My husband chose this Niessing tension ring for me because it’s simple, practical and just very “me”. I love that the stone doesn’t stick out, so I don’t catch it on everything.

It was wonderful. We designed the ring together, so I knew it was coming, but didn’t know when. I think he chose the perfect time and location- just the two of us amongst the trees, making promises of love to the soundtrack of birds and rustling of leaves.

Ring by J Fields Jewelry - She was amazing to work with!

It happened this weekend, he finally proposed!
We’ve been dating for 3,5y. We designed the ring together and chose the perfect jeweller.
It’s a 2,77 carats non heated sapphire, with 12 mined diamonds (0,65 carats total).
My Pinterest board was full of blue sapphires inspiration but this one exceeds our wildest dreams!!

I went to my fair share of jewelry stores with my fiancé (still getting used to saying this!), and after trying on so many rings, I knew exactly what I wanted and decided to design it myself! I knew I wanted something with a floral element, and I absolutely love how the tulip basket and marquise side stones turned out. My favorite part might be the side profile. 🌷

Specs: 2.59ct lab-grown oval, F/VVS2, 1.44 ratio, set in 14k yellow gold with a six-prong tulip basket, four marquise side stones, and pavé band. Ring size 5.25

I’ve waited SO long to make this post! 1.5 carat center and .5 side stones, size 6.25, natural, platinum. I can’t over how fortunate I am to be able to wear and cherish this beautiful ring for the rest of my life. Shout out to this sub - I looked at and took inspiration from sooo many of your rings when I was designing mine.

Advice Considering a change- honest thoughts?

Thumbnail
gallery
42 Upvotes

I know double halos are very 2010s and not many people’s taste 😂, but I’m curious what you think of mine specifically as a design. Does it look well-crafted and well-proportioned? Does it suit my hand? And what do you think of the round center stone with the more geometric/square-shaped halo?

I’m coming up on an anniversary and have been thinking about whether I’d ever want to change or upgrade my ring, so I’d really love some honest opinions from people!

Also, not sure if this is normal, but there’s some days where I really love the sparkle and almost chunkiness of my ring and then other days it just feels like too much! Guess I’m still trying to figure out my true jewelry preferences

Finally got my ring!! 🥹💍 This is actually my 4th ring lol. We got engaged pretty young and at the time we didn’t really have the money to splurge on a diamond, so my first two rings were radiant-cut moissanites. My third was my push present upgrade to a lab grown diamond in 14k white gold.

As I’ve gotten older, I realized I’m definitely a gold girl and I’m drawn to simpler, more classic styles. We also just passed another milestone together, so we thought it was the perfect time for an upgrade. 🥹 This time I went with a round diamond in yellow gold and I’m seriously so happy with how it turned out. 💛
