    I found the perfect ring set, bf didnt like it because he thought it should cost more, looked online at it again this week and it has gone up $900, but that's his fault hahahha. I am hoping and hoping that he gets me that one, he knows what I like but this way I know I will have a ring I love, and not one I only like. It's the perfect ring!!! Oh, bf does actually like the ring, he just thought it was too cheap.

    Plain silver wedding band with our fingerprints on the inside. A Tiffany's 3 stone emerald cut diamond engagement ring in a silver band.

    I'm only getting married once (if ever). So I want to make it epic and classy, to pass on to my daughters/sons.

    I bought mine on ebay. GIA certified is the way to go. We paid less for the ring than the diamond is worth wholesale. do your research! http://www.pricescope.com/ is an incredible website for those just starting out in their search. I had the setting changed after purchasing the ring and I love it.

    here is mine: GIA certified, E, SI1, oval cut, 2.05ct with another ct in the ring and another .5 in the two bands

    No. I'm not getting engaged. At least I don't think. But I was wondering...

    Did you and your SO go together to pick out an engagement ring? Did you just pop into a store together and window shopped? Or did you go and pick one out and he proposed in the store?

    Did you leave subtle man hints (IE: Cut out pictures, sent him pictures, drew your ring out for him..)


    Or are you the eternal romantic "I'll love whatever you get me because it's from you."

    Discuss. I wanna know.

    when i got engaged i designed my own ring and got it made...

    Mine is a family ring....my family :-) It was my great-great aunt's engagement ring - it's a Victorian ring, so basically one of a kind and I love it. What we're going to do about wedding rings....I have no idea! My ring is hexagonal shape so I can't fit a straight band under it, so I may end up wearing my engagement ring as a right hand ring.

    We picked them out together. I didn't want an engament ring to begin with so I had to go to shoot down any thing too girly.


    I did manage to break the engagement ring all together last year and just wear the band now. :drinker:

    I knew I wanted a sapphire instead of a diamond (I dislike how the supply of diamonds is controlled artificially) and also a trilliant cut. Hubs wanted a little bit of diamond on there so to compromise we decided on having some very small diamonds around the sides. I had an idea/sketch of sort of a wrap style.

    We picked up a loose sapphire at one store, and that was the end of my involvement so I'd be at least a little surprised. My hubs took the stone to a different place and had the ring designed. There is nothing else like it anywhere!

    The unusual shape required a very unusual wedding band to fit within it, and I happened to find an independent jeweler who was really excited for the challenge. We liked his work so much that we went back and got my husband's band done to match mine (the band we used at the ceremony for him was a cheap $50 one - we had moved up the wedding and entire year so we were scrambling) - white gold with a small sapphire in the middle in a very manly setting.

    I rarely wear any jewelry but I love my rings. I love that my husband didn't have to take out a loan to purchase them. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them when I'm at stores

    He picked out my engagement ring, round solitare. I don't remember if I we had ever discussed it but that is what I wanted. We picked out are wedding bands together.

    We had matching bands, but I never got an actual engagement ring. Seemed to be no point since we'd been together for so long already. He doesn't wear his band, but only because we didn't realize that the metal and his body composition don't go well together. Silver tarnishes easily and quickly when he wears it, which is why he usually wears stainless steal instead. We may get it redone in stainless at a later date.

    My husband and I went casually shopping together. He knows im into the real vintage stuff from early 1900s, so he asked my family and his for rings but all were too small.

    Finally I told him If he intends on marrying me he should pick it out himself. We'd been together for two years and if he didn't know me well enough to find a ring id die for then we weren't meant to get married.

    Obviously he found the perfect ring. :)

    I told my (then, not yet) husband I didn't like diamonds (I find them boring and I'm opposed to how they are procured). He knew I liked white gold, not yellow, and so he picked out a lovely ring with an emerald. I didn't care about the ring, I just wanted to marry him

    We looked together for about a year and it was soooooooo frustrating. Apparently I am very picky and hate everything. We finally just bought white gold bands for the both of us until I can find a his and hers that I approve of. We may do something custom later on so they are how I want.

    He picked the engagement ring out on his own and did a fantastic job!!. Although he did ask me a million questions about the cut and style I wanted. We went together to pick out the wedding band because I wanted to make sure it matched my engagement ring.

    I didn't get an engagement ring. Or a proposal. We mutually agreed that we should get married, then did just that 2 months later. I picked out my wedding band and he picked out his :smile:
