DH-to-be has asked me for ring preferences. I vaguely know what I like but it'd mean a trip to Hatton Garden just to be sure. I find searching online a bit tiresome.

Would you mind uploading a photo of yours? 😍

This a mine. I had my wedding band fitted around it. I’m all for simple and discreet

No's 1 and 3 were bought new, no 2 was from an antique place. These are as close images as I can find

I don't plan on getting engaged or married again but I love the style of engagement rings and would love to one day treat myself to something like this:

Joking aside some really gorgeous rings on thread

@Loveatortie friend of mines other half proposed using a haribo ring - spur of the moment and absolutely fits with them as a couple! She had it preserved in a Perspex box thingy

[quote ssd]@PinkSparklyPussyCat, what nail colour is that, its gorgeous[/quote]
It's Bio Sculpture gel and I think it's called Tessa.

It's not actually an engagement ring since we didn't get engaged and I bought this a few years ago as a gift to myself from dh. I still love it though.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 15/11/2021 22:20

This is mine

TommyShelby · 15/11/2021 22:20

This is mine. Garnet for my daughter, emerald for DH and diamond for my mum. All my important people.

The ring was also my grandmothers so the diamond is original and we replaced the other two. I have them in some earrings 🙂

I can’t believe the state on my hands. This thread has really made how bad they are stand out. Bloody dermatitis.

Beautiful rings though! I love how everyone’s styles are different.

@Blackmagicqueen I think @HalfCakeHalfBiscuit might have been taking the piss Grin

mrsfeatherbottom · 15/11/2021 22:41

@MrsLighthouse

Two diamonds …meant to represent us both.
That's almost identical to mine which is an exact copy of DH's grandmother's ring, designed by his grandfather (a jeweller) in 1940. I don't suit solitaires so it's perfect.
Ilovemytwins · 15/11/2021 22:43

I love mine! I like unusual engagement rings, and I love emeralds. Smile
