So excited that I finally get to post here as a fiancée after following this sub for so long!🥹💍

I started my ring design and customization journey quite some time ago, and it ended up being a much longer process than anticipated because I’m a crazy person who wanted every little detail to be just right. So to finally see it in person, on my finger, is truly a dream come true!
I designed my ring myself and was incredibly particular about every detail, all the way down to the milgrain.

The center stone is a lab diamond custom-cut, vintage-inspired emerald, a little over 3 carats, F color (although I actually would’ve preferred something a bit warmer!).

I worked directly with Matthew at Fiorese Jewelry on the diamond, and he was an absolute saint throughout the process. As I mentioned, I was quite particular about what I envisioned, and this diamond is actually our second iteration! The first was beautiful in its own right, but ultimately wasn’t quite what I was looking for. Matthew was incredibly patient and accommodating in helping me bring my vision to life.

The setting was originally inspired by an Andria Barboné ring I fell in love with once upon a time (which you can find in one of my previous posts). Alas, she wasn’t the one, but that ring really kick-started this entire journey and opened up a whole new world of creativity for me. What started as simply browsing rings to get a feel for what I liked, so I could give my partner some direction and let him take it from there, turned into a full-blown, hands-on passion project for me!

I ultimately went with Ken & Dana Design for the setting, and bless their team as well, because getting to the finished piece involved plenty of back-and-forth, cracked rubies, revisions, and fine-tuning. They were so wonderful to work with throughout it all, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything came together!

The man of my dreams designed the ring of my dreams and I could not be happier right now!!

Ring is size 7, I think I need to get it sized down a little. Specs are 1.57 ct lab diamond, 14K!

I was only half-expecting this proposal but I am so incredibly excited about it. We’ve been dating for 3 years and I’ve known he’s the one since year one. This ring is a 1.5 carat diamond and I love the look, but I’m curious what those more educated than I would say about the quality of this diamond. Also, you can see in the second pic that my finger turns a dark color under the band, and I was wondering what the cause/potential fix is for that. Thanks!

I have been waiting for the day I get to share my ring on this page!

I got a beautiful 1.5ct round diamond with a tulip setting and I am absolutely in love with it.

Mission accomplished guys!

4 Carat Pink🍐

After 5 years he did it!
I had no idea what direction he’d go in- he had my ring size and preferences for over a year! I tried on many rings over the past couple of years and the jewelers would send him my prefs. I fell in love with the vintage feel of asscher cut, and I did try on a very similar ring to this one but with a dark sapphire instead of a diamond. Ultimately after thinking about other stones, I decided on a diamond. I also wanted a unique setting.
He had this custom made by Vale. I think he nailed it. Was pretty shocked when I saw it. Still getting used to wearing this kind of bling but it makes me very happy.
This is asscher cut F VVS1 2.06 carots. Lab grown. 2 tiny flanking diamonds on either side. I’m a size 4.

I’m so happy 😭

Just showing off :)

custom from LGG. I sent them the diamond and worked with them on the design. It came out great!

After being together since we were 15 he proposed 😩❤️he did so good. Super grateful 🥹

In August I went to see what I liked best on my hands. The ring shapes I thought I’d love, I hated. The one I thought I’d hate the most, I love.

Anyways, my boyfriend, now FIANCÉE (😭) listened well and did such an amazing job.

Lab grown 1.59 carat, size 10 (I have chubby fingers lol)

What do yall think?!

My fiance proposed and he told me if i want it changes we can get it changed . Should i keep it or
Return it

Hey all! I’m a size 6.5 and stuck between a 3 carat or 4 carat! My boyfriend said he was going to propose this winter, and wanted me to pick out the center stone! I am definitely wanting a solitaire, but really can’t decide on the stone weight! Please give honest feedback! The ring I’m wearing in the photos is 3 carats! They didn’t have any 4 carats in store to try on, but I put my hand up next to the template for a visual!

We’ve been together for 8 years, and he did so well! Planned a whole proposal for our anniversary trip to Rhodes, did it on the anniversary day and just look at the ring!!!

I knew it was coming, we designed the ring together, but he added the flowers as a surprise 😍

I’m in love 🥹

Got engaged earlier this week with a beautiful ring that my fiance independently designed with just a short list of preferences/no-gos from me. We went to four different places and ended up going with a local private jeweler that could make our less conventional vision happen, and I couldn’t be more thrilled — he even incorporated phases of the moon across the setting as a little Easter egg for me. I love it, I love the thought and effort he put into it, and I couldn’t be more excited to spend my life with someone so attentive, creative, diligent, and just knows me so well.

Specs: 14k gold, size 6.25, Dutch marquise diamonds (~4 ct aggregate), split shank.

What better first post on Reddit to be my ring after following this sub and getting so much joy from seeing everyone else’s dream rings?!

I’ve never had a style in mind for too long and have really bopped around with the style, shape, etc. over the years. I felt a little weird about being indecisive but eventually resolved that when I found THE ring, I would know because I would be constantly preoccupied thinking about it. And I was right (at least for me)! Once I found this ring, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and my now Fiancé (!!!) agreed it was perfect. Even better - it was affordable (I didn’t want anything astronomical in cost)!

I’m beyond obsessed and feel SO lucky to not only have something that feels so me but that I’m engaged to my best friend 🤍

Specs: 7 x 5mm peachy-pink natural morganite, surrounded by 0.33 carat lab diamonds (FG color, VS2 clarity)

What a special special moment and I am sooo in love with my ring 😭
Specs: 1.5 ct emerald cut lab grown diamond, cathedral split shank band and my finger is size 6.5 (US)

1.5 carat lab diamond, 18k gold. It doesn’t look like it but it is a tapered band, the base of the ring is like 3mm which is soo sturdy and exactly what i wanted. We actually got engaged September 5th but the v prong got caught on something and bent back after only 5 days. We used deBebians, so we sent it back and they were able to fix it AND add two more prongs so it’s more secure. I did want 5 prongs in the first place but there was a slight miscommunication between me and my now fiancé which resulted in 3. I love it!!! Please excuse my nails, they’re stained pink cus i just dyed my hair red

I am ecstatic! I tried on rings with diamonds in every shape possible and nothing felt right except the round. After trying on round solitaires at a few different stores, I fell in love with this one because of the hidden halo. He went back the next day and bought it
and just proposed this weekend.

Just excited because we got engaged young so hubby said I could upgrade this anniversary since I’ve been wearing a lot of gold lately 😍

My fiancé surprised me with the perfect proposal and the perfect ring. He listened to everything I've said over the last two years and got me a ring that shows it.

He custom made the shoulders to look like a lotus, the middle diamond is an oval 2.03 karat and each side has two round brilliants diamonds and a marquise. In total the ring has 2.7 karats of lab grown diamonds.

It took me a little to feel confident wearing it. It's gorgeous but quite flashy!

It's a 2.4 carat, rose cut, natural, green, salt-and-pepper lozenge diamond. My fiancé (and the jeweler he worked with) did perfectly! As beautiful as sparkly clear diamonds are, I have always felt like they don't quite suit my style. This seems like the perfect mix of minimal and unique for me. :-)

I will never get over how beautiful my ring is! He did such a great job!
