Ring Shopping - AW/PIP

LabLove86 · September 2014

We went ring shopping a couple days ago!!!

We are looking at 2 of them - Either way - will be ~1ct equivalent moissanite princess center stone

We both like this one:

But my first choice by a LONG shot is this one:

BF didn't give MUCH opinion - but he looked at the second one a lot longer than the first.

Also - I think he is becoming much more excited about our upcoming engagement. Initially when we talked about it - it was "The ring will at least be ordered by christmas." Then "You'll have the ring by christmas." And just last night he said - "We'll go back to the store in a few weeks to pick out and order the one you want, and at somepoint between October and Christmas, it'll be on your finger."

He's so excited, its so cute. He always talks about it when we're with his family/friends about how this is what we're doing and how its coming soon.

) I love him so much, and I love that he as excited about this as I am!!

Ooh! The second one is gorgeous!!!

Drooling over the second one, oh my godddddd

bethsmiles · September 2014

They are both pretty but the second one is my favorite!

I LOVE the second one (it was on my wish list for e-rings, and my e-ring is Simon G so I'm a little biased)

Swazzle · September 2014

Beautiful!

Hummingbird125 · September 2014

Gorgeous! I Iove them both!

I love ring #2!!!

[Deleted User] · September 2014

Both of those rings are gorgeous!

Peaseblossom55 · September 2014

The second one is my favorite too

labro · September 2014

Both are gorgeous! I love them both for different reasons so I'd have such a difficult time choosing!!

GoldenPenguin · September 2014

That second one is drop dead gorgeous!!

eilis1228 · September 2014

They are stunning! I really love the east-west setting of the second one, but are both absolutely beautiful.

I wanted a Simon G ring. I love the 2nd! Very similar to what I originally wanted before we decided to do a custom ring.

Dignity100 · September 2014

I like the 2nd one best too!! I'm not sure about the 1st one, but the Simon G has a matching band, which is nice.

If he does go with that one, you might want to see if the band should be ordered at the same time. With mine it was either: Order with the band or give my ring up for 4 weeks while they make the band for my ring, so we just ordered the set (my wedding band actually sets inside part of my e-ring though)

luckya23 · September 2014

Personally I would choose the first because I don't want a curved wedding band or a gap, but I do like that the second at least has a matching band, if you do intend to wear them together!

Artcarved may still have that contest going on where you can send in a photo of you trying on their ring to potentially win it.

Ollie08 · September 2014

I love them both! I really like the 2nd one, but I"m also in the boat with @alucky23 that I want(ed) a straight wedding band, not a curved one, in case I wanted to wear them separately. But OMG that second one!

bookishgiraffes · September 2014

Those are both gorgeous, but I love the second one so much! I may be biased since I like the curved bands though.

kaitlynmichelle · September 2014

The curved band is honestly why we didn't go with a ring like that. I really didn't want a curved band or a gap.

Even so I love the 2nd.

Dignity100 · September 2014

My band is an ever so slight bypass (curved) - I won't really be able to wear my wedding band separate without it looking a little odd. But I do love my set so much - I still find my self looking at my e-ring and admiring how pretty it is (and I cannot wait to add the wedding band to it!! I MIGHT get a right hand infinity ring that I'd be able to wear on my left if I'd ever not want to wear my set (thankfully my right/left ring fingers are close enough to the same size).

LabLove86 · September 2014

@Dignity100, @Alucky23, @Ollie08 (and anyone else who commented about a curved wedding band that I missed) I actually tried on a straight band with the second option because with working in a dental office - I will more than likely only wear my band once we're married (only at work - because OMG that ring!)

I was nervous about the curved band too, thinking I really didn't want a gap - but it actually looked pretty OK with a straight band. I'll try to upload the pic I took.

As far as ordering them together- the jeweler we are going to will give a 10% discount if we order the wedding bands within 60 days of purchasing the e-ring. So we will probably do that.

phira · September 2014

I'm going to have a slightly curved band. J said he's picking up the rings tomorrow (and he'd better), so I'll post pics. It might help to see what it would look like.

LabLove86 · September 2014

OK - so here is the pic I took of the second one w/ the straight band that I liked - but please excuse the ring not fitting due to my man-sized hands and my un-manicured nails:

And just for good measure - possible future e-ring alone:

eilis1228 · September 2014

Ohhh I love the way it looks with the straight band!

phira · September 2014

Okay that looks a-fucking-mazing with the straight band.

bethsmiles · September 2014

I love the way it looks with a straight band!

Dignity100 · September 2014

It looks really pretty with the straight band!

Swazzle · September 2014

Agreed with all the PPs, it looks really great with the straight band!

LabLove86 · September 2014

I was equally as surprised guys!!!!! I thought I would HATE the gaps - but they are totally ok!!

GoldenPenguin · September 2014

I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Everything about it. Totally gorgeous.

BreMR · September 2014

I LOVE the 2nd ring (late to the party here). I got an e-ring with a curved band but it actually doesn't have a gap...the curve is very slight. I had thought that I didn't want to get my rings put together via sauter but, now that I've worn my engagement ring for 5 months..I really can't imagine a time where I wouldn't want to wear it.

I can't wait to see your ring on your finger officially @lablove86!!!!!
