My ring

ring is emerald cut blue topaz with two round blue topaz, set in white gold. we want to upgrade when money is better.

it’s been a week and it’s kind of hitting me now. i don’t know.

excuse the weird hand angle. i wanted to have my nails done, i do press ons myself, but amazon sent me the wrong glue tabs and by the time i realised it was too late! so my nails are natural and believe me they are not cute.

anyway. on the day itself we set out in the sun but in true north west UK fashion, by the time we got off the bus it was cloudy. started our walk and my ankle started playing up so we couldn’t access the place my partner wanted to go to and on the way we’d attempted to go there was a wasp nest! so we went back to the gardens, and it started raining sideways. so i was like fine! fuck it! let’s just go back to the hotel and order dinner!

it happened anyway, in the five minutes where the rain stopped, and it was lovely but i have massive regrets about popping the bubble.

my friends reactions were lukewarm, nobody wanted to know how it happened or even where. his parents are evangelical, i am not, he left the church during our relationship and they didn’t care for it at all. despite it being them who said directly to him they’d prefer we get married but apparently that doesn’t hold up in practise.

as for my family…. well, put it this way. if they didn’t care for my cousin getting engaged while she was pregnant they are not going to care for this so i just haven’t told them. because RSD is funny like that.

i know it’s not all about me and other people have stuff going on in their lives and this basically doesn’t matter to anyone but me, but i’m honestly really sad i haven’t had a single particularly excited reaction or even any questions about it considering what it took for us to get here with financial issues, various changes at his work, deaths in his family etc.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 10 years. We're at a reckoning point in our relationship. He's finishing up his master's and I'm about to take the bar, and I foresee a proposal coming soon.

We're in an LDR right now, and he's been mentioning engagements a lot when we call, and he told me the type of metal he wants to use (he's a metallurgist) and the types of gems that would be good and even asked me what type of design I wanted for the ring.

And I thought this was supposed to be a surprise. I'm incredibly conflicted to have this so out in the open when I was imagining my own engagement to be a surprise.

Just wanted to hear the thoughts of the people here? Did your partners include you in ring planning and engagement planning? Do you think it ruined the surprise for you?

Finally a fiancé!! I was so excited to finally see this beauty in person.... it's a custom ring with pink diamond side stones. we opted for the one sided bridge so when the wedding band comes into the picture it wouldn't bump against any diamonds ❤️

it's a 4 ct marquise center stone and my ring size is 6.5

My wonderful partner took me on a fairy garden adventure with my proposal through a little fairy door. My dad was my person and we just went through his five year passing anniversary and my now fiancé hiked with his ashes to make sure my dad was with us for this special moment. Stones are pink sapphire with little diamond accents in yellow gold.

Been lurking on this page for so long, well before I met my soon to be husband but I’m so glad to finally post! We have two years to plan but wow it’s so overwhelming and fun!!! Any advice for wedding planning is BEYOND welcome!!

Just a girl who loves her fiancé and really likes sparkly things!

My boyfriend (now fiancé😝) proposed 3 days ago with 2.05 ct lab round cut stone with diamond around the band and a hidden halo. I absolutely LOVE it, I love my ring so much and I want to share!

It happened three days ago! This is my mother’s ring, picked out by my dad in ‘93. There’s no one I’d rather go on life’s journey with.

It’s so pretty 🤭

We are both huge fans of The Office and we’re visiting LA for a wedding. He knew the one thing I really wanted to do was to go to the building used for the exterior shots of Dunder Mifflin and he dropped down on one knee there and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The man, the location, and the ring are all things I never thought I would get!

I got this beautiful ring and a perfect husband-to-be at a music festival we go to yearly. There’s a big paper lantern release at the end of the night and LAST YEAR he wrote the question he asked me this year on his lantern. I cannot get over how gorgeous it is, and how perfectly me it is. Moonstone, surrounded by opals, set in sterling silver. Everything I wanted and more, truly

we took our first trip without our babies and had the most beautiful engagement 🥹 i’m obsessed with the ring!

He did so good, and I’m so so grateful! He surprised me with a trip to somewhere I used to go with my family 20 years ago, Slovenia (specifically, Lake Bled). Then a part 2 to the trip for a “victory lap” as he called it, to Venice!

P.s. this is my first and maybe only post to Reddit, just had to share as I’ve been following this sub forever

I love it so much 🥹 it's a teal sapphire center stone 🥰

Found this beauty back in May and sent it to my now Fiancé, he purchased it immediately and I’m so glad he did! The ring was made entirely in Canada, which we love and makes it even more meaningful for us 🤍

It’s a petite petal cluster ring from the 70’s, center stone is 0.02ct round blue sapphire, the diamonds are 0.07ct round brilliant cut and the metal is 10K yellow gold. My ring size is 4!

I’m so in love ❤️❤️

i’ve been patiently waiting and told myself to be happy just to have quality time together away from home… but he surprised me on our trip out west last week 😭😭

HII!! My husband and I got married before picking out rings because we really didn't know which rings we wanted. He recently decided that he wants a black ring with some gold on it. Something like the picture attached. I have been searching online and I am seeing mixed reviews about black rings.

I am also seeing so many different prices online. The range goes from 100 on Etsy to 2000 for some jewelers. Has anyone bought any similar rings? Do you have material and store recommendations?

Thank you!!

couldn’t be happier. honestly felt like engagement purgatory turned into proposal psychosis for a little there but we made it!

1.90ct lab pear center stone

¾ ct Marquee diamonds on the side

½ ct rounds scalloped pavé twisted band

14k rose and white gold

Ring of my dreams I'm sure other girls have similar stones but I never thought in my life I'd ever be with someone who would be willing and want to show me that level of love. Not only did he not question my choice but he wanted to make sure it was what I wanted I never had that before and having that in him made all the difference. My soulmate asked me to marry him and I said YES!!!

My FIANCÉ did amazing. Can’t stop staring and thinking how grateful I am to marry this man 🥹🙌🏾

My boyfriend proposed at Yosemite, and
I’m so happy that we’re engaged!
And I love my ring! It’s custom, and am so happy I could make it something I love. Wanted to share since it’s unique.
The stone is Amethyst (8mm)
The metal is platinum
Hand engraved!

After 4 1/2 years finally got my dream ring. It’s an emerald lab cut with east to west design. Band 14k gold and the hallows are the only real diamonds. My man did an amazing job!

My fiancé proposed with his grandma’s reset stone!! She’s very important to both of us, and I’m so so excited to have been given her ring. I wanted something simple, timeless, and classic so it could continue to be an heirloom for a long time. I think he did a great job!!🥹
