i think i just picked my engagement ring!

Sarah, on May 13, 2019 at 8:29 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
So I’m planning to propose in about a year (once I finish grad school and start working full time), and about a week ago my partner and I talked about her ring preferences. I was able to come up with this list from the conversation:

1. Yellow or rose gold
2. Round, oval, or asscher cut
3. Not diamond (at least for center stone)
4. Maybe sapphires
5. Detailing on band is +
6. Maybe three stone setting
7. No bezel
8. Simple (most rings we looked at together were “too much”)

after scouring jewelery store websites, Etsy, overstock.com, and everywhere else I could think of to look, I found an incredible Etsy shop with the PERFECT styles for her and narrowed it down to two!

I obviously don’t have to decide yet, but what do you all think?

    Love this, don't know why but I'm getting major Beauty and the Beast vibes.

    It is really pretty!

    One thing you must ask the seller though is how the gemstone is held in place! It does not look to have prongs that are easily visible so you want to make sure there are some or else you risk the gemstone falling out at some point!

    I really like the second one! The infinity band without the diamonds looks better to me. They are both beautiful, though! I’m sure she’ll love either!

    Now that you mention it, I definitely see it! The setting is kind of flower-shaped 😊

    Thanks for the tip! I’ll be sure to ask before ordering. I’ve been nervous about the idea of using Etsy, but this seller offers lifetime cleaning, polishing, and repairs/stone replacement for just the cost of shipping, which makes me feel a lot more comfortable.

    The shop looks good! They have a lot more reviews on their other shop too.

    Some other things to keep in mind:
    -Take a picture of their policy with their logo in view. Like where it says about lifetime warranty. A shop can disappear really fast and this way, if you have any problems, you can try your best at contacting Etsy and hope they will honor something.
    -Even if they tell you that the prongs are not necessary, look online! They may tell you something and it make perfect sense to you, but search online about the durability of using prongs. I had four prongs on an old engagement ring and one broke and I almost lost the diamond. I literally looked down at the right time!

    This was my biggest concern and why I chose not to go through etsy. That's great that the seller offers all of that, but that the same time, jewelry stores are a lot more permanent than one person. Just something to consider.
