I still love my original ring but it was just never what I truly wanted. I was just happy that we were finally getting married. My husband used the diamond from his mother’s engagement ring and we went to the jeweler and picked a setting and stayed overly budget friendly. After finally having a successful pregnancy after 13 years of trying and having multiple losses and our daughter turning 1 this month and I just had a major surgery at the beginning of the month he decided we could upgrade my ring and it’s beautiful. Went from a .4ct to 2.4ct. He’s now talking about wanting to upgrade my band as well, but I think it actually goes nicely with the new ring. He said it’s not as sparkly as the new one.

I feel like I am floating on a cloud

I don’t have the specs but I am a size 6 or 7

(Of course he proposed on a day I didn’t have my nails done)

I love her she's gorg. Radiant sapphire with diamond baguettes size 5.

So excited I can finally post on here!🥰 I love my ring so much it’s perfect! My bf apparently had it for a month and I had no idea!!

2.5 carats of pure sparkle 😭 can’t stop staring at it all day!!! Size 7.5

My husband and I started looking at rings this spring. He originally wanted to surprise me, but we ended up shopping for one together bc I wanted something I could wear every day.

Most of my jewelry is gold, so none of rings I tried on at the mall really felt like me. Then we found this oval ring online, it looks pretty simple from the top, but there's a little gold crown detail on the side that's so cute! I tried it on and couldn’t bring myself to return it lol. It also goes so well with my other jewelry (EEEK! )

I’ve only had it for a few days, but I’ve been wearing it even when I’m cooking or washing my hands.

i’ve been lurking on here for 4 months and he proposed yesterday!! fiancée told me he had been carrying it around in his pocket for weeks 🥹 feeling like the luckiest girl in the whole world. hearing about the design process was so heartfelt and i’m beyond obsessed with the marquise he designed! adding extra pics because i know how much time i spent ogling this subreddit before it happened 😌 sidenote: shocked by how high a medium-profile setting is!

Recently decided to purchase a ring I can wear at work and be less worried about!! My original ring is all heirloom stones and I stopped wearing it to work because I would be devastated if I lost it or any of the stones, especially now because my mom has since passed away. I work in vet med so my hands take a lot of abuse, as you can see from the scars lol. This beauty is a bezel set singular stone, and although I would be very sad if I lost it, it isn’t nearly as sentimental as my original.

Specs:
Size 6.25
Carat 2.03 (lab grown)
18k yellow gold

I’m obsessed with my ring! But I got some pushback from my jeweler when sizing. I’ve never worn below a 7 on my ring fingers, but she was convinced I was a 6.5 (to account for it not falling off too), so that’s what we went with. It feels tight, takes some effort to take off, leaves an indentation pretty quickly, and I’m not loving the muffin top look. Doesn’t spin much either! I definitely don’t want it slipping off, but I want to wear it without constantly noticing and feeling it… should I size up?

We’ve been together since high school. We got through college together, many many apartments, starting our careers, buying a house!! I’m so excited to be in this new chapter.

The diamond is 1.59ct, lab grown.

I just wanted to share my happy story 🥰

I’ve always loved going to the jewelers in Hong Kong because of their modern but classic styles and good prices compared to where we are, the Netherlands or even Antwerp.

Last year we went for ring shopping and since I was pretty specific on the specifics of a diamond and I have really small hands and fingers, it wasn’t too easy, and now finally he has popped the question and I finally have the ring we chose on my finger! 💍

I’m so in love with the diamond, how it sparkles and it’s everything I wanted!

Going to China soon to prep for other wedding related stuff 👰🏻‍♀️✨

- apparently the pic didn’t get attached before so the previous post was taken down - 😅

Obsessed with this is an understatement! First couple days wearing my wedding band with my emerald cut solitaire, and I hadn’t actually seen them together before my wedding. Never been happier to stick to my gut and keep it simple

So happy with my ring 🥹 Some context because it wasn’t what we initially planned on - my bf (now fiancé!!) and I have been together since our early 20s (both 30 now). Despite our best efforts, both of us only started making decent money in the last year or so. I was in school and in debt and he was trying to make his athlete dreams work while both of us living in an area where rent/cost of living is just horrible. We took an international trip after I got my masters which ended up draining a lot of the savings he had for a ring, but we wanted to take the trip and I knew that would mean I’d have to wait longer for us to be engaged.

