ENGAGEMENT RINGS! What does yours look like?

[lenie]

Excuse my nails and swollen fingers, but I got back the princess cut today and it didn't flatter my finger! The emerald isn't sized properly, but what do you all think?

I vote for the emerald cut. It's stunning!

On your hand I think the emerald shape is slightly more flattering. They are both lovely rimgs and it's just a matter of what you feel you prefer.

I also have a princess cut similar to that but I do love the emerald cut better on you. Imo

I got mine back in 2009 but as the years go by I find myself loving the emerald cuts. What are the specifics of both the emerald and the princess?

Yes the princess cut with the halo was beautiful and sparkly, but I don't think it flattered my hands.

Do you have a finger shot of your princess cut? I am still torn! I love the emerald cut shape on me, but it lacks the brilliance which the princess cut gives. Can I just keep both! :-P

One thing I found after having a a halo'd round for the past 5 years, is that I am actually a solitaire kind of girl. Halos only really look good on me if there is tons of finger coverage (like a halo with sidestones). But a solitaire looks nice on its own and is easily blinged up with eternities or 5 stone rings or other stacking options.

Going a solitaire route in a simple setting would also potentially let you divert some cash to a larger stone.

Also, you'd really do good to make sure you get an ASET image of fancy cuts if you are looking at them to check light performance. They are trickier to pick ones with good performance. You can't go by the number with them.

I think the Emerald cut suits your finger best. I like how it has more finger coverage on you than the princess cut. However, both are beautiful rings and you can't go wrong with either one. Good luck choosing!

I love the emerald cut. One of my erings is an emerald and it's just my favorite. I just love the big flashes of light it catches. I adore the halo on the emerald too, it's gorgeous and way more flattering to your finger [emoji4]

I agree with you on halos. I love them but they look better on everyone else but me. Solitaires are just so simple and classic. The simplicity of them, makes them so beautiful.

I upgraded my ring recently. Here she is!

Can you advise how many ctws the eternity band against your ering is? I just love the way this entire look came together. Have never been a fan of halo rings until now.

Thanks. lLove the halo, still couldn't help myself but stare at them all together, lol. The eternity is 2.5ctw, the 5 stone is 3ctw. the center of halo is my old 2.10ct or 2.03ct.

I want to share my stack again. If you guys don't mind. Thanks
