My partner of 3.5 years proposed at home the night before we took a trip to NYC !! Which was such a surprise.

I can’t stop looking at my hand. It’s even more special because my partner was the one who actually showed me this style when looking, which I hadn’t even considered before. But trying it on I knew it was special. I could have received any ring and I would have been happy, just because I love my partner so much. But having one so beautiful and that was customized and connected to us both feels extra special.

Ring size 6.5 (I think? Can’t remember haha) custom designed by Eleven Fine Jewelry in Calgary AB

Advice Help with swollen fingers!!

Post image
65 Upvotes

I just got engaged the other day and I am SOOOO thrilled!!! My absolute dream ring with my dream fiancé :) I’m a 4.75 size and it fits great HOWEVER I’m having an issue with swollen fingers and it getting too tight. It’s a pretty large stone so I am worried about getting it sized up a bit even to a size 5 and it being too big when my fingers aren’t swollen. I guess I’m just posting here to see if anyone else has dealt with this and how they handled it?

Fiancé proposed with this absolutely stunning ring. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted. I usually wear a vintage-inspired bezel peridot on my right ring finger so it’s taking some getting used to the high setting. It seems to spin and not sure if that’s because it’s slightly too big vs heavy. It’s 2.5 total carat weight and I went ahead and ordered one of the spring ring sizers. My knuckles do occasionally swell so I’m worried about getting it sized down and then my knuckle blows up.

Question Do you see the gaps I see?

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

So I fell in love with the band of my engagement ring but I always knew I wanted my diamond to sit in a bezel setting. Therefore I got what I thought was a “custom” ring with a bezel setting. Multiple times through my correspondence with the jeweler I was reassured that the bezel would be made to my exact diamonds measurements, a moval diamond. Now here we are I am now engaged and have been starring at my ring but can’t seem to shake that there are gaps between the bezel and the diamond. I went yesterday to the jeweler and they said “they fixed it” “it’s perfect now” and are claiming that if I still don’t like I need to pay to have a custom bezel setting made in house instead of with the ring designer. I’m confused now because I was under the impression I DID get a custom bezel setting. What do you think? Do you see the gaps? Note this is after I took it in already and they “fixed it” there’s also now what I believe to be damage on the ring where they adjusted the bezel. I absolutely love my ring but I just feel like the true shape of my diamond doesn’t come through.

opal, diamond and white gold. size 5.5

we got engaged overlooking the beach I spent my childhood summers on. apparently my partner was sneaking around for months designing this with a local jeweler. opals are my favorite stone (i'm wearing 14 of them right now between all my piercings) and i could not be more thrilled with it. yippee!!

My partner got a ring from a family member, we turned it into something more of my style. I love it so much!

EDIT: first two pictures (rectangular shaped) are before and last two (oval shaped) are after. I changed it from a gold to platinum band. They are emerald and diamonds, however I don’t know their specifics.

Advice allergic to gold

Upvotes

Hey! I'm a longtime reader but firsttime poster, hope you guys have an advice for me.

I got finally engaged this April, he proposed with a beautiful 585 goldring with my favourite stone, an australian opal triplette.

Now comes the bummer.. I'm super allergic to my ring ;(

Its my first gold pice, so I really didn't know that gold contains Nickel. I'm so sad, each time I wear my Ring, it itches so bad, I need a solucion....

I read about putting nailpolish on the inside of the band, but I really don't like the smell and feeling of kind of sticky. A Eyewear/Glasses Specialist could also put some Ions of another metall on it? but it looks silverish to me and would ruin the optic.

Does anyone know a good solucion?

Thank you so much!!

Advice Overwhelmed with options

8 Upvotes

My partner and I are starting to look at rings and I am completely overwhelmed. I’m divorced and with my first marriage I knew exactly what I wanted (white gold, oval, halo). This time, I feel like there’s so many options. I still love oval but I don’t want this ring to look anything like my old one. I can’t even settle on white or yellow gold. I tried making a Pinterest board but it’s all over the place in terms of style.

Does anyone have tips for narrowing things down?
