Love seeing some other pears @lilpep @lyndausvi ! You don't see them too often and that's why I wanted one

Not sure how well you can see this pic. NO idea what I'm getting for a wedding band yet since nothing seems to look quite right with my twisty band.

Funny story.

DH asked me one day what kind of diamond cuts I like.   I said anything but marquis and pear.  I HATE those cuts.The main reason is most settings tend to sit up high and the point can catch on things.   

DH says "oh, my mom wants to give us her pear shaped diamond"

I felt so bad.   Being the practical person I am thought it would be ridiculous to give up a nice diamond.     I spent HOURS and HOURS looking for a setting that would work.   At the time I was working on a sail boat. I wanted a setting I could wear everyday.  So it could not sit up high or catch on things.  It was not an easy feat.  

Finally I saw a setting that could work with some tweaking. We took it down to the one-legged custom jeweler.   Seriously the man looked like he was out of a pirate movie.  Even lived on a boat.    Together we came up with the setting.   It worked great.  The profile is very low.  Doesn't catch on anything.  

I actually didn't want a super high setting for that same reason. I mean I work at a desk, but I am just clumsy as hell. Like you said, because of the shape it is raised up a bit, but it's really not bothersome to me. FI was really concerned about it and asked if I wanted to exchange it, but after wearing it a bit I realized it wasn't at all a problem. 

I'm glad you were able to make his mom's work! That's really special.

My ring has a really high setting. I love my ring, but I hate that the stone snags on stuff at the most inopportune times (like when I'm grabbing a package of meat at the grocery store and it accidentally punctures the pack underneath). I'm really impressed with how low profile your setting is, lynda!

I love my e-ring! The e-ring is white gold, while my wedding band is rose gold.

Wow! That really is impressive! I end up with problems like @cookiepusher because mine has a cathedral setting. I love it, but I get it caught in pretty much everything.

Here's mine. I didn't really know what I liked, but I love what FI picked out. It's very my style. I'm not wearing my wedding band yet, but it's the same as the e-ring, just without the diamond.

I did a rose gold wedding band with my white gold ering too!

For a bit I was obsessed with Victorian mourning jewelry and hoped I would get a mourning ring as an engagement ring.

Not the teeth ones though. I don't want teeth jewelry.

princessbuttercup09

Here's mine! It's an oval stone with a halo. I've got chunky fingers and thought the longer shape would make them look thinner. Haha.

I've posted mine before, but here it is! (Please ignore the dry skin lol I took this a couple hours after we got engaged)

Dude I laughed so hard. No teeth jewelry please!

The first one is my engagement ring on its own and the second one is our wedding bands and my engagement ring. I love my rings!

On my hand, and then with both of our bands. I'm in love with my ring--H designed it perfectly.

julieanne912

Here's mine.  FI had it picked out and designed about 3 months before he gave it to me.  I'm a bit perplexed as to what kind of band to do with it since there's little diamonds on those side "x" areas too. 

And yes, I took the 2nd photo at Costco.  Diamonds look so pretty under the lights there and at the hockey arena haha!

Mine is an oval cut with a channel setting.

Engagement ring and all the rings.

I want to play too!

Dude. Climbing. That opal. It is astounding!
Magic you and your wifeys rings are awesome. Who wouldn't be obsessed with that?
Chibuyi I love how unique your ring is. You must be proud to wear it and show it off!

I love that everyone says they LOVE their ring. And they are all so different. That feeling where it just amazes you and it makes you feel over the moon. Why wouldn't our SOs want to make us feel that way?

Almost 3 years later and I still get giddy looking at it and I smile and tell him all the time what a great job he did - he just knew me!

My one and only

You all have such gorgeous rings! I wanted something very classic, and love what we picked out. The setting is a bit high, as the center stone sits above two surprise diamonds, and I bang it on things a lot, but I am still getting used to it and wouldn't trade it for the world. 

I'm sorry the picture is so big; I can't seem to make it any smaller. 

hellosweetie1015

Mine. I don't have any better pictures of it that really show the detail of it but under the center bit there's a little secret heart. I love everything about mine.

redheadbride15

Mine's a 3-stone, cushion cuts. I don't see many of these around and I love it!

buttercup1958

Not engaged yet but these are my dream rings.

cupcait927

@buttercup1958 that first ring is so pretty!

littlepep

Man I am embarrassed by my nails. Y'all's nails all look so good! I always end up chipping my nails day one and then never repaint them. 

peachy13

Here is mine! I've been wearing it for a year and half at this point. Going to the jewelers this weekend for a cleaning and my FI and I are buying our bands too. Can't wait!

luckya23

This is my set - it's a blue diamond, so with the dark color and large table, I have to clean it A LOT because it shows fingerprints.  I use the Connoisseurs cleaner in the red jar, and I have a Dazzle Stik for quick cleanings. I also end up wiping it with my microfiber glasses cloth multiple times a day.

I put an ultra sonic cleaner on my registry though, so I hope I get it!

I've been shopping for wedding bands recently, so I will sometimes just ask the store to clean it for me too.

As a wedding set, but:

It's one diamond as just an engagement ring. The band sort of hooks on both sides and puts the side diamonds on there.
