I love looking at engagement rings. Does anyone want to share photos? It's not a boasting thread,my ring wasn't particularly expensive. Just for fun.

Mines a pink sapphire with little diamonds either side.

Flingingmelon that is my perfect ring Envy I adore blue stones

I'm feeling very sad at the moment.

3 weeks ago I was baking scones and took my two rings off to roll the dough. Now I can't find them. An 11 diamond twist that DH gave me when we'd been together 10 years (married 4 1/2 years) and on my right hand I have a ring I had made using my late mum's engagement solitaire with 3 of her birth stones either side.

I am, to say the least, devastated about the whole affair.

I picked my ring myself and I love it Smile

Love this thread! Here's mine. Had a bit of an uphill climb as DH didn't understand difference between silver and platinum when we met Wink

I would love a Tanzanite ring - did some volunteer work there and would love to have one of their amazing stones.

Just presented to me about an hour ago!! A long overdue replacement. I don't even want to take it out of the box Grin

White gold twisted engagement ring which I chose, with a £40 white gold special offer Argos wedding ring.

Had them for nearly 3 years. Love them. Although I have snapped the engagement ring once already. Its very delicate, unlike me.

Blueberry yours is so pretty and unique

MrsRyanGosling15 · 11/12/2015 23:43

Puppy that's an idea! My last one was unfortunately stolen and i thought nothing would ever replace it. It took him months to find one he thought I would like. I'm actually very impressed. This is the best thread OP

Tobermory · 11/12/2015 23:43

My engagement ring was bought in Rome where my DH proposed.

I also wear my mums engagement ring, sapphires and a diamond, on the same hand. At some point I want to have that ring reset onto white gold and possibly a different setting .

I haven't got one...yet!
Have looked through all these and they are so beautiful!

But what is an eternity ring? What's the meaning behind them?

SaltMarshPirate · 11/12/2015 23:49

This is mine. My husband picked it by himself. My wedding ring is my gran's. She was married at 18 during WWII, gold was rationed. This is her 22 carat 'trade up' wedding ring. She was buried with her first.

According to Wikipedia, eternity rings are given by the husband on a significant anniversary such as the 50th. These days it seems more common a more common gift after the birth of the first child.

Usually it has stones all the way round the band.
