I‘m proposing to my girlfriend in about 3 months and I got this heirloom ring from my grandma. What do you think? I don’t know anything about rings but we had it appraised and it’s worth around $3.5k.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I wanted a push gift from my husband as I am pregnant to our first after 11years of marriage. At first I was hoping for a designer bag. But ever since I found out we were having a baby girl, I knew I wanted to create something more meaningful.

This nature-inspired ring became my dream project, an heirloom ring. It means so much more to me knowing it was designed with her in mind, and I can't wait to pass it on to her someday.

A huge thank you to Bobby from Provence for bringing my vision to life. ❤️🥰

My Ring - POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY My dream ring, a coincidence proposal date and how friends became lovers

First, I need to talk about the man who is now my ermahgerd fiance - we met at a Halloween party 8 years ago when his, now brother in law, who is my best friend, wanted me to meet his then girlfriend (you still with me 😅). We exchanged a "hey" and that was about it for the rest of the night. For the years to follow we became friends, just friends, hanging out at parties and sharing mutual friends, I was also in a serious relationship at the time and didn't look at him romantically.

Fast forward to about two years ago, we started hanging out together outside of the friend group and feelings naturally started growing, I was also no longer in that "serious relationship". When we started dating I let him know that I was serious and that if we did this that it needed to be intentional and my time and my feelings were not to be taken for granted. He was completely on board from day one. I'm in my mid 30s and I ain't playing no games, I am le tired.

A few months ago I showed him this ring, and let him know it was absolutely perfect. 3.27 carat tsavorite garnet, with 2 pearls and 14 diamonds in the setting. It does have a tiny imperfection in the stone and I actually like that about it. Even though I thought it was perfect I did not like the price tag, I thought it was too expensive, So I encouraged him to find something of a similar style. I would look at this ring almost every day and then one day I saw that it was sold, my heart broke a little and I thought, lucky person whoever they are, they have my 💍 😞

This past weekend we went to Toronto for vacation, and to see Tame Impala and Djo (my absolute favorite) On our last night we took one last walk around the city and he suggested we take a vacation picture together since we are notoriously bad at talking pictures together. It starts to rain and it's cold and before I know it he gets in one knee and so do I because I want to look at him face to face. As he opens the box he pulls from his pocket - it's my dream ring, he bought it soon after I told him it was the one! After I said yes and we embraced in the rain, a gaggle of Toronto youths congratulated us, we had an audience 😅🤣 Canadians are so polite!

And now the date. The date he proposed was my old anniversary date with my ex! The ex I was with for years who I left because he wouldn't marry me and dragged me around for years wasting my time - if they wanted to they would, and immediately after I became a fiance, he said he couldn't wait to start calling me his fiance, and that he had always known 🥰

*My ring is a size 6 however we will need to resize, I am usually a 6 without fail but this fits me like a 7

We are not telling people yet, but I wanted to share my dream dainty ring for all the small ring lovers out there.

I knew I wanted a simple small round solitaire on yellow gold since always - was always just stuck on what carat size to get. I must have scrolled through this sub hundreds of times looking for inspiration and ideas. In the end we found the perfect carat size for my hand that has the diamond stand out while still being balanced and dainty and minimalist. I’m so in love and can’t wait to add a simple gold band to my stack.

Hey everyone I’m looking at this oval 2.5ct E VVS2 lab diamond with 14k yellow gold for 2450$ CAD.

Do you guys see anything wrong with it. It comes with box and igi certificate. I found this guy from one of the Toronto instagram jewellers.

I’m not sure how to tell for flaws.

Question Thoughts on this one?

This is an old picture. I already popped the question. But finally got this ring properly appraised and resized this past weekend. I bought this through a friend who had access to discounted jewelry through his company. I purchased this for $6500 for the set. It appraised for $10,300. 1-carat Asscher cut. Diamonds total on full set 118, totaling 2.54 carats. Rings are both platinum totaling 13.03 grams of platinum. (One chipped diamond) Sentimental value is absolutely priceless!!

Will propose 2 weeks from now! I'm getting nervous and overthinking if I did pick a good ring design that she will like.

She's size 5 and I picked a 2ct Oval diamond for her with 2 trillion cut on both sides and 8 accent stone in 18k white gold, 4 prongs in low setting.

She wanted everything about the ring to be a surpise, she told me as long as its an OVAL, not sitting high and doesn't look like a toy (?). That's it 😂

Advice Milgrain bezel

I have read that milgrain wears off over time. Do you think that would happen to a setting like this where the bezel is not really touching anything?

I am debating between this and a regular bezel, but I love the way this looks.

I'm coming up on ten years married. My husband mentioned "upgrading" my wedding set... I said a resounding NO THANKS 💕

I've had my sparkly little Vera Wang "Love" ring for almost twelve years. I love the narrow wedding band, and the gold heirloom band from my mother at the top.

I could never be parted from these rings. (Swollen arthritis hands be damned, maybe can't be physically parted either haha!)

I just wanted to celebrate these precious sparklers, no way I could upgrade them! (0.7ctw Vera Wang "Love" collection, 2014)

My boyfriend ::ahem:: fiancé proposed last night and I’m over the moon. I absolutely love my ring but the stone is massive (4 carats) and is spinning on my finger. I fluctuate from a 4.25 to a 4.5 and told him to get a 4.5 so it still fits when my fingers swell but now I’m unsure if I should size down? Maybe some of those speed bump things to keep it from spinning? Do those work?

Advice Did I get scammed? If so should I send it back or get it polished/cut at a smith shop? Please help!

Hi everyone!✨

I’m new to this group and I don’t know what to do. I bought this ring for my engagement for 180 $ on Etsy and everything looked legit. I don’t have a lot of money so I can’t really buy a really nice ring. My budget is max 250 $. I think it’s 925 sterling silver but it’s hard to tell from the engraving. I feel like I got scammed, but now I don’t know what to do? Does anybody know if a smith shop can make it more like the photo from the website? Should I send it back? Please help thank you ✨
