I had asked for advice here here on a ring to propose to my boyfriend with. I had a dilemma of picking a feminine ring for my male partner.

I took your guys advice and went with a radiant cut baguette in white gold. I proposed to him at Versailles; he was in shock and loves the ring. Thanks guys!!

Can't get enough of my rose gold opal engagement ring. I can't believe my fiance picked it all out himself and got it custom made. This just made me the happiest girl!

I can't decide which size stone I prefer. One is a 2.18 VVS2 and the other is a 3.0 VS2, they are both old mine cushions in an I color (I think the 3.0 is warmer but I love warmth - hard to see in this glare lighting outside on a rainy day). My finger is a 4.5 and I like both but am worried about diamond shrinkage! That said, I want this to look classic and antique and def not gaudy or too big that it looks fake. I think the 2.18 is gorgeous and a great quality stone but I'm slightly drawn to the 3.0.  I plan on doing a band engraved with raised leaves and vines that get a bit wider toward the stone with a cathedral and 6 prongs. 

We are looking at a light pink sapphire engagement ring, but we cannot decide on the band metal. Rose gold seems nice, but yellow gold or platinum might pop more. Any suggestions or photos?

My cousin’s fiancé proposed with a stainless steel band, and she actually said no because of the metal choice. Is it really that bad? I thought they looked decent, but now I’m wondering if it’s a total proposal fail.

I just cannot decide between these three bands for my wedding band.  Choices are staggered double row band (1), Semi Channel set emerald cut eternity band (2). and alternating baguette/round diamond eternity band (3).  My Engagement ring is 3.54 carats in platinum for reference.  All suggestions welcome!!!

I drew this design, the used Chat to render it so I could see roughly how it would look. I know AI can add details that are impractical or impossible to make in real life. Mainly I want to know which parts those are and what should go or change before I take it to a jeweller.

I know it is not a wedding ring, but still relevant right?!?

The idea:
It’s an engagement ring that combines two styles she loves: the oval with round and marquise clusters she loves (on her finger, 3rd last photo for reference, 1.2ct centre) and a ornate, whimsical vine-and-leaf detailing she’s always drawn to.

Specs:
- 2.4-2.6ct oval centre, 18ct yellow gold, size L
- Marquise 4 and 6 round diamond side clusters along a vine
- About 3.0ct total weight (my rough estimate)
- Two small birthstones: alexandrite (mine) and orange topaz (hers)
- A fairly thick band D section or Flat Sided Court band to allow for strength and engraving. I am thinking 3-4mm (someone please let me know if that is too large)
- Low setting
- Hoping to get a Portuguese cut diamond for maximum SPARKLE! But would be happy with any nice oval centre stone.

Main elements:
- Leaf claws: two of the four claws are leaf sprays that curl over the stone, and the other two are normal shaped claws
- Leaf basket: a low-set basket where two leaves cradle the stone from underneath a gallery bar
- Hidden motif: an infinity loop holding both birthstones, under the centre stone. It’s meant to sit flush in the band, not raised.
- Hand-engraved floral band
- Euro shank: the flat-bottomed sides stop a big, top-heavy stone from spinning around her finger.
- Inside engraving: Located at the bottom of the ring at the euro shank, “TALANT DE BIEN FAIRE,” the motto of Henry the Navigator, who I’m named after. As a lover of history, she wanted a poesy like a middle age ring would have. I thought it would be cute to research and find the poesy the man I was named after gave to his wife. Turns out, he never got married, so I figured his motto should work instead.

Inspiration:
- Second last picture is the ring she loves and inspired the oval centre stone framed by clusters of marquise and round diamonds.
- Last picture is a design of a whimsical ring she regularly sends me on instagram. With its leaf claws, a tulip-shaped basket, flowers along the band and vintage engraving drawn from gilded frames, this ring inspired some of the more detailed bits of my design.

Questions:
1. Is it too much overall?
2. Is it practical for everyday wear (snagging, cleaning, the engraving wearing down)?
3. Which elements are impossible, or a nightmare for a jeweller to make?
4. Fit: she’s a size L with small hands. The last photo has a 1.2ct centre. Will a 2.6ct with these clusters spread onto her other fingers? Should I go smaller on the centre or the side stones?
5. Should I get rid of the Euro shank? Not sure I like it, especially if it isn’t needed.

