I love the smaller solitaires! Sometimes less is more. I'm seeing that small rings are VERY popular right now, with paper thin bands and small stones. I think they look delicate and classy.
This is my engagement ring that I was given in 2000. We didn't have much money, and this was from Kay Jewelers for maybe $200 which was a super stretch for us at the time. Hubby surprised me with it. It's 14k white gold with 5 tiny princess cut diamonds. It was supposed to be a "temporary" ring, but I loved it SO much that I wore it for about 15 years!!! I just recently got a new platinum set at an estate sale that has a 1/2 ct center round with some small diamonds in the setting, and an eternity band, both from the 1940s. The center diamond in the engagement ring is an "old mine cut" from the gold rush era. Not the best quality, but it looks really nice in the platinum. I think it's special, and if we love it, that's what's important

Mine is half a carat solitaire too in 18k gold. Its not as big as the rings here but I love it! Its second hand too. Some people laughed at me for buying a ring off kijiji but I didnt care! I love that my husband bought it for me. I like it too that he save a lot of money this way rather than spending a lot from a chain store. The previous owner bought this ring for 3400 thenwe bought it from her way way less than that. I almost bought a brand new ring which was the same half carat but in 14 k gold for 1650 but I returned it because i like this old ring better which has more gold, better quality and cheaper price, thats a very good deal! Who cares what they think as long as you like it right?
I love pawn shops too. My first ring from my husband was bought from one too. Wow yours even looks so expensive. Id be proud wearing that too lol!
I agree - ALL beautiful! It’s all relative. There are a million people who would love to have a quarter ct diamond, and who cares if they’re previously owned. Who made up the “rules” anyway? Wear what you LOVE, and love what you wear. Personally, I wear a $19 fake topaz and cz ring (from a casino kiosk shop) with my Rolex, and get compliments on that ring all the time - more than my diamond ring LOL! I think when people start worrying less about what others think, the happier we will all be 
Mine is not a diamond (it's a moissanite) but it's under 1ct! I've been wearing this 0.66ct moissy for almost 8 years and still love it.

Hello Here is my 18ct gold, platinum and old European cut Edwardian trilogy ring, dated 1911. It is .35 total carat weight, and is a size UK S / US 9. It is incredibly difficult to photograph because the diamonds look astonishing under low lighting - which isn't so great for photos!
It was a antique market find which my partner bought for me and I love it (and him!) dearly

Love moissy. I have a moissy eternity band and a 1 ct equiv solitaire in forever brilliant category. Sad thing is after my pregnancy my rings does not fit.Mine is not a diamond (it's a moissanite) but it's under 1ct! I've been wearing this 0.66ct moissy for almost 8 years and still love it.
I have a 1 carat D color round. I am thinking of getting a new setting for it, or getting a match for earrings. This thread has given me ideas for settings.
Question:
What would you do with this diamond? I would wear it on my middle finger if I do reset it.
I do like the solitaire look, but wondering if it looks too much like a wedding ring. I also have .25 ct D stones (two) that are for the second hole in my ear. I don’t wear them anymore, but thinking of adding to the ring. Or should I sell them as earrings? So many choices, lol!

so pretty! lucky you
My princess cut diamond my husband bought me when I was 22. It’s more modest now that I’m older but when I was younger this ring was flashy! [emoji7]

it doesn't look modest at all! I love it!
Thanks! I also wear it everyday and never take it off. Like ever. I wear it while doing dishes, cleaning, showering, sleeping, etc. The poor baby has never been rhodium plated either and it’s probably been 8 yrs since it’s be professionally polished. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
