AW Your Sparky!!!

calindi

Goldlie asked me to AW my ring since she hasn't seen it, and I don't wanna be the only one AWing my sparkly.... bring 'em out!  It's been awhile, and I never get sick of seeing the bling!

If you don't have a ring yet, what's your dream (realistic) ring?  I wanna see all the different styles and tastes everyone has!!!

Mine is a 1.37 carat round diamond (my great-grandma's) set in a square halo on a delicate criss-cross band by S. Kashi.  The micro-diamonds go around the halo and down the criss-cross to the side of my finger.  On each side of the diamond, there's a small delicate cross of metal with a small round diamond on each side.  Very feminine and delicate - I hear the word "dainty" a lot!  Which I like because that size diamond could easily feel gaudy (at least with my minimalist jewelry style).

I go back and forth about what I want all the time. I don't wear jewelry so I think I'd prefer something a little more simple. I go between wanting moissaite or a sapphire as well. But right now I think both of these rings are really pretty (and realistic).

Yay!  Calindi I'm so happy for you.  I'll AW mine.  It's a .8 carat Tiffany style solitaire.  P.S.  please send me to the link where you originally introduced your sparkly.

I'm not engaged yet, but my dream engagement ring has yellow gold and rubies. 

Calindi- Your rock is huge! But I still love that ring!

Thank you so much! The ring is a 6.5. Did you see my dress post last week? I am so in love with my dress! It's in my bio if you missed the post and wanna see.

I didn't see the post about your dress.  I LOVE IT (yes the caps were necessary).  I'm so excited for your wedding!

calindi

LOL.  Don't remind me :)

lavenderfields13

this is the ring I'm obsessed with right now, a yellow sapphire

lavenderfields13

Liv that's under $1000?? How big is the center stone if you don't mind me asking? Is moissanite typically that inexpensive?

lilphillips14

I really want one like my mom's ring(s). My dad designed a bridal set for her. Yellow gold, marquise diamond in the middle with diamonds along the setting. It's hard for me to describe, but when my boyfriend and I went ring shopping/looking last week, I saw one I really liked.

OR

I'm not usually a fan of white gold, but when we were shopping/looking for ideas, I saw this really amazing ring that caught my eye. 

Honestly, I'll be happy with whatever he presents me with and whenever he does it, but if I had my choice, those would be my top two.

ETA: I'm a big fan of bridal sets. I find them really practical and I just love the way they fit together so perfectly.

calindi

I already had the diamond, but the setting cost under $900.  That made me very happy!

Hi everyone! I'm new here but couldn't help but get in on this conversation!

My dream ring has a vintage/Edwardian look with a blue sapphire centre stone. I do love the east-west oval look but the regular oval is lovely, too. All of the photos on here are lovely. Beautiful bling, ladies!

SeaTea02

Liv that is a moissanite though, right? I have seen it on moissaniteco.com it is very similar to my own from there 

alanna91

Wow girls, those are some beautiful rings!

I'm NEY, so I have no e-ring to AW. However, if I were to pick my own ring it would be an opal surrounded by diamonds and two topaz on the side. I can't post a picture because I haven't seen anything like that. Opal is his birthstone and my favorite stone and topaz is my birtstone.

But, I'll just have to wait and see what he comes up with

zipis1

The e-ring.


The set (it's a puzzle ring).

Also, this is the first time I get to participate in one of these. Yay!

GreenPepperBurger

This is the ring that BF promised to get me. It's 2 carats. When I told him it was too big, he insisted and said I'm worth more.


I am so lucky to have him.

desertsun

I never get tired of seeing all the variety!

leia1979

Zip, I still love your ring. If I had seen one like that, it's probably what I would have picked.

Stock photo of the whole set.





Here's the e-ring part. It's a 0.75 carat-equivalent lannyte center. I need to get my ring replated for the wedding. The band is so much brighter than the e-ring.

I have a really cool artsy shot of my ring in the snow, but it must be on FI's camera.

ask and ye shall receive.

Jebus I lurves bling!!

loves2shop4shoes

Fineeeee...if I must.  My center stone is a 1ct cushion cut diamond.  The setting has another 0.7 ish ct. of diamonds.  The matching wedding band has another 0.7ish cts. of diamonds.  I really love my ring.

my great-great aunt's ring that was passed down to me a few months after I was born.  1.57ct oval center with two .33 triangle side stones, in it's original setting.  I was going to reset it in white gold or rose gold, but I grew to like the yellow gold.
