engagement ring - which one to get? (Photos included)

I need to decide which engagement ring to get: blue sapphire, diamond with stones on the ring or just plain diamond ring.

I'm looking to wear it everyday (office work). I like blue sapphire but afraid in 10+ years time I might not like it anymore. plain diamond ring would be much safer option and with just a single ring would be able to afford better quality.

cannot decide! what are your thoughts?

I love the blue one.

Definitely the blue. I love a coloured stone. Mine is 25 years old and an amethyst. Wasn't expensive as it's semi-precious but I loved it then and love it now.

I love the sapphire but I still lust after a diamond having chosen something else

buckeejit · 16/01/2022 20:04

Congrats! I like the sapphire but not dying about the setting

Diamond too small on 3

Poshjock · 16/01/2022 20:07

Mine is similar to 2. But I LOVE 1 - that blue is so striking.

Fuckitydoodah · 16/01/2022 20:34

I think the sapphire is striking.

Sparklydiplodocus · 16/01/2022 20:36

I still regret not choosing a sapphire for mine! Do it!

Viviennemary · 16/01/2022 20:38

No 2.

I like the sapphire but I really, really dislike the small diamonds set around the actual ring. That rules out number two too. So it would have to be three.

Different, and reminds me of Diana Princess of Wales

Agree with this. But pick one you love. Don’t settle for a safe option. Perhaps if you’re undecided, you haven’t quite found the right one yet.
