My Ring - POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY Proposing to my boyfriend this Halloween! 🎃💕

Thumbnail

1.3k Upvotes

I know it's taboo for a woman to propose to a man, but he told me that he would be extremely happy if I proposed to him. He informed me that if I did, his answer would be Yes!

I plan on taking him on a date to this German town near me, and with it being Halloween we're going to be in our pokemon onsies. 😂 He has a Pikachu onesie I got him as a gift, and I have my Gengar one. The ring box will be a Luxury Ball since that's his favorite pokéball.

He didn't want a standard band, so I figure this one would be different but subtle. He likes minimalist aesthetics. The stone for his ring is Aquamarine, which is my birthstone. His birthstone Emerald will be in the ring he gifts to me.

TLDR: proposing to my boyfriend on Halloween, taking him to a German town, nerding out with pokemon stuff, swapped out casual diamonds with our birthstones. He approves of being proposed to. 👍

Edit: I'll keep y'all updated! 😉

My Ring - POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY My sapphire beauty

Thumbnail

2.9k Upvotes

My camera is cracked so excuse the blurry photos! She shines a deep blue, electric blue, lavender and even reddish-pink at some angles in different lighting. I truly couldn’t be anymore blessed.

1 Otcw natural sapphire with 18k white gold in ring size 5 3/4.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the compliments! it truly means a lot that so many of you see the same beauty in this ring as i do, and that you’re all so kind about it.

To address some comments: the jewelers must have infused some sort of magic in this as it is not sharp, pokey, or prone to catch on anything (this is coming from a grade-A clumsy autistic who’s been affianced for a month now, so I’ve had some time to rough it up 😆). The prongs cover any pointy edges from the kite-cut sapphires, and the sloped mounting keeps it flush on my finger (I often forget I’m wearing it until I see it!).

For those of you making fairy tale, fantasy, and storybook comparisons— I love you and y’all are right on the money. A girl loves her whimsy!

Question I feel underwhelmed… but not in a bad way.

Post image
648 Upvotes

Has anybody received a ring and somehow felt like this ring belonged to them before?

It’s not big, it’s not in your face, but it’s absolutely perfect for me. I finally let myself want what I actually WANT and not what I think “I should want”. It took me forever to find something that I screamed my name. I found this, told my partner, and he secretly bought it for me and surprised me with it. It was all perfect.

It’s almost underwhelming, but not in a bad way. I feel like I have always had this ring on my finger. I feel like its been mine before maybe? Idk how to explain it but it doesn’t feel new and exciting it feels like it has always been mine. I find it really hard to explain this feeling. It’s not a bad feeling at all, I don’t feel sad, I am ecstatic. But when I look at the ring idk i don’t get this crazy “OMG wow” feeling, I see it and feel like wow this beautiful flower has been here all along. I feel crazy! Someone please tell me they have felt this way before.

It’s a 1930s Flower Ring with 18k yellow and white gold with 7 diamonds to makeup the flower. It’s going to be 100 years old the year of our 10 year anniversary. It all feels so special to me. I thought I’d get butterflies every time I look at my ring but thats not actually how I ended up reacting. It just feels like a natural part of me now, like it’s always been here.

My Ring - POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY Yesterday was a dream! She killed it!!

Long time lurker!! Now a fiancé! My gf completely amazed me with her proposal yesterday. We had a trip planned to get out of the city and enjoy a nice cabin in the woods to see the leaves changing. Of course on our way there we took a detour to the most gorgeous gardens I have ever seen. She had apparently been planning this since July, and there was a hidden photographer there to capture it all. Truly so magical. I can’t wait for my turn to propose to her back!!

Ring is a size 7, 2.67 carat marquise on a gold band with 4 mm to 2 mm taper, basket low profile setting. We designed our rings together through L. Priori, but each of us only saw the wax mold and not the final
product.

I can’t believe I get to marry the love of my life. 16 year old me used to have panic attacks about coming out, and all I can say is that it really does get better

Whichever ring I go with will be yellow gold to match the engagement ring. I’m just starting the process of looking for a wedding band and I’m not sure what I want.

