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? 😍

@LadyCampanulaTottington

Love these threads! Such beautiful rings. Mine is a yellow sapphire and I adore it.
Love love love yellow sapphires.

@withinacceptabletolerances

Here's mine.
Oh I LOVE this one! It's like a Queen's ring from the Middle Ages.

I won't post my actual hand/ring but it's almost identical to this one

@sbhydrogen What do you want? Describe it and I can help you look (just bought my own!)

I have never known any men, who took much interest in rings,, and am quite glad really, as I wouldn't like any debates about rings. I often have a laugh , when people say they can't find a ring that they like, and moreso, when people say that they hate their engagement or wedding rings.!

My husband took an interest in his wedding ring and wanting to get a nice one, he does wear it every single day after all

@tickingthebox73 I'd love an oval yellow or blue sapphire cluster ring but with crossover detail on the band. I tried on a few today and have a better feel for what I'd like :)

Here’s mine - love it but if I could turn back the clock I’d never have spent as much as I did on it!

@Welshywitch

Art Deco design for mine
Absolutely love this. Where do you get it if you don’t mind me asking?
notforonesecond · 16/11/2021 15:50

Here’s mine with my wedding ring. As basic a solitaire as you can get but exactly what I wanted

There are some amazing beauties on this thread!

Mine is a simple solitaire, and to be honest isn't what I'd have chosen.

We've had a really tough year due to external factors. It's brought us closer than ever. I'm sort of hoping I'll be 'rewarded' with an eternity ring, so with a bit of luck he'll be getting strange jewellers' ads pop up on his browsing because I've opened all these links Wink

Like this? With a sapphire?

Pipsquiggle · 16/11/2021 16:06

Here is mine. 2 bits of advice

  1. Think about your wedding ring when choosing your engagement ring as that's how you'll wear them
  2. Try on different styles / colours - I really thought I wanted coloured stones but they really didn't suit me.

We got my ring from Hatton Garden. It was such a lovely day

I sold mine to put towards my divorce 🤪

GreyPaw · 16/11/2021 16:17

The one I had with my late husband - white sapphire.

And then the diamond I bought for myself last year because why wait for someone else to buy you diamonds? Halo

That is gorgeous and you have really beautiful hands and nails!
upaladderagain · 16/11/2021 17:16

This is mine. We chose it together, and both it and wedding ring are a mix of yellow and white gold, as I couldn't decide which to go for.
