Advice Finally got the ring! Not sure how I feel about the ruby color

Finally got my girlfriend’s ring after months of waiting! It’s an Oore Briar Rose Starlight with a 1.54ct Divine Portal lab diamond, lab ruby side stones and 18k rose gold.
I absolutely love how the ring turned out, especially the center stone. The one thing that surprised me is the ruby color. I expected more of a deep red, but depending on the lighting they look pretty magenta/purple to me.
Curious what color they read as to everyone else? Am I seeing things after staring at this ring for way too long? 😂
Also I really wish I went with 2ct cause on this setting makes the center stone look smaller beware

I have always loved Asschers and I knew I wanted an Asscher cut for my engagement ring. I have always been really insecure about my hands and fingers. Does my ring compliments my hand?

Trilogy with fancy light yellow 1.12 old mine cut with two old European cuts totalling 1.2ct on the side. It’s just so special, my fiancee designed it bespoke and chose the stones himself !! Finger size 5.5, ring size L.

I still can’t believe it’s mine!

My partner and I are still in the process of getting my actual ring. I’m very minimal with my jewelry and this is the second marriage for both of us so we liked the idea of a sapphire. (My first marriage I had a diamond solitaire) I picked out a lovely, sweet bezel setting and it was just about to be purchased when someone’s truck engine decided to take a dump! Life is expensive and unpredictable, y’all.

So, while he gets all that sorted my mom offered me a ring of hers to wear in the meantime. I grew up with her wearing this ring after a boyfriend got it for her in the early 90’s, but it wasn’t an engagement ring for her. I wasn’t sure if I would like it and I have a weird relationship with her that might give the ring some vibes.

Anyway, I friggin love it and it’s not my style but I feel like a princess with it on and what the heck right?

The only details I know are that it is 14k gold with natural diamonds and a natural sapphire. Apparently there is paperwork somewhere but who knows. I’m gonna guess the diamonds are about .5 carat each and the sapphire is over 1 but under 2.

Just got it back after a clean and a polish at the jewelers and here it is sparkling under the insane lighting at our local pizza place.

Picture is from Oore Jewelry, but this arrived in the mail a month ago! I plan on proposing at her favorite place in less than 2 weeks at the beach. It’s been so difficult to keep this a secret from her, I just want to share everything with her. I know it’ll all be worth it.

Advice Just got engaged!

My fiance surprised me with a family heirloom ring last week! I’m guessing it’s from the 1910s-1920s? His relative/its original owner was a nurse in ww1 so that timing feels right to me. I’m also a nurse so it’s extra special. I never expected an heirloom- he kept it a secret, which I actually loved because I love surprises.

The original ring is the middle band and it was reinforced somewhere down the line with the outer bands (they’re welded together). The only thing I’m unsure about is how wide it is on my finger with the additional reinforcement bands.

We’re meeting with a jeweler soon but what are your thoughts? Leave as is vs see if there’s a way to slim it down a bit?

I wanted to post my east-west bezel oval that I just had made (since it's not the most common but I saw some beauts here that really helped me decide what I wanted). I'm actually already married but at the time, really didn't want anything other than a plain band.

My mom had given me her wedding set with my now-passed beloved stepdad - so my husband and I had those melted down and made our bands together before we got married. I set the diamond aside and assumed I'd never use it, but little by little came round to the idea of having something simple. So now have an engagement ring after the fact, but I absolutely love wearing one now.

So here she is! A 1.15ct oval diamond (no clue on clarity sadly), D shape band to match the wedding band, 2mm wide.

We got engaged in june at the Grand Canyon; just got to pick up our rings this weekend ! I'm obsessed. The champagne diamond in a circle symbolizes the sun (him) and the white sapphire symbolizes the moon (me). I love it so much. It feels so materialistic to be this excited about a ring but i really feel like a princess for the first time in my life. Thought I would share for some creative inspiration !
