To ask your opinions on this engagement ring?

I'm considering this ring but with an aquamarine stone instead. Do people think this will work? Is it to over the top?

I don’t wear much jewellery so am very lost!

An engagement ring will get a lot of wear. I would seriously consider hardness of stone and whether you mind it getting scratched and worn down. Aquamarine is not as tough as diamond, sapphire or ruby, but tougher than garnet or opal.

My thoughts exactly. Congratulations OP!

Lovely rings but both very big. Do you want to be able to wear it every day? I’d be worried about scratching people with a ring with sharp edges, but you might have a job where that isn’t as much of a concern.

If you don’t wear jewellery much then that’s way too big. I used to wear rings quite a lot and the ones that did my head in were the ones that protruded too much. They catch on EVERYTHING.

I like the sapphire one too like pp. Congrats!

I like the sapphire better, but both are lovely and a great change from the ubiquitous diamond solitaire in white gold/platinum (of which I am an owner, but if I did it again it would def be something much more exciting.

Do you like them? They're quite statement if you're not sure.

I love it not over the top at all

Fraaahnces · 15/09/2024 03:31

I love them both… I’m especially partial to aquamarines so the one on the right is my favourite. They’re both utterly beautiful. Congratulations!!!

It will be on your hand everyday so you choose something you like, what anyone else thinks isn't really of importance! Your hand! Your ring! Your choice! :)
