My engagement ring solo and with my wedding band. I got engaged in 2013 and I'm getting married next May. This ring was my "upgrade" ring. When my fiancé and I got engaged we were 19 and got a ring from overstock set in silver. A bunch of the small diamonds fell out and the main diamond cracked. I didn't really have an engagement ring for a while, so my grandmother gave me her grandmother's engagement ring.
I believe it's about half a carat and an old miners cut. It's platinum and has sapphire and diamond accents around the main diamond. It's also about 120 years old!
Everyone's rings are so beautiful! Thanks for letting me share!

Wow - how special and how stunning! I also love old miners cuts, they're so beautiful.

What a classic stunner!! May I ask what your finger size is and what the ring specs are?

Thank you! I told him a solitaire and he came through. My finger is a 4, the ring is a 5 to accommodate my larger knuckles! Embarrassingly, I do not know the exact specs aside from 2.52 carats, set in platinum. Based on our single shopping trip prior to the engagement, I would guess it's in the spectrum of a G/H VS2/SI1. We looked at a I/SI2 just for size purposes and then later he said that this one was "a few steps up." I've never pressed him for many details other than enjoying his story of working with the jeweler in the New York diamond district to select the stone and create the ring. He was -- rightfully so -- quite proud of himself!

This is the most perfect engagement ring I've seen in a long time. It has such class. Congratulations on your gorgeous ring and your engagement.

Thank you so much! I wanted clean and timeless.

I realize now those are not the greatest photographs, I'll have to take some better ones but I was in a hurry to participate :smile:
 
I love looking at rings! Here's mine, I got upgraded around our 10th anniversary, we just had our 17th.
The center diamond was my husband's grandmother's and we had it placed in a new setting.
It's beyond my wildest dreams at 2.25 carats for the center, 4 carats total. Quite a leap from my original ring from when we were 22.
