Pretty much identical to my engagement ring, though mine is now 38 years old.

FunkyFringe · 26/12/2025 18:50

Gorgeous and timeless. Congratulations.

Cat1504 · 26/12/2025 18:50

It’s lovely

susiedaisy1912 · 26/12/2025 18:50

Love it. 😻

HelenaWilson · 26/12/2025 18:51

Very pretty, and not so big it will get in the way or be annoying.

Snooks1971 · 26/12/2025 18:52

Congratulations!

Eenameenadeeka · 26/12/2025 18:53

It's very pretty. Congratulations on your engagement!

Sunshineo · 26/12/2025 18:53

Do you like it? That’s what matters

Snooks1971 · 26/12/2025 18:54

It’s lovely OP.

Has it moved though - there’s a mark nearer your hand that looks like a ring marking, if that makes sense. Maybe it’s slightly too big?

I really like it!

TheTowerAtMidnight · 26/12/2025 18:55

I'd have got a bigger diamond and a thicker band, but you do you.

Bushmillsbabe · 26/12/2025 18:56

If you like it then it's the right ring?

I really struggled to find a ring I liked, I'm not normally fussy, but I had a clear idea of what I wanted and just couldn't find it anywhere. So we went to a jewellery designer and got a custom one, which was no nore expensive - when we had it valued, it was worth 2k more than we paid for it! I love it. Shame it lives in my drawer as I can't wear it due to being a health professional 😂

With hindsight I think I placed far more importance on it than I should, the marriage is the important bit, rather than the ring.

Congratulations on your engagement

Seacatt · 26/12/2025 18:57

Same as my one!

historyismything82 · 26/12/2025 18:57

It's beautiful. Congratulations.

FreddysFingers · 26/12/2025 18:58

Gorgeous

Isayitasitis · 26/12/2025 18:58

It's lovely!

christmassytimeagain · 26/12/2025 19:01

The only thing that matters is if you like it. I personally prefer a bigger diamond but it’s a classic

aquaaerobicschaos · 26/12/2025 19:03

What you think is what is important, it wouldn't be for me, I prefer yellow gold and would happily pay toward it to get a bigger stone but a stranger's views mean nothing and what you think is what matters ( you will be wearing this for long time (hopefully) so you liking it is very important.

RuudGullitOnAShed · 26/12/2025 19:03

Beautiful - almost the same as mine and I got engaged 34 years ago - classic style and I still love it after all this time.

PortSalutPlease · 26/12/2025 19:06

Personally, no. But it’s whether you like it or not that counts!

BoarBrush · 26/12/2025 19:08

I don't like it either, too small for my big hands. But all that matters is whether you love it.

Helpwithdivorce · 26/12/2025 19:09

It’s a bit disappointing isn’t it? But if you’re happy with it that’s all that matters, which I assume you are since you chose it

LAX12 · 26/12/2025 19:10

Why would anyone post anything negative on here? I think it’s beautiful, congratulations!

Saracen · 26/12/2025 19:10

It's lovely. Congratulations!

VoltaireMittyDream · 26/12/2025 19:11

Congratulations! I think it’s lovely. 💍

Bedroomdilemmas113 · 26/12/2025 19:11

I don’t understand why you’d post this.

Nobody can really say no without sounding like a bitch, so you’ll only get people responding who actually do like it. Why do you need that kind of false approval from strangers on the internet?
