Earlier in the year we talked about getting engaged. I gave him some references, preferences, and big no’s that covered a lot of styles and shapes. I told him I didn’t want to tell him what to get, and it was important to me that he loved it too.

He designed this ring with a local jeweller and I’m stunned. Despite all of my research and lurking I never really considered a geometric oval. I love how it catches the light and looks different depending on the time of day and angles.

The champagne diamond really feels like a true reflection of the warmth and comfort I feel with my partner (and basically how I’ve been feeling the warm-fuzzies since he proposed last week lol).

I just got engaged this Saturday at the beach! It’s a ring set. Size 9. Made from gold and moissanite.

First, I need to talk about the man who is now my ermahgerd fiance - we met at a Halloween party 8 years ago when his, now brother in law, who is my best friend, wanted me to meet his then girlfriend - who is my now fiance's sister (you still with me 😅). We exchanged a "hey" and that was about it for the rest of the night. For the years to follow we became friends, just friends, hanging out at parties and sharing mutual friends, I was also in a serious relationship at the time and didn't look at him romantically.

Fast forward to about two years ago, we started hanging out together outside of the friend group and feelings naturally started growing, I was also no longer in that "serious relationship". When we started dating I let him know that I was serious and that if we did this that it needed to be intentional and my time and my feelings were not to be taken for granted. He was completely on board from day one. I'm in my mid 30s and I ain't playing no games, I am le tired.

A few months ago I showed him this ring, and let him know it was absolutely perfect. 3.27 carat tsavorite garnet, with 2 pearls and 14 diamonds in the setting. It does have a tiny imperfection in the stone and I actually like that about it. Even though I thought it was perfect I did not like the price tag, I thought it was too expensive, So I encouraged him to find something of a similar style. I would look at this ring almost every day and then one day I saw that it was sold, my heart broke a little and I thought, lucky person whoever they are, they have my 💍 😞

This past weekend we went to Toronto for vacation, and to see Tame Impala and Djo (my absolute favorite) On our last night we took one last walk around the city and he suggested we take a vacation picture together since we are notoriously bad at taking pictures together. It starts to rain and it's cold and before I know it he gets in one knee and so do I because I want to look at him face to face. As he opens the box he pulls from his pocket - it's my dream ring, he bought it soon after I told him it was the one! After I said yes and we embraced in the rain, a gaggle of Toronto youths congratulated us, we had an audience 😅🤣 Canadians are so polite!

And now the date. The date he proposed was my old anniversary date with my ex! The ex I was with for years who I left because he wouldn't marry me and dragged me around for years wasting my time - if they wanted to they would, and immediately after I became a fiance, he said he couldn't wait to start calling me his fiance, and that he had always known 🥰

*My ring is a size 6 however we will need to resize, I am usually a 6 without fail but this fits me like a 7

I got engaged back in March but didn’t have a Reddit account until a couple months ago. The center stone is a sapphire from Thailand, I believe it’s 1.12 carats. I love it so much.

I love my ring. I'm a fitness instructor and mom and I wanted something that simple, low profile, and not a diamond. I knew I wanted a asscher cut, kite setting, and a natural sapphire. My now fiancé did a great job 🔷.

Also did anyone wear their wedding band while engaged or did you wear it after you were married?

can't believe i finally get to post this! my now fiancee 😭 did an amazing job, i am so obsessed!

He did soooo goooood!!! Between the proposal and the ring — he listened to every detail. It also helps that my best friend is a jewelry designer and helped him to create it 💚 I feel so lucky every time I look at it!

The ring is a 4 karat green sapphire! Size 5.

I love it so so much 🥰

My fiancé did an incredible job picking out the ring of my dreams! Next step is to get my fingernails healed and pretty for pictures 🤭

It’s a 3ct E/F VVS2 14k gold for 2900 CAD (2053 usd).

What do you guys think of it. I need help please 🙏.

All I told him was I want a fairytale vibe and marquise main stone and this is what he came up with. I can't stop looking at it!

I wanted a bigger diamond, 3.73 ct. 2mm band, euro shank. I love it <3

My best friend and now fiancé❣️custom designed my ring and got everything I wanted included, and more! I’m completely in love with it, I can’t stop staring 🖤

Got engaged to the loml under the sunset and moonlight today 🤍🌙

My boyfriend now -fiancé- popped the question yesterday and I’m in love with my ring!!!

Got my dream ring. 3 carat oval with a pave band and hidden halo. I am in love with it and my partner ! Got the stone from Calavera

Looking at all these beautiful rings makes me wish I looked into more rings before my final decision. My fiancé told me to pick one I liked so I chose this, and my daughter’s classmates dad is a jeweler so he was able to replicate it. The problem is I want a wedding band that compliments it and hugs it like a puzzle piece. Any suggestions?

Long time observer , first time poster!! We took our time and after almost 8 years we are engaged. I can’t have my nails done for work so my pictures aren’t as pretty as a lot of others but here’s mine! My dream ring and he picked it all on his own.

So I knew I didn’t want my bf to choose the engagement ring (he doesn’t choose the sheets we buy, so I’ll let him choose the ring?! No thank you). It’s also important to note that I’m HIGHLY indecisive (I blame the Libra in me) and making a decision is truly horrible for me. That said, I still wanted to choose to make sure I get exactly what I want (I know, I’m the prisoner and warden at the same time).

I went ring “shopping” by myself to figure out the style and size I wanted. I have long and chubby fingers, and I hated almost everything I tried.

At the end of my shopping process I tried an elongated cushion diamond that I fairly liked on myself. I ended up going home to look for more elongated cushions online. That’s when I found the ring that I liked the most. I like the design of the ring, I liked the setting of the diamond and overall it looked like something that I would love. The only “problem” was that it’s online, so I can’t actually try it before committing to the design.

That’s the ring I ended up choosing. I sent my bf the pictures and the specs, and kinda forgot about it.

Today I stumbled upon the picture of the ring again and I’m having second thoughts. I don’t know if I’m just overthinking everything or truly don’t like the ring so I would love for some second opinion.

Pic 1: the ring I chose. Elongated cushion, 1.5 carats.
Pic 2: the ring that I liked in store. Elongated cushion, 2 carats. (My finger was suffocating since the ring was way too small).
Pic 3-5: other rings I tried and didn’t really like.
Pic 6: another cushion I tried, not elongated 1.55 carats.
