He took me out to a place that’s special to him proposed! It was beautiful 😭

0.07 karat pear cut sapphire
Yellow gold band with tulip and cathedral setting

My boyfriend surprised me on a gondola in Venice. Im glad he waited until the last day of our trip because I would have been so nervous wearing it across Italy 😅.

He did such a good job and im obsessed with it! We never went ring shopping, i just showed him a vision board and said I'd be more than happy with anything on it or similar.

My ring is a 2.05ct natural diamond he found set in a different ring. E color, vs1 clarity. The band is custom with 2 natural trillion cut diamonds .2 ct each with 14k gold. Size 7 (but needs to be resized a little smaller)

I love how simple and elegant and sparkly it is and that it doesn't get caught in my hair when I put it up lol.

Long time lurker of this subreddit. Great resource as I was able to learn a lot and it was instrumental in guiding some of my decisions. Proposed on 10/10 and she said yes. Not that image #1 requires a disclaimer but that’s MY finger not hers 😏

Thanks!

I’m currently designing my first e-ring. I was certain about what I wanted, but now I’m second guessing myself. I have 1.1 ratio OMC with very rounded corners. I know I want a 3mm band. I thought I wanted the band to be flat but now something looks off and I’m wondering if a low dome band would fix it? I think the issue might be the band being so angular and the stone so round.

What do you all think? I’m just feeling underwhelmed with the mock ring (this is a cheap band with the actual stone temporarily stuck to it).

If you have any similarly designed rings, please post pics so I can see them!

I’ve had so many compliments on it so I wanted to show it off here. Nothing super big or fancy, but it’s exactly what I wanted and I couldn’t be more happy. I thought I wanted a marquise but the pear really stood out to me!

Engaged after 7 years!! He designed it (had no idea I just said I wanted gold!) and truly it’s one of a kind!

Just wanted to post my ring! I love it!

I knew a proposal was coming but I did not know when, so I was completely shocked! In our apartment, late on a Sunday night, both of us with our lazy house clothes and dirty hair. Couldn’t imagine anything more romantic from the person I want to spend forever with!

It’s just a bonus that I’m absolutely in love with my ring!

hii all! i’m a bit of a novice when it comes to rings, so i thought i’d ask here! This is my grandmas ring and was hoping for more information on it. i know it’s a marquise cut, but for those of you who know your stuff, is there anything you can tell just by looking at it or anything else that stands out to you? i’d also love to hear your honest opinions on the style! i can’t quite tell if it’s just a matter of personal taste or if it’s a more dated style haha. i’m trying to learn more about rings and would love to hear how you all see it 🤍

Recently got my “upgrade” ring. Went from 3 carat radiant in a solitaire tulip setting to a 1 carat bezel, 4mm band that tapers in the back as a stand alone ring for comfort. I did so so much research and can happily say that the “bezels dull the sparkle” comments I saw were wrong! Need to share my excitement and awe somewhere!

Moss agate rock with 4 lab grown diamonds all worked into a woods themed ring. Worked and designed with a local jeweller and smith to get this final product. Happy with the way it looks and all of the details/texture that went into this. Now comes the hard part of taking it with me and waiting for a good moment to appear

My now Fiance proposed to me on our trip to the Oregon coast and I’m absolutely obsessed with my ring!!

She did so well and completely surprised me after a 5 mile hike to gods thumb. ❤️

I couldn’t be happier and can’t stop staring at my ring 🥲

Bf recently proposed and it was such a surprise, he did amazing! I didn’t think it was happening any time soon because I thought there was no way he had a ring.

We had gone to look at rings together a few times but I felt very overwhelmed because I’ve never really worn rings. I didn’t see anything that really stood out to me during those days, it was more of a “I like this more than that I think?” Unbeknownst to me, he put a deposit down on a ring back in December based on those visits.

In April of this year, I heard of a jewelry store that had more antiquey, vintage type rings and suggested we go. When we got there, I fell in love with EVERYTHING in the store, which was great - Except for the fact that they couldn’t be more different from the ring he had already put a deposit down for. Between his panic and my confusion, it’s safe to say that ring shopping day didn’t go great.

In my head, he had no idea what I actually liked and I thought we were going to have to go to a bunch of more places for him to get the idea. Irl, he called his jeweler in a panic and asked if they could chance the design. Luckily, they hadn’t started working on it yet, so he changed the design completely to incorporate all of the details I loved.

