I designed this ring before the new year and got proposed to while on vacation! I’m so happy to finally be able to wear it.

Center stone is 2.4 pink sapphire on a size 6.5 finger

For those wondering about bezels I personally love it especially for such a delicate stone shape. As someone who is super clumsy I couldn’t be happier with my choice!

This is such a wholesome subreddit and I've loved looking though all the happy posts. Now it's my time to share :))

- 4.59 ct teal Australian sapphire unheated (i love the silk)
- 18ct gold
- Locally made and engraved

My fiancé and I designed it together and i couldn't be more happy with the outcome.

P.S I should have cleaned the crown before taking these photos so pls ignore the smudgy look

After 5+ years of dating my best friend, he finally asked me to marry him 💕 It’s been 2 weeks of pure bliss after being in the trenches of engagement purgatory hahaha. For reference, this is a 2.5ct oval and I am a size 5.5. The tulip basket is easily my favorite detail, and I just love that it is bezel set so I can wear it without worry! He did the whole design process on his own, granted I had sent him a PowerPoint of what I wanted (along with probably too many nudges😅) and he fully delivered!!!

I wanted to share my rings, I love them so much!! Custom made from my fiancé’s aunt!! The engagement band is his grandmothers, she sourced the diamond a 1.3ct round solitaire. The wedding band is from his great great grandmothers broche, she reused the gold and diamonds ✨🥰

I posted here the other day asking for help deciding between an elongated old mine and a modern cushion. I had the opportunity to look at a few more stones today, and this natural 3.51 ct H VS2 (1.30 L/
W) totally surprised me! It's a modern brilliant but without the crushed ice look. I found the depth and light performance absolutely mesmerizing 😍

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Does anything stand out to those of you who know cushions well?

I’ve been lurking in this sub forever and admiring allll of your pretty rings- so so excited to finally be able to post my own! I am absolutely in love! He knew I needed some color and adore heirloom rings, he did so well!

Editing to add: Ring size 5.5, not sure about many of the specs due to it being a passed down heirloom, about circa 1950’s.

Hi everyone! I recently got engaged and would love some advice on a wedding band! 🤍

My engagement ring is a toi et moi with marquise and a pear cut diamonds on a platinum pavé band.

I'm going for a timeless, elegant look and can't decide between a curved band, pave band, plain band, or something else. What would you pair with this ring?

I haven’t tried any on and am just trying to gather ideas before we go to the jeweler. Photos or suggestions are appreciated!

My fiancé and I shopped for rings together. I wanted a tulip basket and pink sapphires, so we ordered a semi-custom Montreal ring from Bijou Lab. I’m obsessed with it!

Specs:
Ring size: 6
Band: 14k yellow gold
Center stone: 10x7mm moissanite set in platinum
Side stones: pastel pink lab sapphires

I’ve been married 10 years and have been eyeing some fantasy cut rings as a little 10 year anniversary present!! We found this one from Anueva Jewelry - they set it in white gold with a yellow gold band (I love mixed metals). The center stone is a 1.4 carat Montana sapphire. It reminds me of winter and snowflakes and stars haha.

If anyone is looking for a sapphire ring (or diamond!), they were lovely to work with!! The ring is even better in person than we imagined!

ETA: size 5.5 finger :)

Originally wanted lab (still love lab diamonds!) but happened to fall in love with this small, natural antique ring we found at an antique jewelry store in Boston. Also got the band with it, so it’s an engagement ring and an engagement band :) I knew I wanted some color so there’s a pop of blue with the sapphires.

What do y’all think? Any ideas for good wedding bands that could go with this set?

i got engaged a month ago to my lover and it still feels unreal! and sometimes it still feels like nothing has changed. it took a while to adjust to having a ring on my finger but i love it so much! it's not super crazy sparkly, which i love, it's more refractive and glints in the light instead! its so pretty and i think its fairly unique? which was important to me :3 but anyways!!! my girlfriend ( now my fianceé ! ) said she knew this was the one from the very beginning and i'm glad i let her have the reins. we will both be upgrading our rings later on, but for now i'm so happy

My amazing fiancé got this ring from my mom, who has worn it on her right hand for the last 11 years after my grandma handed it to her off of her ring finger on her death bed right before she passed. My grandma was married in 1956, so this ring is circa 1950’s. She was married almost 60 years. It feels so special that it will be on my finger until I pass it down to my future daughter or DIL. ❤️ size 6, not sure of karat size, but it’s perfect for me.

EDIT: I just cleaned it and wow. Been engaged for a month and didn’t realize how cloudy it was. Just know it’s even better when it’s not covered in hair mousse and conditioner. LOL.
