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!

Sorry to say but so many of these rings look so tight and Il fitted

Possibly because people put on weight over the years, or have arthritis, or puffy fingers due to pregnancy/hormones, etc. And rings cost a small fortune to be resized. I was quoted £80 for one of mine to be made two sized larger, just a very thin 9ct gold one.

I think lots of people would rather wear their precious engagement/wedding rings than not, even if they're a little tight!

Wow @MzHz my dream ring. Is it white gold?

Annie1234567890 · 10/10/2022 10:52

Mine are simple I wanted just a solitaire diamond so he picked well - platinum ring with a 1 carat diamond in a Tiffany setting which means a wedding band can sit flush against it -plain platinum wedding band with 2 little diamonds

I posted earlier on this thread but this is the other combo I like to wear, same wedding band and engagement ring but then the square diamonds which were my gift from DH on the birth of our first son and then a ring I had made from my mother's two engagement rings, diamonds and sapphires put into white gold. The jeweller also added a diamond earring down the side of the band as I lost the other

@thenotsoeviltwin

Simple creature here too who eloped to Gretna. Just a white band.

Loved Gretna, we had 6 people incl our 2 kids. The rings kept with the simplicity of our wedding. I love the absolutely stunning rocks and rings on this thread-some are incredible. They're all precious.
But I'm glad for my simple plain white band, mostly cos I think I'd have accidentally knuckle-dusted someone by accident!

How do you bend your fingers?

Iamblossom · 10/10/2022 13:50

@quitelikelyto oh it's this amazing invention, I think it's a reasonably common place practice, you use this thing called a knuckle, most people have one on each finger:

"a part of a finger at a joint where the bone is near the surface, especially where the finger joins the hand."

I find mine work a treat. ;-)

Todays rings are the vintage band and OMC platinum solitaire.

Please keep the ring photos coming! It's like catnip to me.
This is my 'feeling jazzy' ring, worn with a thin diamond band.

Double wow @lovelyjoe!

NCFT0922 · 10/10/2022 17:32

@lovelyjoe i don’t understand your emoji? Doesn’t it mean embarrassed? If so, why? Don’t you like it? That style has been popular for a few years now so if it was chosen without your knowledge, your husband probably went with the fashionable choice. Have you discussed it with him?

Slightly hostile comment. Why?

magimedi · 10/10/2022 19:44

I speed read the title of this thread & thought it said: "Show me your minge" !

NCFT0922 · 10/10/2022 20:16

@pocketvenuss i didnt mean it to be hostile at all. Apologies if it came across that way. I was making an assumption on the emoji used and trying to reassure PP based on my assumption (which may be incorrect)

plainoldgray · 10/10/2022 22:37

Love the thread. Love the rings. All so different. Love all the nails too. I had to hide mine Blush
Here's mine. They're a bit boring looking but they were all we could afford. The gold came out a weird colour in the photo.

toucaninjapan · 10/10/2022 22:53

Mine are probably the most understated in this thread 😅

Littleheart5 · 10/10/2022 23:07

@plainoldgray yours are some of my favourites here, not boring at all! I love the yellow gold, and not that it matters, but they look more expensive that you’re giving them credit for!

PinkButtercups · 10/10/2022 23:26

First one is my engagement ring and the second one I recently got for my 30th Birthday. A stone for each of my babies 🥰♥️.
