While I personally am nowhere close to being engaged, I must say that this is my favorite thread on this forum. Everyones’ rings are SOOO breathtakingly beautiful and have the most wonderful and unique stories to go along with them. It’s really fun to see all the different personal styles that correspond with your e-rings and sets. Wishing everyone who is engaged/married on here a long and happy life with your spouses!

Well, I’ve been married 26 years. The original ring was a princess 3 stone with 2.0 center stone, all D color. I still have it and sometimes wear it when traveling. For the 20 yr anniversary received a large over 4.5 emerald cut, D color but just couldn’t get used to the lack of sparkle. It was a little wide in dimension also and I couldn’t wear a band with it. It looked a little fat. For the 25th anniversary we upgraded to this ring...much better sparkle, much better quality stone even though it’s smaller. I love it!

So excited to finally share my new ring!

My original engagement ring is an antique filigree ring from the 1920s, 18K white gold with a 1 ct. ruby. Although I love that ring, and of course still have it, the filigree just couldn't take the everyday wear and tear. After having the band built up twice, and feeling nervous wearing it, I retired that ring for everyday, and wear it occasionally.

Enter the next ring, which was a Costco halo ring, with a .75 emerald cut center, with a double halo set in platinum. This was my ring for several years.....yes, it was very nice, but there was nothing sentimental or special about it. Both DH and I felt that we would eventually replace this ring with something custom and more my style. I'm keeping this ring to wear to events where I might not want to wear my new ring (due to area, type of event, etc.).

So onto today's reveal, which is my new baby, and I LOVE her!!! My DH wanted to complete a new ring for our 23rd anniversary, so I started looking extensively. I wanted to do a custom ring, and knew I wanted an emerald cut. I have done quite a bit of research over the past few years, and finally felt ready to take the plunge. It was huge bonus that Brian Gavin (hello, legendary cutter!) had recently introduced his line of BGD Signature Emerald cuts. I knew that if the diamond met Brian Gavin's standards, I'd get the sparkle and ideal cut I was looking for. I chose one of his 810 platinum settings, customized to my specs and the emerald cut diamond I wanted. After about 5 weeks, the ring finally arrived this morning, and I'm so pleased. If you are considering an e-ring, I wouldn't trust anyone but Brian Gavin and his team! They were flawless from start to finish, and I appreciate the level of detail. Brian wasn't happy with the first version of my custom ring, so he remade the ring completely a second time before it was sent to me.

Custom platinum setting with BGD Signature Hearts & Arrows melee, with BGD Signature Emerald Cut center stone of 1.9 cts., color H, clarity VVS2, completely eyeclean, AGS Ideal light performance and cut rating. Thanks for letting me share! I've loved looking through this thread at all of your sparklers. [emoji173]️

So interesting! It has a vintage feel about it to me for some reason. Very pretty!
