And tell me how much you love them!

Here’s mine-very plain and boring really, but still love them to bits!

Loving all the different stones, styles and stories.

These are mine. All 9ct yellow gold.
All 3 are family heirlooms. My wedding ring was my great nans, my eternity ring was my nans, and my engagement ring was my mums.
I'd worn my nans ring on my right hand for many years. Then when we got engaged I got my mums ring. I was then offered my great nans ring during the engagement.
I wore the eternity ring and engagement ring on my right hand the day of the wedding, then in the car on the way to the reception, then went back on my left hand.
I know eternity rings are usually given for a significant anniversary or birth of a child, but I was pregnant on my wedding day, so it felt appropriate to wear all 3 together. Plus I love how they look all together, and it means a lot that they go in order- great Nan, Nan, mum.
They never ever come off, not even during my pregnancy. They mean so much more than any new rings dh could have got for me.

Plus they are my style, and pretty much what I'd of liked dh to get anyway.

I love my engagement ring. We bought it in Dubai.

Here's mine, yellow gold and cabochon cut Paraiba tourmaline. Another one whose dp had it made. I won't be wearing an additional wedding band, just one's enough for me :)

@happymummy12345 what a lovely story behind the rings Smile

Both of my rings are titanium. I liked the colour of the metal (a subtle dark grey). We've been married for 18 years now, but at the time I remember it being fairly unusual to have anything other than yellow gold for rings.

@LittlePenguin9 that is gorgeous. I'd love a ring like this, me and DP have been looking but can't find anything like this apart from in photos. Do you mind me asking where you DP had it made? (He has FABULOUS taste!)

LittlePenguin9 · 04/03/2018 09:40

@RavenLG - Sadly I have no idea. I believe it came from Birmingham's jewellery quarter but as for shop - not a clue. It was handmade so I assume an independent jeweller but I don't know much more. Sorry 😬

Your ring is lovely, minibunz.

putadiamondonit · 04/03/2018 15:50

I love these kinds of threads! It's amazing how different everyone's are and they're all beautiful. Here's mine, DH picked it himself and I LOVE it. Rose gold with a chocolate diamond. We went in to get it sized after he proposed and got the wedding ring there and then. Just as well as we got married 4 months later!

These aren't my original rings but I've been wearing them all the time for about 5 years now. Silver and moonstone.

Love mine. Had to be completely different to my first as I was widowed and it was very poignant to get another ring. And @Iris yours is so unique and pretty

Here are mine. Engagement ring is platinum with 1ct princess cut diamonds and my wedding ring is actually an eternity ring that we bought to use as the wedding ring. It’s also platinum with 0.5ct princess cut diamonds. I absolutely love them.