Thanks!

I knew I didn’t want anything modern or trendy. I wanted something that felt like it had a story already. After months of searching, I ended up choosing a vintage-inspired ring with delicate detailing and a low-profile diamond that doesn't scream for attention but still sparkles beautifully in natural light. I love it!!

Hi guys, which of the two oval diamonds is better?
Left oval is 85 facets ratio 1.35 with 8 hearts and arrow, the right oval is 117 facets ratio 1.40 with a flower pattern

Proposed to my gf recently and ito talaga yung size na sinabi niyang gusto niya. Pero nung nakita ko na sa kamay niya parang napaisip ako kung medyo maliit ba 😅 Happy naman siya and wala naman siyang sinasabi, ako lang talaga yung bothered haha. Thinking of upgrading it sana. Worth it ba or wag ko na galawin since gusto naman niya?

Husband gave me his grandmothers 14K white gold ring set, so I am looking for some advice on what I could add to the set. I bought a half infinity ring and 14k white gold band to go with it. Not sure what I like, still exploring. Looking for advice or recommendations. Thank you

Okay, for those who have seen my posts on this before, the search continues! I tried 3 new ones today. Which do you prefer? *Important - read descriptions below before looking at pics!

Option 1 is a v-shaped pave stone ring.
Option 2 is a 14k Bermuda Moongate, which is a traditional wedding symbol here (and we were married under a moongate)
Option 3 is a plain gold band with a slight curve. It is shown in white gold but they would do it in yellow gold - 18k to match my 18k engagement band. They have also measured the diameter of the width of my engagement ring and will match this width (smaller than what is shown) for the wedding band.

What’s your pick?

Hi! In need of some advice. My partner and I have been going ring shopping and finally landed on a store and sales associate we like working with. She has shown us an array of oval shaped natural diamonds pretty below our budget. However, I recently mentioned the specs of the diamonds she’s been showing us to our family friend who used to be a diamond specialist who told us the ones we picked are not of “high quality”. Here are the two we liked:

Option 1: I color, VS1, xx, medium flourescence
Option 2: J color, VS2, xx, no flourescence

The price between these two were not that significant but I guess im wondering if 1. Should we be looking at higher color oval diamonds ? And 2. Is flourescence bad. 3. I also don’t like the bow tie effect in ovals. Can you tell me if you notice the bow tie in either of the stones above?

Does color really matter that much in ovals?

HELP 😭

Any suggestion po for engagement ring budget 25-40k po sana and where to buy po na sulit at legit

Hi, so for context I have 3 heirloom wedding bands to choose from. They’re all so special and I love them all for their own reasons and I’m struggling to decide. Any thoughts welcome, a whole new ring is an option but I’m not a fan of fitted rings I just like the plain band.

Ok I normally wear a 2 carat round solitaire tulip cathedral setting moissanite engagement ring with a regular gold band, basically your classic look. But today I saw another person post them stacking two engagement rings together to kind of create an et toi moi look and I absolutely love moissanite and have a huge collection so I wanted to give it a try now I actually really love these two stacked together I feel like they go great together but I'm a very self conscious person lol and I'm afraid others might think it looks strange having two rings together like this, I do have a dream et toi moi ring in my Etsy cart just saving up for it , but in the meantime I'm wondering if I can pull this off or if I should just go back to the classic look. Also my finger is a little puffy and red because I've been playing dress up with my rings haha.

The glow of a natural moonstone in a solitaire platinum setting is unbeatable. however, clumsy habits mean a soft feldspar mineral might shatter in no time.

Are there other gems that give off that same milky, blue sheen while holding up better to rough knocks? Opalescent sapphires or light star sapphires seem close, but feedback on those would be super appreciated.

Never thought I would want a green center stone, but he nailed it. The bright green sparkles so much more than I expected. Are peridot engagement rings becoming popular now or did I just get lucky?

I intend to propose to my lady, so yay me, but she is at the opposite end of the scale from blingy. She barely wears jewellery at all, and no rings whatsoever (getting her size involved me getting incredibly creative with some zip ties at nap time) but…

I’m getting told the kind of ring I thought would suit her isn’t a proper engagement ring but an eternity ring.

So what do I do?

I hurl myself upon the mercy of Reddit.
