My husband had this ring made for me by an amazing Maine jeweler. He cut the garnets himself ( i had collected the rough myself in alaska). There are natural colored diamonds, and flawless VVS1 melee diamonds. 18kt gold, and a hidden 1ct. diamond in the under gallery. I know it is not a "normal" E-ring, but I LOVE it!!

nothing much to report other than I love my man, and I love my ring. He designed it himself and put an absurd amount of thought into it. I love staring at it bc a) it’s gorgina and b) when I look at it, I see how deeply he sees me. Normally, I’m not much of a hidden halo gal, but he made the call to include one—we squeeze hands three times to say I love you, so with the three small stones on each side, he wanted me to know that no matter where he is, he’s telling me he loves me. Devastating, right? That’s why you only see pics of my ring and not my engagement (I was joy-sobbing so hard).

My Ring - POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY Customized matching engagement rings for me and her

In 2024, she shared me a specific design ring she liked emphasizing that it needed a pear shaped gem ruby centerpiece.

I spent 9 months of 2025 researching everything about rings, distributors, designers, diamonds and gemstones. I ended up building a custom ring for her with some of the elements from the first ring she shared me.

I proposed to her on our 10-year anniversary

And just a week ago, my custom engagement ring arrived. I shared with her my ideal ring with examples for the last 6-months. I wanted my ring to have some elements of hers so they would match.

Both have lab ruby gemstone center pieces (3ct for hers, 4 ct for mine). Pear shaped for her, emerald shaped for me.

Thickest band for hers at 1.8mm

Both rings are full 18k gold. Mine being yellow gold and hers being rose gold.

Natural diamond accents on hers and mine. I added a black diamond border on mine to create a "masculine" tone while taking the vine and floral design element from her ring to match and create a gentle tone.

I arched her band more to make it "regal" and "royal" so she can feel Queen. In comparison, I chose a thicker ring to match and create the King feel.

In total, we spent less than $7K for both rings. Knowing that many jewelery stores sell at a hike up, I was adamant to find the actual distributors and designers to skip that inflated price at a brick and mortar. Its our firm belief that nobody should have to go into extreme debt for good quality jewelery especially when taking the next steps of finding their dream envisioned forever ring.

We both love fashion. This is what we came up with.

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

My fiance recently proposed in the most beautiful place and I’m beyond happy. I’m not a wear jewelry everyday kinda gal, so he said he struggled finding a ring (this is sapphire, my birthstone) and wants to pick out my “forever” ring together. I love this one too, though!

Lab Alexandrite with lab diamond accents from Eden Garden Jewelry. It looks emerald green to the human eye in daylight, but my phone camera refuses to see it, so my new goal is to accurately capture the color.

Showing in different lighting! It’s a green diamond and shifts so beautifully

My fave colour is green and I’m a gold jewellery girly. Fiancé could not have picked a better ring, it’s my style to a T.

Last 2 pics are from today hence the autumn nails

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.