My engagement ring is a 1 carat lab asscher cut diamond on a roughly 3mm wide, 18 karat gold band. Size J1/2.

My fiancé (can’t believe I can say that now!) proposed to me recently on a trip we took with a ring that was his great grandmother’s. He’s always told me that this would be the ring he would use one day and he showed me quick glimpses of it over the years but I never got to see it cleaned and in its full glory like this. It’s perfect and so special to both of us and we couldn’t be more excited to be getting married!

16 year wedding anniversary - hubby surprised me with a ring upgrade. When we got married, we were pregnant & had no money lol. He couldn’t even afford my OG ring (his mom bought it!). It’s a testament to our beginning & our growth. After 2 kids & a dog - we’re at such a good place. So blessed.

She’s a 4.3 carat emerald cut, F color, VS1 clarity. Side stones are .5 carat trapezoids.

My Ring - POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY Finally upgraded the placeholder ring…

I love her so much. We had the ring designed and made by a female independent jeweller near where we live in South London after getting engaged with a placeholder. Took a little while, but absolutely worth it - fun experience and ended up with exactly what I wanted but couldn’t articulate properly. I’m not very good at taking pictures of detail, but here she is (and one of the temporary one because she will always have a special place in my heart).

0.92 emerald cut centre stone. Think it is G in colour, no idea the rest - I was shown a selection of stones and picked the one I was most drawn to. Think finger size is J, but is just a finger, innit.

Hi guys, I genuinely want to know what you guys think of this ring? This is my wedding ring. In our culture, we don’t have engagements, only weddings. So this is my wedding ring that he chose.

we got engaged last month. i had no idea it was going to happen that night but, i should have known. we decided to do holiday photos after years of saying we should, and never actually doing them.
it was on a random monday evening. Didn’t have that cute of an outfit or even my nails done. Plus that day i had started my new job and had almost rescheduled the photos (my cousin did them for us at no charge) which he also had no idea that my fiance was going to propose! so my cousin found out seconds before i even knew what was happening!!!

this was the 2nd ring i tried on at the very first store we went to. the sales person was AMAZING. she did not make me feel pressured or like i was wasting her time. we went to other stores straight after and all other salespersons were rude and did not care to even help us.
i was not expecting to find my ring that day, we were in edmonton for a wedding and at that time, i had no idea what i even wanted so we planned to go to a few jewelry stores so i can try some on so figure out what i liked.

TLDR: i started a new job on a monday and engaged the same day. did not expect it, did holiday photos but also rescheduled. 2nd ring i tried on at the store and fell in love w/ ring and salesperson was amazing, other stores after employees were rude.

thank you for reading :-)

Long time stalker, first time poster.
I have been stalking rings on this thread and on Pinterest since before he took me ring shopping in November last year! I fell in love with the elongated cushion cut and they had a 2ct that I tried on. I also loved the bezel on other rings because it looked so much more secure (and pretty in my opinion) because I’m a teacher and a gardener and I just always had this thought that I would break one of the prongs and lose it 🤣 he did an amazing job of putting them together into this ring for me. Anyway!!! Mine is Lab grown, 2.5ct on my very skinny fingers. I also stressed that I didn’t want the gold band to be too thin or thick (difficult I know) and I think it’s perfect. I also didn’t want a super high set stone and this was as low as they could get it and it doesn’t feel too high at all. But most importantly, I get to marry my best friend! How good!!!!

1.00 carat, E colour, SI1 clarity, GIA-certified natural diamond.
I’m in Sydney, and the jewellery shop imports its diamonds from Canada.
I’m so happy that I’m finally engaged and married! 🥹❤️ My husband got me a natural diamond because I wanted natural diamonds for both my engagement and wedding rings.
For my next jewellery collection, I’m thinking of getting lab-grown diamonds instead. 💍
I’m considering a 2-carat diamond or a red ruby for my next ring.

Sorry about my nails—they’re looking very ugly at the moment🙏🏻
