As above really!

We are just starting to look into engagement rings and I would love some inspo!

Thank you 😊

My beauties, which are unfortunately not matched by the state of my knuckles which look really swollen. They've been that way ever since I gave birth, for no reason I can see, and never went back to normal!

All platinum and brilliant cut diamonds. The engagement band has a lovely crossover seeing.

I do have a soft spot for an emerald too: there are some lovely ones pictured above.

@YouBoggleMyMind and @LittleOldLadies thank you 😁 it’s a Tanzanite. Always asked DP when the time was right that was what I would like. Bless him he remembered.

Loving the Haribo ring, I’d have been quite content with that

Here's mine. 9K Band.

These are all so pretty 😍 I love jewellery. Just don't have the bank balance to back it up. 😊 I also love seeing what people choose for their partners or for themselves.

Mine in no way match at all but I love them. I don't wear my engagement ring very often though

Lovely thread!
Here is mine, the "rocks" are from a family heirloom that was split. (Don't ask, sometimes people do have the best intentions...)

Here's mine. An oldie but a goodie.

I adore this one. I do love coloured stones and this setting

Can't say I'm impressed with my hairy fingers now

This is mine! He designed it with the jeweller and managed to create something better than anything I’d ever seen. I’m very soppy about my ring.

Emmivee · 06/05/2022 23:09

This is mine, well, sort of. We couldn’t actually afford an engagement ring at the time, so DH bought me this for Christmas a few years later. I love it, though initially thought it was a bit garish! Suffragette inspired ring though so what’s not to love?!

heavyistheheed · 06/05/2022 23:15

Here's mine 

OP I love yours, the delicate details on the sides are gorgeous.

And @ObjectionHearsay love love the ruby. That's my birth stone so I'm always checking out ruby rings 🤩

Have you thought about checking out the jewellery section of antique auctions? I have seen some absolutely beautiful rings come up for auction and they often sell at a very reasonable price. It isn't a choice for everyone - some people don't like the idea of a preloved engagement ring - but I have often thought that if I ever needed a special ring of some kind then that is what I would do.

Only got engaged recently and love it!

Ah its not a ruby, looks similar though under the flash and lighting, it's a Mexican fire opal.

In normal daylight it's a vibrant orange with flashes of yellow, amber's and red.
