Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
I am getting engagement in the near future and my BF- soon to be fiance!- is letting me choose my ring! I can't decide what I want!!!
I was wondering what your ring looks like! If you love it now as much as the day it was placed on your finger?? If you could choose the ring of your dreams, what would you choose?? PLEASE post pics if possible!!

Re: Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
I don't have one of my own, but I design and sell many. Emerald cuts and rounds are probably the most popular of the ones I've made. A couple months ago I made this breathtaking ring with a 5 carat emerald cut.
The "halo" or microset style is very popular and I've done some beautiful variants of it with pink gold & pink diamonds surrounding the stone. |

Re: Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
Here is what a halo/microset style is, though this one is done with yellow diamonds.

Re: Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
While he and I never made it down the aisle, I still love my ring. A very simple, classic princess cut diamond set in platinum. Hmmm. Maybe I should get rid of it and buy a nice bag...

I wasn't into diamonds or jewelry, but he still did a good job! He surprised me with a round brillant Tiffany's ring on platinum. As for my wedding band I wanted something different so I got the Michael B. lace and eternity band. It's the top band, in middle of the page.

Re: Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
Does anyone have experience with buying antique rings? or having replicas made?
If I explain to a jewelry maker what I want, will it come out the way I envision it?? |

Re: Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
Mine is a marquis shaped almost 2 carats. It's set in the middle of a gold anniversary band with 4 diamonds on either side. My wedding band is identical but has the extra diamond in the middle.
I absolutely adore my set! The bands are "thin" and really show off the diamond. Plus, I have large hands (at least I think so!  ) and the rings are very flattering to my hand.My hubby picked it out! I told him all I wanted was a marquis shaped diamond and at least 1 carat. He did pretty good!

Re: Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
I love my ring! It is an antique ring from the early 1900s. My stone is round, but the setting is square. I know that sounds weird, but it looks amazing.

Re: Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
Mine is a pear shaped diamond -3/4 of a carat (we couldn't afford a whole carat when we got engaged and I would rather have a smaller, yet, better quality stone). it is set in a simple wide-ish gold band (just had it re-set last year)

Re: Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
Mine is a 4.82 oval-cut Iolite (dark blueish-purple) in a six-prong gold setting. It is stunning!! (I'll post a pic later) My husband and I picked out the stone, and a jeweler friend of ours made the ring. I LOVE it! I wear it when I know I won't be doing anything rough with my hands, so I don't damage the facets of the stone.

Re: Engagement Rings- What does yours look like?
- Look at magazines for a style you like. Magazines like In-style and Town & Country have wedding issues. They usually have lots of rings shown. If you want something made, you will be much happier if the jeweler has a photo to go by. - Antique stores usually have a jewelry selection and you may get lucky. - Sometimes a regular jewlery store may have an estate jewlery section. Good luck!
