Bling, Bling! Show me the Ring!

He did a great job, Leonardia! I love the leaf-like pieces on the side!

Hey guys!

Everyone’s rings are so lovely! I would definitely be jealous if I didn’t already have the perfect ring for me! Campbell and I actually purchased my ring together, 8 months after his proposal, or I guess I should say, 8 months after we decided what year we would be married. We got it from Brilliant Earth, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s an emerald cut with tapered baguettes on either side, in total it’s almost 2 carats but the center diamond is about 1.5. This is the ring that I saw most growing up (in movies, tv shows, etc) and I’ve always idolized the emerald shape. While it’s a bit “old fashioned,” (I know, I know, everyone is hating on yellow gold this season), I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world! It’s a lab diamond, which made me feel much more environmentally/socially conscious when we purchased it. I would say the ONLY downside to having an emerald cut diamond is that it has a flat “face,” so ANY smudges, water marks, etc are visible a mile away and completely distorts the shine and luster that it has when it’s clean. I feel like such a chauvinist cleaning it constantly😓. But again, I wouldn’t trade it for the world!

Also, the gold band that I wear on my pinkie was my grandmother’s wedding ring. She’s upgraded (like most of the world, lol) to white gold, and thus passed her old band onto me. It overjoys me to look down at my hand and see the trust that’s gentility been bestowed upon me. Whenever I see them together, especially during hard times, I think about all the love that surrounds my life. I never knew that inanimate objects could give me so much respect for the past and so much hope for the future!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post, I look forward to browsing through your pictures and reading your anecdotes as well!

I'm obsessed with my ring. my husband did such a good job picking it out! all I told him was that I liked the pear shape and he ran with it

He did a great job! And that details shot is lovely!

What wonderful stories, Aubrianna! Your ring is perfect; who cares if it's "old-fashioned" if you love it! The fact that it pairs so well with your grandmother's wedding ring makes it that much better!

Everyone's rings are so beautiful!

Per usual, I'm a bit late to the party, but here is mine. This ring is one-of-one and is an old mine cut from the '20s - about 100 years old! I am lucky enough to be the 3rd person in my family to wear this ring. The original ring was in a gold setting so my FH had it reset since it was so delicate.

So pretty, McKenzie! Mine cut diamonds are so pretty and how cool that you're the 3rd person in the family to own it!

So pretty!

We are getting legally married on 5/2, but have to postpone the wedding celebration due to the Coronavirus. I'll get a teal sapphire band to add to the stack at the "second" wedding.

We designed mine together, couldn't be happier

It's always fantastic when your ring is your favorite! Beautiful ring, Michelle!

I love that you don't have the typical engagement ring! The two bands look amazing together!

That's a gorgeous ring, Anna! Such a nice memory that you two have with designing it together!

Thanks, Nicole! Yours is stunning! What will your wedding band look like? Nesting?

My FH surprised the hell out of me white gold, white sapphire, and a halo. Can't wait till I can FINALLY wear the set (I totally wore my ring upside down for the first week)
