Engaged in June and I’m still obsessed!
Any fellow emerald cut lovers here?
The main stone is 1.93 ct lab grown diamond :)

Green marquise sapphire with diamonds in 14. rose gold. I love green sapphires and finally have one of my own

I have been playing with upgrades (not in price/value but in size). Tell me which you prefer and why please.

1 is my original diamond, inherited from my grandmother. About 10 years ago we added the wrap and had all three rings soldered together.

1. Is some stuff from ali express. I love the way the eternity ring fits around the engagement stone, but the stones in the eternity ring are too small
   

3 is from Etsy. I ordered with a euro shank. I had read that they run small, but I ordered my regular size because I can go
down a bit, would wesr 4 1/4 if that was widely available. When they came, they were huge. I had to wrap thread around in the back of them to make them work,

4 is Amazon. No engagement ring (I think it would clash with the eternity ring anyway , and the eternity ring wouldn’t snug up to an engagement ring.

What are your thoughts!? I wanted a timeless design. Does it suit me?

I’ve been waiting to post here!! Been following for a while.

I posted a photo of my OG wedding band/ring when hubs & I got married 16 years ago. When we got married, we had next to nothing - both working paycheck to paycheck & he couldn't afford to buy me a ring, so his mom bought one for him. It was around $800. Not my style at all, but I never made any comments other than that I loved it and I loved that it was ours.

Fast forward 16 years later: 2 kids, 1 Frenchie & he surprised me with an upgrade on my wedding stack. He said he always felt some type of way about my ring, that I always deserved better, deserved more. He always felt "meh" when my friends would show off their rocks & he said he loved me for never ever making him feel like the ring was not enough.

Its a 4.3 carat emerald cut F color, VS1 clarity with half carat trapezoid side stones = 5.3 TCW

underneath her is an open shank wedding band.

5.5 ring size.

I think he did absolutely AMAZING and I'm so so in love with her.

I got the ring in size 55 and loose in the evening, not sure if I should change it to size 54.

2ct lab-grown ruby. I love this vintage European design. It’s perfect except it catches hair a little.

Excited to share my engagement ring. I really wanted a green sapphire and he did GOOD. I don't see many split shank bands, so I hope this helps give anyone thinking about one a good visual. Also, the dark green sapphire is amazing. Sometimes it looks olive, sometimes more teal and other times a deep green. It feels so timeless and also elegant to me.
