S/O "Dream" Rings
I know that all the engageds here love their rings, and any NEYers would totally love anything their BF gets them. BUT if money were seriously no option, what kind of ring would you want?
Post all the delicious gaudiness here!

Re: S/O "Dream" Rings
Honestly, I just like a diamond solitaire in a white gold or platinum band. I know a lot of people think it's boring, but it's the kind of look I like. From anywhere, not necessarily Tiffany. I just like the photo.
I also love sapphire rings.

This is the coolest ring I have ever seen. I don't think I would REALLY want it but it so amazing to look at.
EDIT: It's Tiffany but I'd take a no name that was similar to it's awesomness
[QUOTE]Bren, how did you get the PIP? My dream ring is also a Tiffany. I have always drooled over them, not really sure why. <a href="http://www.tiffany.com/Engagement/Item.aspx?GroupSKU=GRP10042#f+1/0/2002/0/0/2002" rel='nofollow'>http://www.tiffany.com/Engagement/Item.aspx?GroupSKU=GRP10042#f+1/0/2002/0/0/2002</a>

I used the snipping tool on my computer to save the pic. But I've used print screen before too. Tiffany doesn't want you to save their pics easily :P
Thank you! :)
8 Carat Canary diamond ring from Cartier. Price? Yours for the low price of $400,000.
Mine isn't sensible haha. The exact ring I posted is my dream ring- 1 carat brilliant solitaire set in platinum from Tiffany.
For other random jewellery to have, I could definitely find something crazier but for an e-ring, that's exactly what I love.
I do love that canary diamond though...
I still love it!! It's really not that expensive either
Also, I would love Princess Diana/Kate Middleton's ring.

My former college rm's FI got her engagement ring from BN, they got it appraised by a 3rd party and it was exactly what they bought (all the c's).

But if we're taking bling to the max, well Harry Winston makes me giddy:
5 carat fancy blue diamond, yes I know I could have a sapphire, but I can't help myself.

I actually tried on a similar one (though it was smaller -- only 3 carats) at a jeweler in Houston and fell in love (BF did, too. He wouldn't shut up about it). It was about 15 times our budget, though.

DROOOOOOOL.
Here's my dream ring (at the moment) that we could realistically afford:

I love platinum. I don't mind the softness, and I just love the look and colouring of it.

[QUOTE]I still like white gold. Platinum is too soft.

This! I originally really wanted platinum. But after doing some research, gold is much more resilient than platinum (though it does require re-dipping). And the lower the karat of gold, the higher proportion of alloys that are blended in, meaning the more stable. Interestingly, the lower the karat, the cheaper (since it's a lower percentage of real gold). The problem for some people are allergies to the alloys (like nickel), but I don't have that allergy. So I want 10k or 14k white gold. Even getting it re-dipped every 6 months to a year or so won't nearly make up for the price difference (about $600). Plus I like that it's a lot harder metal. I have a white gold claddaugh ring I wear every day, and it's stayed in remarkably good condition - I can't see a reason to re-dip it as it still looks shiny silver, though it does have some dings in it (I don't think I can re-dip it anyway as it has some yellow gold on it).