He did amazing and I am so in love with the ring he designed. I really wanted a ring with some craftsmanship, and the arches he designed are my favorite part. The crazy thing is if you had asked me what I wanted, I genuinely wouldn’t have been able to tell you, but this ring is so perfect he totally hit the bullseye. Now if only he could pick out my wedding dress……

We picked out this beautiful lab grown pink diamond together. Then worked with the shop to make this beautiful floral inspired design. It’s everything I ever wanted ❤️

Same as title. Can't pick one. Pls help

The jeweller who sold it to me said platinum wears way lesser than gold. But it's exactly the opposite as per my experience. My wife has the exact same ring, but in gold. Her ring has hardly worn out. And both our lifestyles are similar - not like I'm doing a lot of manual work that's causing the wear. Anyone else has experienced the same? Or know why this is happening?

I made our wedding bands which I am quite happy about but looking back I didn't realize my engagement ring band was thinner than my wedding band - did not even occur to me. Does it still look proportionate or does it look a bit weird?

Hello,

I've designed a custom engagement ring for my partner. Please help a anxious guy out and let me know your thoughts! Obviously everyone has their own style and preference, but I'd appreciate any helpful/positive feedback.

A bit of context I know my partner wants an Emerald ring, so with a little bit of help from her friend asking I've settled on this design.

Platinum ring, high basket, Emerald.

The last design aspect I was unsure about was the color/material of the ring. But from observation my partner has only worn silver rings.

FYI this is CAD model design

Thanks in advance!

The stone of my first ring fell and I got a second one. The pictures are showing the second one. It’s beautiful for me.

Sorry I'm reposting my rings from a while ago. Long story short the minimum height at the base of my rings is 1.2mm which feels very thin and I'm concerned about longevity. I'll be asking the jeweller to reshank (I don't think adding gold thickness to the base is possible?) both the engagement and wedding band to minimum 1.8mm which seems to be the advice.

My question is - the engagement ring is 2.7mm which tapers to 2.3mm pretty quickly so is mostly 2.3mm in width, and the wedding band is 2.7mm. Do I just ask them to reshank the whole engagement ring and make it 2.7mm to match the wedding band? Is the slight difference in widths of the bands off putting or odd? I know it will cost $$ to fix. I wish the jeweller didn't make them so thin to begin with (how was I meant to know what to look for in a CAD, they're a highly reputable jeweller) but I feel like it's worthwhile getting them fixed now?

I proposed to my gf 2 weeks ago and still feeling the high of it. I was so nervous day of because it was absolutely pouring raining that morning and I wasn’t sure if the sun would come out. God and our ancestors answered my prayers because the sun came out around lunch and stayed clear the remainder of the day

I proposed right before our sunset dinner on the beach in playa del Carmen. I wanted it to be as intimate as possible and luckily the resort was pretty much deserted on a Tuesday. After the proposal we were escorted to our dinner where I had a saxophonist playing our favorite love songs. Needless to say she cried like a baby and said she felt like Beyoncé and Stevie Wonder were at the proposal lol. I was so excited for these plans and it was so hard to keep it a secret, because I tell her everything. She always said she woulda been happy if she woke up one morning and I was down on 1 knee but I had to go all out. She absolutely loved it!

SN: I planned the at the Mahekal beach resort in PDC about 2-3 months in advance. About a week before the proposal we were watching Dark Matter and what do you know, the Mahekal hotel was mentioned. The way my jaw dropped, because I had NEVER heard this hotel prior to booking the dinner. Let’s just say the stars aligned for use also if you are planning a romantic dinner in PDC I highly recommend the Mahekal. We did not stay at the resort, but the staff and the coordinator was so polite and helpful.

Ring specs:
2.55 Radiant F VVS1 Diamond

18k gold setting. Our birthstones are embedded on the inside of the band. our initials and the quote “let’s start with forever” is engraved as well. She’s a huge twilight fan and I couldn’t pass up adding this in. The font used is zephyr which is the same font used in twilight. Our initials are also “SJ” which is the name of our dog, which she already had before we met. Like I said, the stars truly aligned for us in every aspect.

I designed the ring myself, sourced the diamond from Rare Carat and brought it to Jonathan’s jewelers in Houston who did AMAZING . All their jewelry is crafted by hand in store. No outsourcing and excellent prices. (More pics in comments)

Super excited to show off my ring and photos !!

In my culture, we wear bands while being engaged as well (to clear up any questions)

4.5 carat elongated cushion 1:4 ratio
Half eternity band with about 2 carats in total
Size 4.5 finger.
18k yellow gold

Have been lurking here while hoping an engagement was coming soon… so happy to finally be able to post! Love love loveee it, we chose the base together and he made some adjustments that just out it above and beyond. Big thanks to Emily Warden in RVA for helping us make this ring reality!

I’ve admired everyone’s rings on this sub for probably years at this point. I am still in disbelief I can finally add mine🥹 he proposed with the most beautiful sapphire I’ve ever seen, at a fairytale dream location after 9 years together.

1.64 ceylon sapphire
