The Forum Engagement Ring Folder/Eye Candy

[Sue Larkins]

Just received my new engagement ring this afternoon! I was blown away when I opened the box! I am engaged to my high school sweetheart. He bought me a pearl ring in yellow gold just like this one 45 years ago, so that’s why I chose this style. It has SO much sentimental value, plus I just love how feminine and “pretty” the setting is.

Gorgeous and huge congratulations!

It is beautiful! Will you pair it with a band? Love the sentimentality of it too! Congratulations!

Yes, when we get married I will have a band made to match.

Well, leaving all that stuff in the drawer isn't an option either, is it?

Ooh @Octave, will you show us a photo of how you wear your rings with your new spacer please?

Of course @Bonfire, I‘m just waiting for a sunny day! Diamonds need sunlight!

Hi @Bonfire, not as sunny as I wanted, but maybe good enough!

 

[Octave]

And all together look like this!

 

[Bonfire]

Ooh! I really love the first two photos in particular @Octave. The new spacer allows both solitaire and eternity to really shine. Wow, Gorgeous. That’s what my rings want to look like when they grow up!

I inherited my grandmothers engagement ring from 1936. Platinum old cut stones.

Lol. Ty! It is same diamond. 2.90 gia E si1 in a solitaire setting.

May I ask a little about the setting? I am waffling between a solitaire with diamond studded setting, or a solitaire in an elegant setting like this in platinum--I know, two different ends of the spectrum. Would you be willing to provide more pictures of the ring or details of the band with, etc. for inspiration ? Out off the hundreds and hundreds of solitaire settings I have looked at, this just seems to have the right proportions (and I am not a knife edge fan and this doesn't appear to be one). Thank you!

Unique and beautiful! How nice that you're wearing her ring.

Thank you so much! I won’t do it, but would love to have some rubies in there.

Hi All! I think only this place would understand how excited I was when now Fiancé said let’s go look at engagement rings after almost 12 years together! He’s not the surprise kind of guy so I didn’t expect him to do an elaborate proposal.

I looked for nearly a month before settling on a Verragio Rennasiance setting. Special ordered the setting, a wedding band and a natural 1 carat but ended up getting a slightly bigger 1.04 G VS2 XXX HCA 2.2 with Arrows. Not sure it has hearts as it was already set and doesn’t really matter at this point as it’s my first diamond ever and it’s beautiful!

Don’t see much Verragio settings on here so I’ll be sharing my pics.

Yeah, I understand but don't. Have it cleaned and the stones checked, then buy an affordable costume ruby piece to wear next to it. See if it scratches the itch.

Anytime you want to send us more photos or a video. That's such a piece!
