I just love a ring thread!
My DP and I got married last month, and I'm waiting for my wedding ring to come back from the jewellers as it was a little too big.

Whilst I'm waiting (and missing it!!) I'd love to see yours!

My engagement ring is one from DHs family. The only original stone is the small duller diamond in the middle. The jeweller we took it to reckoned there would have been pearls where the diamonds that we had put in were, then the holes around the edge to let the light catch the pearls. But unfortunately pearls aren't suitable for an everyday ring so we went with diamonds.

It's over 100 years old so uses a strange carat of gold they don't use anymore (I think it's 14 or 16) but it was brought home from South America where he worked for one of the mining companies (probably shouldn't admit that in these days of woke). So the colour is very warm and I wasn't sure how we would match the wedding band but miraculously we walked into a shop kind of as a spur of the moment thing and this was off the shelf and fitted it perfectly.

I love my engagement ring as its so different!

That's lovely, and I obviously like the tiny six pointed star.

Had to post again as my last pic was rubbish. I waited until my 25th wedding anniversary to get my engagement ring, it matched my Grandma’s wedding ring, happily!

Beautiful rings on this thread, and lovely stories behind them. Here’s my set. 1920s crossover engagement ring, plain wedding band, eternity ring at the bottom. Rubies and diamonds in yellow gold. Quite distinctive and I love them.

I love my emerald and diamond engagement ring, picked by my husband 26 years ago. You can tell the more recent rings, they are nearly all white gold rather than yellow gold

I no longer have an engagement ring as we needed to sell it while we were really struggling. Keep meaning to get another now things are no longer so tight, but I keep spending on the kids instead! This is my wedding ring… and if I’m honest, all that it symbolises is all that I really need.

Engagement ring and wedding ring set in palladium. Chosen at the time as it was cheaper than platinum-now more expensive. Middle thin diamond ring was bought in St Lucia on our rather belated honeymoon. Sapphire and diamond ring was my fortieth birthday present and bought second hand! I have many, many more rings but these are the sparkliest!

Here is my pear shaped beauty Smile
It's an old pic because it's bloody filthy at the mo, I never take it off!

Really enjoying seeing all the beautiful rings

Engaged earlier this year, he chose it himself and it’s bang on the kind of style I’d have chosen myself! I love it 😊

@mincepi wow is that a diamond?

mincepi · 08/10/2022 18:55

@Benjispruce4 yes a pear shaped diamond with diamonds in the band to make it look like a rose and petals from the side. I love it sometimes more than I love DH

Benjispruce4 · 08/10/2022 18:56

It’s beautiful 🤩

mincepi · 08/10/2022 18:56

I realise I didn't put lol in that last post which makes me sound a bit mean GrinGrin I promise I do love DH really! Haha

We didn't get engaged. Just married.
So here's my super simple wedding band and a gift from my DH for my first mother's day ❤️

Thank you so much @quitelikelyto I didn't actually have it made, it was in the window of a jewellers and I just fell in love at first sight!
The only issue is there isn't a wedding band in the world that would go well next to it. So I have to wear my wedding band on my other hand and chose a simple gold band to kinda balance out the bling 😆

stayingaliveisawayoflife · 08/10/2022 19:06

These are mine. I need them resized as I have put weight in my naturally fat fingers! I am going to try the ribbon trick to get them off and then will get them sorted. Still love them though.

People often think aqua but it’s blue diamonds. Sorry about the shameful nail situation!

Unusual colour for blue diamonds. Don't look anything like aqua. Look more like tanzanite

IamMaz · 08/10/2022 19:07

I wanted ones that fitted together.

Mine all yellow gold as that’s my thing
1/2 carat solitaire not the original diamond as I lost it so the insurance sourced a new one.

NC as mine is pretty unique - I work with birds and am a bit of a twitcher so for me this was perfect!
