Can I have a look at your engagement rings?

[CannonballTaffyOJones]

My engagement ring arrived this morning and I'm so in love with it, can I see yours?

But do think about this in advance or you'll end up never wearing the two together

You say that like it's a bad thing!

I like having my rings on different hands and I would have done so even if they did fit nicely together (they fit ok but not perfectly) - I feel like both rings shine (no pun intended) better separately

These are some of my favourite on the thread. I absolutely adore this look!

I wear mine in whatever order I happen to pick them up. There are no rules.

Gorgeous thread! (Mostly.) I love seeing all the different rings and hearing the stories behind them.
Mine's an asscher cut diamond. A simple setting but a quite unusual cut, with a bespoke wedding band to fit.

They are lovely and vintage! I bought a ring like your engagement ring (though in white gold) just for the 1970s look of it.

Lovely seeing everyone's beautiful rings. Here is mine, I'm still obsessed.

No way! I’ve never seen my ring on anyone else ever. Thirty-three years for me.

Me neither! We got mine in a jewellers in Yeovil. I had waited for nine years so it was a sweet moment :). Finally wore DH down by showing him a wedding package in St Lucia with watersports and alcohol included. And no-one looking at the back of his head :).

We got mine in a jewellers in Andover. I walked past it every day on my way to work and I was terrified they would sell it before we got engaged 😂. I’d post a picture but I don’t know how.

Not a bad thing at all, but it is the norm to wear the engagement ring on top of the wedding ring, so if that's what you want then you need to factor that in when you choose. Completely accept that it might not bother lots of people either way.

It's gorgeous @Trumpton and with such deep meaning behind it too.

These are my mum’s, Victorian style.

I love mine i have platinum emerald cut diamond ring then a year later i received the tear drop ring next to it as a 1 year celebration of being engaged 🥰

My engagement ring was lost when we moved back to the uk. This is the ring dh bought me for our 25 th weddding anniversary. He chose it.

Thank you @deeahgwitch.

I think that's because old cut diamonds tend to show colour differently because the facets are chunkier as they were cut by hand. You can get them in higher colours, but they're few and far between as at some point most of them got recut into modern diamonds.

There are some beautiful and very unique rings on this thread!

Have you gone to the Jewellery Quarter in Bham?

I went to the jewellery quarter not long ago and found it hugely disappointing. Lots of shops selling generic rings which weren’t anything great. I think a shop selling vintage rings would be far more interesting.

A family member is a jeweller and does repairs if anyone is interested!

I know it's each to his own but my DIL and son have signet rings inscribed with their initials. She hardly ever wore her lovely 3 square stone diamond engagement ring which cost a fortune and hardly ever wears the signet. She's not changed her name, makes me wonder if she really wants to be married.

Thank you OP for this thread!

It’s been lovely reading all the stories and seeing everyone’s pictures of their rings.

Here are mine…..The wedding band is all that I had when I got married and all the other rings are what my husband has brought me over the 30 years we have been married. We had nothing when we got married and even today I am still mesmerised by the rings that I have. I never wear them at home only when I go out.

Love the emerald !

Thank you! I absolutely adore it.

Hubby says he will buy me a matching emerald bracelet!!!

I am very lucky as is my better half 😉

Leave her alone! You don’t need to change your name or wear a ring to show how much you want to be married to someone.

I'm divorced. I wear what was my Wedding Ring on my right hand as it was made from my own gold and diamonds before it was made into this, therefore it holds no sentimentality to me. On the top I wear a ring I had made out of my late Dad's signet rings and a London Blue Topaz stone which I chose. I get loads of compliments about them. Sold my engagement ring for scrap gold!

It's a peach coloured sapphire. Very unusual but very pretty!
