Just got engaged and shared this pic on the engagement rings thread before I noticed this one! It's a .31 d colour round solitaire with 18 micro set diamonds in a halo. It's set in platinum. As previous posters have said, it's definitely quality over size and the halo really gives it some extra sparkle and size. Can't stop staring at it!

Very very very pretty. I love smaller diamonds personally. Suits our budget and our lifestyle :D
 
Here is my .80 carat engagement ring paired with my birthday present to myself this year. The Tiffany Etoile platinum band.

I've had my lovely ring now for 6 months, and I still love it so much. Look at it constantly, its so sparkly :D Thought I'd share another pic.

Tiffany Harmony setting, 0.38ct, G, VS2. Love it love it love it :love:
Very pretty! I would rather have a small quality stone than a dull hunk of large junk. I have seen size be preferred over quality and it is not pretty.

Thank you for your lovely comment. I looked around locally before deciding on my ring and we looked at 3 loose diamonds all around the 1 carat mark, which would've cost just a little bit more than mine once set in a ring but none of them had the sparkle I was after and I just knew I wouldn't be happy in the long run. I've had mine now for just over 6 months and I still stare at it all time and it still sparkles like mad. A woman I work with as a 1 carat ring that is quite dull, no sparkle. Can't see the point!

Your rings are lovely too :D

Thanks. The diamond is my birthstone. :D
 
I got my push present today bub is now 6 months and growing fast! Ideally I would have loved a 1.5 carat solitaire but I figure to me it reminds me of an engagement ring . Plus as we are saving for a house deposit didn't want to go too crazy! It was $3500 aud. I went for a three diamond stone ring yellow gold with a touch of white gold . It's 1 carat with the three stones. As soon as I tried it on I new it was the one. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1399214630.781177.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1399214643.740430.jpg
 
I really enjoy the photos in here :) I'll share mine although technically only the studs are diamonds. I found out recently from my jeweler that the ring I got from my grandmother isn't actually a diamond. I don't know what it is. It doesn't make much difference to me since I'll cherish a gift from grandma no matter what. And even now that I know, I still can't distinguish any major difference between it and my 1 cttw studs. For reference the studs are G, I2 and 1cttw.

holy batman giant pictures...sorry!
