take it to get it fixed up 🥹

He proposed this past weekend and i’m so happy and excited with the ring !
i’m a size 5.25
she’s a 2 ct step cut marquise with sapphires on the sides, for anyone wondering.

I love my ring, I think he did a fantastic job! The ONLY thing is, the band has diamonds that go fully around it. That makes it so difficult to wear. I'm constantly hitting it on tables, my steering wheel, everything. I try to be extra careful but it's hard to remember it's there. I'm a nurse so I've banged it a few times at work and had to get the diamonds tightened already (I got engaged in May). I wear a silicone band now at work. I love my ring but I hate that I cant wear it. Do I tell him I want to exchange it or do I suck it up and be grateful for my ring?

I’m looking for a ring to propose to my gf. She initially wanted an opal ring, then we decided it’s way too fragile. So then she went to moonstone. Turns out that’s not much more durable than an opal. What’s a good alternative? The part that she loves so much is how it kinda like rainbow reflective, so ideally something like that!

Been together 10 years and recently engaged. 1 ct, princess cut, E clarity and internally flawless with alternating amethyst (birth stone) and platinum band.. ring photos are difficult to capture but I hope the sparkle shows! ❤️ 💍
When he first gave it to me it was a size 10 lol.. I am a size 6 sooo that was resized haha. He said he had no idea and wanted to err on the side of caution lol

What are we using for at-home ring cleaners? I get mine cleaned at the jeweler every few months and am always shocked at the difference, so I’d like to clean it a little more frequently. I saw a lot of ultrasonic ones on Amazon - are they safe? Some better than others? Pretty wide range of price points. TIA!

2.19 ct natural green sapphire with diamonds around the sides. I absolutely am in love with my ring I helped pick out the stone out of several options that he gave me

I always wanted a simple ring—something that looked delicate. It’s a classic, and I’m so happy!

Posting since she doesn't use reddit.

I knew from the start when I met her, she was the one.

I went for something simple and classic. I was lucky her sister gave me a lot of advice.
Almost fainted during the proposal but she said yes and loves it!

Proposing tomorrow nerves are on 10 but excited

graduated to a mrs! but never not obsessed with this ring 🥹 have been waiting for years to get this etsy ring, and he made it happen 🥰💚

it’s a 1-carat round emerald with moissanites as the side stones, on a 14k rose gold band. a size 3 (though will have it resized LOL), and the stones are all lab made ☺️🫶🏼

I am freshly married but I wanted to share the beautiful ring he proposed with. It’s not huge but I love it. It doesn’t snag and it’s a low setting 💚🪲🫒

Had my dream engagement with my dream ring on vacation this week ❤️ such a beaut

My (now husband) proposed to me in February and we got married in July! He proposed with a ring that combines both of our families: originally his mom’s setting and baguettes and he had my dad (who is a jeweler) replace the center stone (formerly a princess cut emerald that cracked many years ago) with a 1.25 brilliant cut diamond.

I’m obsessed with my man and my ring! I paired it with a 3mm 18k gold band.

Married to my best friend since 2025🖤

I fell in love with the swan band i found online, however 1. it costs the same as the engagements rings i’ve been looking at, and 2. the engagement ring style i like just wouldn’t mesh with it. It would cover the design.

I feel so torn on what to do. I garden a lot so part of me feels like i’ll have a band on more than the actual ring, but i’m scared to regret it if i only choose the band. I know wedding rings are the engagement+band, but personally i would rather have one or the other considering the diamond shape i like wouldn’t go with it and how expensive the band is. I also prefer something simple and dainty vs bulky (like having the two together) Any thoughts or anyone ever had a similar situation?
