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? 😍

Aqua marine in yellow gold. An upgrade for my 50th.

Lovely. I like so many of these rings, and yours has real understated elegance.

I love these threads! My engagement ring was made by a lovely Belgian jeweller and then my wedding ring cast around it at the Jewellery Quarter.

@PickupaPenguin8 I got it in Reginald Davis, a little old fashioned but absolutely gorgeous jewellery shop on the high street in Oxford. Smile I’m so so happy with it - I saw it and fell in love with it and then DH couldn’t find it, so I ended up trying on loads in another shop none of which I liked anywhere near as much, then we went back to RD and he found it for us!

GreyPaw · 16/11/2021 18:00

Thank you @AryaStarkWolf. It's by a lovely goldsmith in the UK called Rachel Jones.

Gensola · 16/11/2021 18:00

@artisanwilde yours are stunning!

NotMyselfWithoutCoffee · 16/11/2021 18:11

My Ruby.

It glows pinkish/purply in the sunlight, I love it.

What stone is that @LadyWhistledownsPen ? It's a stunning colour.

Just at a look at the shop online. They have some gorgeous stuff. Thank you! Glad you got the ring you wanted.

@zarene it's an Emerald.

Eaumyword · 16/11/2021 19:26

Love these threads, I enjoy looking at each and every ring!
Here's my main one and my backup one! I stopped bothering with a wedding ring long ago.

Chambersandchocate beautiful ring! What nail polish colour is that?

Graphista · 16/11/2021 19:43

I really thought I wanted coloured stones but they really didn't suit me.

Yes - I had the reverse I though I wanted/would suit a classic solitaire which was my first ring but really I'm better with a coloured stone. Everyone's different

I also messed up on the wedding ring side as I've got small hands and short fingers and the combination of 2 rings with not thin bands meant some discomfort and I ended up wearing one or the other and rarely wearing the 2 together

Another really beautiful ring btw

@1forAll74 my first fiancé certainly had fairly strong opinions - but conceded it was me had to wear it. My ex h had a very firm idea re wedding ring he didn't want a plain one he wanted a particular engraved pattern to honour a beloved relative he'd lost.

@Margotshypotheticaldog sadly no.

First 2 were returned to ex fiancé as my parents told me that is what you're supposed to do.

Last one got thrown at ex in the garden during an argument during the marriage breakdown (his infidelity) and was lost. Only reason the wedding ring wasn't was cos I wasn't wearing it at the time.

Sold the wedding ring for a paltry figure (gold really isn't a good item to sell) for money for food in aftermath of split from ex - who had emptied the bank accounts!

Very much regretted throwing the engagement ring at that point as it would have got a decent amount of money!

@Bell25 were you at the W on The Palm? 😅

Well I can see why! It’s a show stopper!
Eaumyword · 16/11/2021 20:00

Thanks! It's an antique mine cut cluster - not as dear as you'd think as the diamonds are a little cloudy, but I absolutely love it and the fact that it's a bit different.

ISeeTheLight · 16/11/2021 20:01

This is mine. Vintage - 1930s. Diamond and platinum. I love it. I wanted either second hand or lab grown as I'm not 100% comfortable with the diamond industry (even if ethically sourced).
