Ring ring

[Dumbles]

Honest thoughts on this please!

Love it!

That is gorgeous . It looks fabulous on.

I specifically chose a vintage ring for my engagement ring because I didn't like any of the modern ones I saw but I liked a lot of the vintage ones.

Classic and pretty. I wouldn’t change a thing about it.

Get some strident, dissolve a tablet in half a wine glass and drop in the ring for about 90 mins. It will clean up beautifully with a very soft toothbrush. It will double the sparkle!

It's absolutely stunning but I can't imagine wearing a bobby dazzler like that every day! Looks like a super special occasion piece to me but I've never owned fine jewellery so it's not my area of expertise.

Thank you everyone! I purposely took the first pic not on my hand as I was interested to see if people would think engagement or a general ring. Also slightly less identifying haha. I definitely appreciate the cleaning tips as I’m sure it needs a very good clean.

Any ring can be engagmenty enough. My current wedding ring is a flat 20 pound ring and i love it

Well YMMV - you are obviously not worried that your rings look too engagementy, but the OP is..

Was going to post exactly this!

It looks lovely on your hand

I would wonder how a wedding ring would sit alongside it without it looking clunky. It’s a lovely ring though.

Love it. Would totally wear that, although I’d want it in platinum/white gold as I don’t suit yellow gold.

Beautiful. I absolutely love it as it is.

My rings don't look engagementy to me. I don't know what other people think if they notice.

I don't the OP's ring looks like a ring marketed as an "engagement ring". It's a nice ring.

I married in the early 90s. My wedding and engagement rings are 18ct yellow gold. DD 18 was only saying the other day that silver/white gold/platinum are going out of fashion after I said she'd probably change the bands when she inherits them one day.

It's absolutely beautiful but I'm biased as my engagement ring is aquamarine! And gold isn't 'dated' by the way, how silly, yellow gold is making a comeback.

It's beautiful, it's very vintage and it's not contemporary at all, which some pp consider to be dated.

I think it makes quite a unique engagement ring, rather than choosing something stereotypical.

Go for it , OP.

It's beautiful. I adore vintage rings and prefer coloured stones to classic diamonds. It looks really pretty on your finger.

@Dumbles if it was mine I wouldn't change it , I think it beautiful and you say it's s family piece think of all those who loved & wore it before you

It’s beautiful. I love gold,I have a warm skin tone so silver is too cool.

It’s lovely. Please don’t change it as it will no longer have its history. Just needs a good clean and maybe a polish.

It's beautiful, and looks gorgeous on.

Ah congratulations!
I was going to say I love the ring but it's not very sparkly - needs a good clean.

I'd treat yourself to a trip to the jewellers to have the setting checked & give it a proper clean, it'll look brand new.

You've had some good advice on the thread but definitely take it a reputable Jeweller for a clean and to check settings. First picture main stone looks like an Opal. On your finger, more blue! Congratulations!

It is a lovely vintage ring, OP, but it looks really special on your finger. A great engagement ring!

I think we are all biased towards the metal of our own rings. Yellow gold and white gold/platinum have been cycling in and out of fashion for over 100 years. I was the tail end of the last yellow gold trend in my home country; it lasted longer on the Continent than in the UK and the US.

Having said that, perusing any upscale fashion magazine or jewellery store will show that yellow gold is very much coming into its own again, and I def think it suits this ring.