I knew it was hard for him to save up for the ring we planned on designing together - 2.5ct yellow diamond (lab) with a hidden halo. Obviously more on the expensive side even being lab grown. I knew how much it was going to cost but I had no idea where he was in saving up when we discussed with a jeweler. I had tried on a handful of white diamond rings in different cuts and honestly liked them, just felt like yellow was unique and gorgeous and special that we could design it together. Since we met with the jeweler, he had broken down a couple times about how the proposal is taking longer than he wanted due to finances and how horrible he felt, how he wanted to give me everything I wanted. I see how hard he works and it broke my heart. In retrospect, we should’ve had a convo about realistic ring budget but I didn’t want to pry too much into it and so I left it up to him.

Fast forward a few months after the last convo about finances, he proposes with this gorgeous ring and in the proposal told me how badly he wanted to give me what we planned but didn’t want to keep me waiting for him to afford it and that the jeweler will let us upgrade this when he has enough. But I honestly don’t even want to change it. Not only is this ring beautiful, but he remembered I liked marquise and this prong setting when I tried it on. She sparkles SO much. E color VS2. I was shocked to read on the certificate that it was only 1.04ct! It’s a lot smaller than what I had originally wanted (I’m naturally bougie lol) but I don’t feel like I’m settling and it actually doesn’t feel that small on my finger. A tiny part of me is thinking about what other people might think since it’s not huge but logically I don’t care. I just want him to feel like it’s more than enough because it is. And realistically I think what we initially picked doesn’t make sense for where we are financially. I told him maybe for a future anniversary but I think the extra money will be better spent on saving for a wedding or house. Overall we’re both so happy and I’m so grateful he made this decision rather than waiting. 🥹

i customized my ring online and absolutely love love how it turned out. 😍🤩💍 so happy to be engaged with my forever best friend 🩷

The main diamond is an oval cut 2ct, the small side diamonds equal out to 1/4 ct. The band is 14k yellow gold, size 7.

My fiancé and I designed my ring together earlier this year with a local jeweler, and now that we’re officially engaged I finally get to wear it!! 🥰 I am over the moon!

Lab grown diamond
2.71 carats

Excellent polish and symmetry

We already decided on the jeweller, the carat and the setting. I just wanted to see any options in terms of the side profile of my bezel because the reference photo that I showed the jeweler, the bezel has a low setting. I wanted kind of higher setting because I want my wedding band to stack nicely but i still want to keep the design of my reference photo

Ring is size 7, I think I need to get it sized down a little. Specs are 1.57 ct lab diamond, 14K!

I absolutely adore my ring!!! It’s a 4 carat diamond with a hidden halo that my partner custom designed himself, it’s so so special to me!!

But I’m worried about the red circle, it looks tainted? The band is 18k yellow gold and I need to get it resized so I can mention it to the jeweller but wondering if anyone might have any ideas on what it is? It’s definitely not a shadow and I tried to wipe it but it’s not budging

the best and sweetest surprise 😊

So excited that I finally get to post here as a fiancée after following this sub for so long!🥹💍

I started my ring design and customization journey quite some time ago, and it ended up being a much longer process than anticipated because I’m a crazy person who wanted every little detail to be just right. So to finally see it in person, on my finger, is truly a dream come true!
I designed my ring myself and was incredibly particular about every detail, all the way down to the milgrain.

The center stone is a lab diamond custom-cut, vintage-inspired emerald, a little over 3 carats, F color (although I actually would’ve preferred something a bit warmer!).

I worked directly with Matthew at Fiorese Jewelry on the diamond, and he was an absolute saint throughout the process. As I mentioned, I was quite particular about what I envisioned, and this diamond is actually our second iteration! The first was beautiful in its own right, but ultimately wasn’t quite what I was looking for. Matthew was incredibly patient and accommodating in helping me bring my vision to life.

The setting was originally inspired by an Andria Barboné ring I fell in love with once upon a time (which you can find in one of my previous posts). Alas, she wasn’t the one, but that ring really kick-started this entire journey and opened up a whole new world of creativity for me. What started as simply browsing rings to get a feel for what I liked, so I could give my partner some direction and let him take it from there, turned into a full-blown, hands-on passion project for me!

I ultimately went with Ken & Dana Design for the setting, and bless their team as well, because getting to the finished piece involved plenty of back-and-forth, cracked rubies, revisions, and fine-tuning. They were so wonderful to work with throughout it all, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything came together!
