Show Off Your Rings!

Re: Show Off Your Rings!





  • Veragio Insignia collection.  We went engagement ring shopping, we looked at rings we both liked, but in the end he picked this one out all by himself.  Mine is  a round cut.  I originally wanted a Princess cut, but after looking at how much light the round cuts captured, that is what I settled on.  He picked out the perfect ring, it is more beautiful than any that I picked out. :-)



  • My FI proposed the night of my hooding ceremony for my doctorate with this gorgeous 1.6 carat ring. I had been away on residency for the past six months and so he picked it out by himself and selected the center stone separate from the band. Despite having talked about getting engaged I was completely suprised when he did it. To say the least that was one of the best nights of my life (obviously until the wedding day)!
  • My fiance designed this ring completely by himself!
    He melted down his grandmothers wedding and engagement rings to make my ring. It is perfect and special and I have yet to see another ring in the world that looks anything like it! I am one lucky girl!


  • The center stone is a family heirloom he got from my aunt.  The rest of the setting he picked out himself.  Love it!  I couldn't have asked for anything more.

  • I love my ring! It's elegant and feminine, without being gaudy. It's 1/3c marquise solitare, set in platinum, and it has a beautiful sparkle to it!
  • My fiance picked it out all by himself, and it was a total surprise.  He then brought my mom and sister to the jewlery shop and had this ring mixed in with ten other rings and asked them which they thought I would like the best, and they both chose this ring also :-)   He popped the big question on April 02 after asking my dad's permission and driving two and a half hours to see me :-)
    1.3 carat total weight, 29 diamonds, the center diamond is suspended in the air, white gold.
    Congrats to all the lucky brides-to-be out there!!!


  • We had looked at rings a few months before the proposal, but somehow he managed to make me think he wasn't listening....Meanwhile, he had a ring custom made for me with all the features I liked on the other rings combined!! A 1.5 carat solitaire with a wide white gold bands and 2 rose gold wedding bands with diamonds.

    My man totally surprised me.  He is a college professor part time (he also has a day job) and he took the day off from his regular job to give a final for his class.  Since he knew he had the afternoon off, he told me he was grading and drove all the way to Chicago (from Milwuakee, thats about 2 hrs, took him 3.5 because of snow and traffic EACH WAY) to the nearest Tiffany and Co and picked up my ring, which he picked out himself, but ran it by friends and coworkers galore for opinions (they all completely agreed with his choice).  He proposed at home while I was in my sweats (much to my chagrin, but it was winter, cut me some slack!) because he knew i wouldnt see it coming.

  • Pics of rings NEVER do the rings justice. Tri-sone Princess cut.
    We picked it out together but he chose the stone shape. I liked it because the side profile of the ring looked like a tiera!  Thank you again, My Love.
  • The picture's blurry, and as mentioned above can't do justice any way, but it's a 1.51 ct asscher cut diamond, 1.8 tcw set in platinum. My fiance did pick it out himself, but he had received hints of what I like :) Even still, it's more than I could have ever expected, love it!

  • My fiance was the sweetest in his proposal!!! It was a complete surprise. I had mentioned that I wanted to have a picture of the actual proposal, so he made sure my best freind was there to do so!!! I cherish this picture!
    He picked the ring out completely by himself and it is perfect...it is so me!!! I have chosen a contoured diamond band to match it!


    We will be married in 82 Days!!!!!!! August 29, 2010



  • He knew I liked Princess cut and we had always talked about adding a touch of color to it, which he obviously didn't do, but I couldn't be happier with the ring! He and the jeweler even talked about turning the center stone 45 degrees to look more like a baseball diamond because I'm a HUGE baseball fan, but I'm glad he didn't because I think it would have dug into my skin on my other fingers.
  • I love my ring...we picked it out together and he got it for me as a "promise ring" or so i thought..he's in Iraq so when he came home he asked it he could get a better look at the ring...cause he hadn't seen it in person and of course gave it to him and then he took a knee a proposed!!!! Soon to be Mrs. Sgt. J. Trombley!!!! yay!!!!



    it's a 7/8 ct total weight with 4 princess cut diamonds in the middle and 4 princess cut channel set on either side
  • Here's mine! I picked it out, as me being of Indian descent (=blingy) and he being French (=not blingly at all), I figured it would be easiest. :)

    I'm not a fan of diamonds - I personally think they are cold (no offense to all these beautiful rings) - so we went with my favorite stone, a sapphire. I don't wear jewelry so I asked him to scale back from the one he wanted. He was so sweet and let me help pick it so I would enjoy it all the time. I love my ring - it is so me!!!

    I love it. He's not a jewllery person so I was stuckbetween liking two diffrerent but uniqe rings he gave me 24 hours to pick on(as I'm horribly indecisive) and I landed on this one, it's just perfect for me and I'm glad he let me pick it out myself. from the side the setting looks like a tulip :)

    My fiance proposed on 4/24/2010 in Costa Rica.  he completely caught me off guard with this 1.57 carrat ring (center stone). I never expected it and i still cant believe i have something this beautiful on my finger.  I also cant believe he designed it out all by himself...i am impressed!   I love the small diamonds circling the setting of the diamond...it makes it different. 



    Date set for 6/11/2011 ~ One Year~ Wahoooo!
  • I have an obsession with Sapphires and so my most wonderful h2b went on the search, along with my gemologist mum, to find one that I would truly adore. He then went on to have an antique diamond setting re-built to take the sapphire. The result is this, an engagement ring that I look at every day and fall in love with more and more!

  • My FH proposed to me while we were in Las Vegas for his niece's wedding! We were at the rehearsal dinner at Margaritaville, he proposed a toast to his niece and her fiance', and then said he had another announcement - got down on 1 knee in front of everyone and popped the question! Needless to say, I was speechless (not an easy feat! LOL) He picked out this ring. It's tension set with 90 lbs of pressure. I love this unique ring because there are no prongs. I'm a nurse and love the flat/rounded top. It's absolutely perfect - just like him!
  • My fiancé and I just got engaged on 6/11/2010!! He proposed to me while we were walking along a lagoon in Scottsdale AZ on the evening of our 4 year anniversary! He picked out the ring himself and did an amazing job I love it!!!
