Here's my engagement ring next to my wedding band! I don't know any details about the ring besides it being a classic yellow gold band with a square cut diamond in white gold claws. It was previously my husband's grandmother's wedding ring, so it's from the early 40's. I'm not really into jewelry in general, and the little I wear tend to be very minimalist, so I absolutely love the simplicity of this ring. The fact that it's a family heirloom makes it even more valuable to me.

Our wedding bands are made out of gold from my mother in law's jewelry collection (she had a bunch of rings she never wore), it was melted down and remade by my sister who is a goldsmith, so our wedding jewelry is really a product of our families! The price tag on this was also zero (I offered to pay my sis for making the rings, but she refused), which is a huge bonus for us.

Beautiful! So sentimental!!
 
The top one is the original that I got 31 years ago...the new one, I got at Christmas! We were married 30 years in February and thought it was time for an upgrade. Center stone is just over 2 karats and the ring is just over 3 total! Went trendy with rose gold! Looks good on my really white skin!

Both rings are Stunning! Congratulations :ghi5:
I got an e-ring upgrade recently too. Was meant to be for our 20th in 2017, but a just looking turned into a must have when we saw 'the ring' :cloud9:
I love my original ring, but it is nice to have something a bit more special too :love:
 
I love seeing your beautiful rings! This is my e-ring. We got engaged 3 years ago when we both still were students so now we have starting to look for an upgrade. But I will still carry this one, he draw this with our jeweller so it will always be special. [emoji171][emoji171][emoji5] View attachment 3398028

Oh I love this, looks so pretty.

It's extremely pretty :love:
My DH and I were students too when we got engaged, I had my heart set on a ring that we couldn't afford then. However, my DH promised that someday he'd get me an e-ring that I absolutely fell in love with at first sight. And he did this May :love:

What sort of upgrade are you thinking of?

Both are beautiful. I really like the stone in your original ring - it looks like a marquise cut but also has some other stones, right?
