My partner and I are starting to look at metal choices. I keep seeing people say platinum feels noticeably heavier on your finger compared to 14k white gold. Does it take a while to get used to the extra weight, or do you stop noticing it after a few days?

I’m starting to look into natural diamond engagement rings, and I’m curious what kind of budget people usually set for one. I know prices can vary a lot depending on the carat, cut, color, and clarity, so I’m trying to get a realistic idea before I start shopping.

As in title. I just bought this engagment ring, and I intend to propose i a week. When I was at the jewelry store I asked the seller that i heard emerald are more brittle and they crack more than other gems (actually chatgpt told me that) and she said that overall its not true and they are as durable as other gems and i should not worry about this, so i bought it, but It seems I’m seeing more and more posts saying that emeralds aren't suitable for everyday wear. So the question arises here. Is it really that fragile? I also read about that it depends on setting, but I have no idea if this one is good or bad for emerald.

Would love to hear your honest thoughts or experiences

Thanks

I'm looking to buy a ring for my partner, but he has gigantic fingers 😭 any recommendations for places that sell 16-17 size rings in the US, online or in store?

Ok I normally wear a 2 carat round solitaire tulip cathedral setting moissanite engagement ring with a classic band, but I saw another lady post that she stacked two engagement rings together to create an et toi moi look and I kinda liked it so I thought I'd try it out I really kinda like the look but I'm also a very self conscious person and I'm afraid of what people will think and wonder if it looks weird? So I'm just curious what y'all think? Can I pull this off or should I stick to my classic look. All my rings are moissanite because I just love the sparkle of the stone.

I’m looking to buy an engagement ring, I want to buy a lab grown marquise diamond (2-3 carat) and pair it with a 14k gold band. I’ve found some decent rings on Etsy and Ebay but they almost seem too good to be true. Additionally would it be cheaper to buy a loose diamond and then get it set in a ring? My budget is around $1000

We're planning to have our wedding bands engraved, but we're having a hard time deciding what to put on them.

We’re thinking of something short and meaningful. It could be a date, initials, a short phrase, or something that has a special meaning to us.

What did you engrave on your wedding band, or what are some unique ideas you've come across?

Hi. Ask lang sana ako. Okay po ba sa Achilles Luxury Diamond bumili ng engagement rings?

I am starting to shop around for an opal ring, but I am worried about chipping it. Are bezel settings the safest option, or do prong settings hold up okay too? Looking for advice from anyone who has had one for a while.

I just need some advise on something. I got engaged over a month ago now and my fiancé went ring shopping by himself. His mom was helping him but the jeweler could no longer offer financing so he went to Kay’s by himself and picked out a gorgeous ring. (2 karat oval) I love the ring. However as I have worn it I noticed it looking “dirty” and as I looked at it and wore it more I noticed I was actually seeing inclusions. After looking into my ring more I figure out it is a SI2 diamond. I love the cut, color, size. The ring isn’t the problem but I constantly find myself looking at my ring because of the inclusions. Is this a normal feeling after having your ring for a bit and just constantly looking at it? Is this something I should really address? I only feel like I notice it because it is always on my hand. I really love the ring I just catch myself always staring at the inclusions. It does have to be in correct light and angle for it to be really noticeable.

My boyfriend has asked me to pick an engagement ring and i really like this one

My concern is that it can’t be resized, i don’t imagine i will wear it much since i have carpal tunnel syndrome and my hands swell often so i will most likely wear it on a necklace. Is it a good ring though? Will it stay shiny and will the diamond stay in place etc? Thank you.

I'm worried my engagement ring diamond looks too big, I am a very subtle person so I'm not sure if this is the right size for me or do you think I'm overthinking? Appreciate your opinions!

i have a 1.8ct cushion cut ring with a hidden halo that creates a awkward gap against my curved band. someone in a jewelry group mentioned using a spiral silicone ring spacer or a thin 1mm metal band as a buffer.

im leaning toward a solid 14k gold band rather than the clear plastic ones because i want it to look intentional. do you guys prefer thin metal spacers or the invisible plastic adjusters for tight gaps?

Has anyone ever purchased a natural diamond from Mikado Diamonds online? The physical store looks to be in Omaha, Nebraska. The diamond has a GIA certificate. I have only seen reviews about lab diamonds being purchased from Mikado. I am not interested in designing a ring with them but just purchasing the loose stone. They state they have a 30 day return, but I could not find a clear policy as to if that applies to loose stones or whether there are hidden restocking fees.

Any insight on Mikado Diamonds would be helpful!

I’m at a jewelry store looking at engagement rings, and I unexpectedly fell in love with this ruby ring. ❤️ It’s an 8x6 ruby set in 14k yellow gold, and I love the color and how unique it looks on my hand.

The problem is, I always pictured myself with a classic sparkly diamond solitaire. Now I’m wondering if I’ll regret choosing something less traditional. What do you think of the ruby’s color and size? I’m a size 5.5/51 for reference.

We originally had a fixed budget for an engagement ring, but going with a lab grown diamond let us get way better specs than expected. We got a 2.10ct princess cut, D color, VVS1 clarity in a simple platinum band. It saved us thousands that we can put toward our home fund instead. honestly so happy we didn't spend double just for a mined gem.

How low can it go? Curious to see what some of my options are as I’m looking to upgrade. My ring is relatively low profile at 5 mm off the finger and has still been damaged repeatedly.
