Rough diamond engagement rings

AllAboutTheBenjamin

What do you think, are these cool?  If you were NEY would you want one of these?

I think they are kinda cool but I do enjoy my sparkly round cut diamond

I think they are neat looking but I don't know I'd want one as an e-ring either. I think they are a tad trendy looking and I wanted my e-ring to be something more timeless since I plan on wearing it for a long time. 

dmiller9274

I don't like them. 

I guess if you want a huge ring that doesn't cost much, that'd be the way to go. I don't think you'd be able to get a 5.1 carat diamond for 12k in a standard cut. ETA: I don't mean that 12k isn't a lot of money, just not a lot of money for a 5 carat ring.

I'm NEY, and I would not like one.  I don't know, they just don't look like diamond, and I don't feel like they're sparkly.  Call me crazy, but I would like the eventual ring on my finger to be sparkly.

A couple of them aren't my taste at all but i love those eternity bands.

It looks like a good way to get a big diamond for a cheap price.

You can get a 5.5 carat for only 18K.

NMS.

ETA: looks like dmils and I are on the same page, lol

anna.oskar

Most I'm very not impressed with but I do love those eternity bands.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I like the eternity bands too anna.

I think I'd want one for a right hand ring or like rachers said, a cocktail ring, but nah for my e/wedding ring.

KateJ10

Those are pretty cool looking, but I would agree I wouldn't want one for an engagement ring.

Blueyed228

It reminds me of the girls who get CZ's or other white stone that look like diamonds and then say "Im not trying to pass it off as a diamond!!"

Yes.  Yes you are.

Those are neat looking, but I effing hate their website.

This was my first thought. I would want MY engagment ring, but I'd wear one of these as a right hand ring. And I love the yellow.

I think part of the charm of a diamond is that it sparkles, so these kind of seem pointless to me.  The settings were beautiful, though, but they're NMS.

Just because you're wearing something they probably would find in Liz Taylors jewelry box, dont rub it in ;)

You ring is gorgeous, but I've told you that before.

brandichamberlain

I actually like the Vine one under the bridal section, but I think that is because it is fairly similar to my actual ring.

me too! But it would feel a little strange to eat one this week lol

Starmusica

I wouldn't want it as an e-ring but like others have said- maybe a right hand ring?

Dmill- I don't know if I've seen your ring! picture?

jennamarie10

Looks like I'm the only one that actually would wear it as an engagement ring. I think they are really pretty. I would NEVER get one that was 5.5 carats and I wouldn't do it only for the price, but I do like them.

You have to see it in person, pictures do not do it justice!

pirategal03

I like them.  I've seen rough diamonds in different settings before and didn't think they'd make good e-rings, but I like these in more classic engagement ring settings.  Flashy e-rings/eternity bands etc. are NMS, but if they were, I don't think I'd mind one of these. 

brandichamberlain

Dmill-  that is gorgeous.

Jenna- I would wear one in the Vine style! You are not alone.

NuggetBrain

No.  I'm shallow and I want my diamond to sparkle harder than Edward Cullen.

dmiller9274

thanks

sarabear23

I love them. And, now I want one. 

september's bride

I'm in the minority - I really like them!

Girlie1030

There's a bracelet in there that I love.  And a steal at $38k.
