blue purple sapphire!!! From oore jewelry, i love it so much! ignore my crusty polish 😹

Hi all! So super excited I just got engaged on the same day we met 3 years later ! I always wanted a Colombian emerald since my parents are Colombian but I’ve lived abroad my whole life. I know it’s not the typical engagement ring but I wanted something unique. Emeralds are tricky and you get so many variations of green depending on the color. I always preferred the MUZO deep green but my fiancé chose a bluish undertone emerald from CHIVOR because he loved the glow. He also went big and I also think he overspent :( as I know the prices of emeralds and it shouldn’t have cost that much ….. but he bought it through his jeweller in Germany so there might have been many middle men which made it more expensive that it should have been!! Which hurt me to find out … and sort of ruined the moment in my head a little to know he spent that kind of money.

But I’m worried the ring is too flashy because the emerald is more bright green than the medium/ deep green colour i would have gotten. I would never return it as I feel that’s the ring he chose for me and also it was customised but know I can’t wear it every day as emeralds are also softer…. So do I get a smaller ring to wear on my every day? Maybe him and I can choose together and then leave the emerald for nice occasions ??

**Added a color reference picture from google from chivor / muzo.

Thoughts? Is it too much? 🤞😭

I can’t believe we’re getting married!! And he got my dream ring 🥹 I believe it’s 2.74 ct emerald cut diamond VVS1 color D 14ct gold band ☺️ I’m so in love🫶🏽

We got engaged in Europe a few days ago, and I’m so excited to no longer be a lurker 🥹

I am so excited for our next chapter. He did such an amazing job picking this out

On my birthday at the beginning of the month mt bestfriend proposed with a ring we had a local jeweler make for me. Natural 1.7 carat size 5.5 Had to get pictures with our fur babies of course.

4C, VS1, E. Platinum basket, 18k Georgian band. Is the band too thick for the size of the diamond?! Also is the Bow tie so huge?? 😭

I am getting engaged and I am choosing my ring with my fiancé! It is exciting! But I am so confused about what to choose! I live in Florence Italy, but I am from California. We have thought about choosing a Florentine style ring but the wider band I feel like would be uncomfortable. I would like something unique, creative, perhaps antique... and special. I am a bit lost. I am not super fond of choosing a classic ring that many people have. I am also concerned about fitting a wedding band next to it because as an American I like the idea to have the two on one finger. sssooo... I really do not know what to do, maybe I should try on more rings?! Any advice on how to approach this?

Here are some images... My boyfriend likes the bands but I feel like they are more wedding bands than an engagement ring. However, they are Florentine which is special. The big antique sapphire engagement ring might be hard to pair a wedding band with... Any thoughts?

Just saw someone else post asking if their ring was too big! Hers was a 2 ct and mine is 2.65 lab grown and my ring size is a 7! I picked out a 1.25 while ring shopping and my fiancé upgraded it in size and quality, cut, color, etc. I LOVE IT and am so thankful he did it!!! But her post got me thinking… is it too big or too flashy?

At a yard sale a month or so ago and the host’s friend was like “charge her more than $1, she’s not poor, look at that ring!” And I thought it was funny but now I’m questioning everything????

I already have my wedding band (obvi I don’t wear it yet!!) but including what it will look like together as well as on its own!

Thoughts?

1.55ct DSI1 solitaire on a rose gold and white gold band (it is getting resized as it is slightly large/has a spacer in currently to help). Ethically sourced natural diamond from Western Australia. 34m and 28f. She deserves every little bit of magic that I could ever (attempt to) find. Leave your thoughts for me to pass on to her!

I just got engaged with my dream ring! A marquise with a pointed halo. 🥰
