To ask your opinions on this engagement ring?

The stones are beautiful if a little large. For a worn everyday engagement ring I would recommend a rub over or channel set ring. That way it won't catch or scratch. Congratulations. 💐

For something a bit similar but with fewer snagging issues, what about this?

A visual feast!
And unfortunately a clothes-snagging, thread-catching, scratch-causing pain in the bum.

If that doesn't bother you, it's beautiful. Not my thing...but understand why you love it.

@NeedingAGoodNap i love both, but what’s most important is what you love. Like you I don’t wear much jewellery but have absolutely loved my statement engagement ring since DH popped it on my finger years ago! Yes you can get fluff in the prongs, no it doesn’t get caught on everything, no my clothing isn’t snagged left right and centre. It’s lovely to have something different from the same old diamonds that 80% of people seem to have too. PP make excellent points about checking the hardness of aquamarine if you’re wearing every day.

If you’re having to ask it’s probably not the one for you. IMO they’re both just slightly too big, I’d need to take it down about a quarter or third of the size for everyday wear. If you’re going that big then I’d go less fussy - see Diana/Kate Middleton’s ring, massive but simple. Sorry but you did ask for opinions 😅 they’re beautiful but not very engagementy - doesn’t have to be a diamond solitaire (doesn’t have to be anything of course) but these just look a bit ballgown-y for everyday wear.

Too big if you are wanting to wear it for every day. Also, check it with a wedding ring on too. It's probably too big to sit together nicely on your finger. A trilogy or even 5 stones would be more practical for everyday wear (if that's what you want)

Every piece of clothing you own will be snagged!

They look like 'cocktail rings' rather than engagement rings.

Not an everyday ring imho, more a dress ring for special occasions. Think about practicality - do you want to wear it everyday?

Think they're both stunning! Practically I agree with others they will snag on everything if you're wearing every day that might become annoying.

I really like it but I am someone who wears their engagement ring only for special occasions but every day

I love them both- as previous posters have said, you go with what you love as it'll be on your hand every day - the aquamarine looks stunning 👌

Aquamarines need cleaning a lot. Most of the time they look like dirty diamonds. (Personal experience )

Its beautiful but not practical, depends if that bothers you?

It is objectively quite large and quite ornate. The question is whether that is right for you.

Some people have pared-back, some have simple, some have larger/more ornate, some have oversized/unusual designs.

What is your style?

If you love it, it is absolutely fine. And congrats!

Congratulations on your engagement.

The rings are beautiful but I think a sapphire would be a better choice. Have a look at a lighter sapphire. Ceylon Sapphires are pale and I think would sit beautifully like this one.

ultimately if you love it go for it

i strongly prefer the second ring on the little finger assuming both are sapphires.

mine is way less raised/ pronounced than that and the prongs do still catch on things mostly fabric I find fluff on prongs frequently.
maintenance is going to be £ and you’ll want good insurance.

I believe aquamarine is softer / easy to damage so you’ll need to take a lot more care

I think it would be gorgeous, but yes perhaps get stuck on stuff a lot and I'd be wary of the aquamarine not being strong enough to wear day in day out for decades.

Would you wear it every day or just when you're dressing up a bit?

First: congratulations!

As others have said, a ring that size and design will catch on everything - hair, clothes, random things you don’t expect. And with the tendency to catch on everything comes the increased risk of damage and stone loss. It’ll drive you nuts if you’re not used to wearing jewellery and will potentially end up sat in your jewellery box.

As you’re going for a coloured stone, check if it has been chemically or heat enhanced - some treatments can wear over time and the stone change its appearance.

Pretty as a dress ring

For me I think something ''clean" and simple for an engagement ring ....solitaire diamond every time

I have an aquamarine pendant and the stone has worn terribly. It's dull & scratched.

Just a thought.

I prefer the sapphire but both are gorgeous. If you like it, then go for it.

Congratulations. If you don't wear a lot of jewellery you'll not appreciate how annoying that ring will be. It will catch on everything. My friend has a ring like this and it drives her mad. It's not a style I would pick and the setting doesn't look very refined and it seems set quite high which adds to the 'catchyness'.

I love sapphires so I would pursue your thought process on this, just maybe not that ring. Personally, I think something smaller amd better quality, always looks classier and more timeless, even if you went for the same sort of cluster style.

Not to my taste. But that's fine, because I won't be wearing it. If you love it then get it.

This is exactly what I was going to say. Mine didn't even stick out half as much but the fucker still caught on everything in sight😂
