I love the variety of shapes and sizes in this thread!

I initially came to PS seeking information about gets rings re-set/redesigned, but I ended up finding new things to love. Whoops!!

For the last 10 years I've had this set. The stone (.74 ct, G, VS1) will likely stay, but the setting will be replaced. It's a long story, but its too clunky feeling for the stone I think and the head makes it virtually impossible to clean. Was great for a while but I am so excited to choose something I love!! It will be something with an Art Deco feel to go with my step cut :)

JMK - I adore your ring! I love rings from this era. It just goes to show that a diamond doesn't have to be big for the ring to have a lot of punch.

I love looking through all of the gorgeous rings in this thread! Here is my estate case find, 1/3carat transitional with a very small cutlet set in platinum. I wear it as a pinky ring!

I have no pictures to share at this time, but diamonds this size have an understated elegance about them. I have never been a fan of big "gaudy" looking stones. There is a certain elegance about the ones shown here that I would be willing to pay top dollar for.

Here's my vintage 1930's Jabel e-ring...worn next to 21kt wedding band.

Specs on the ring:
Center diamond is an OEC, 4.36mm diameter estimated at .35ct, small culet and small table, H/I, super eye clean.
Shoulder stones are 1mm single cuts, G/H/I.
14k & 18k gold - head is white gold, shank is yellow gold
size 4.5
total rise off finger is 5mm
hand inscribed inside with "R.F. to C.G. 12-12-39" - I love thinking about the history of this ring!

I use my hands a lot, so a low profile ring was important to me...I couldn't wear anything that protruded farther out, and even this relatively low ring is a bit high for me sometimes.







You can sort of see the inscription in this last photo.

I'm excited to be able to contribute to this thread. My beloved grandmother passed away in March of 2016, and recently her beautiful engagement ring made its way to me, via my aunt. I never had a traditional E-ring, because my husband and I didn't really have the money to purchase a center stone (in 2009) - we chose an eternity band instead because I love the look and it was a more affordable option. I always said that eventually, when the opportunity arose and we had the money, I would make a nice set set with either a three stone ring or a solitaire.

I was extremely close to my Gram, and I was really overwhelmed to receive this ring. My grandparents met in the 4th grade and both passed away this year months apart from each other, at ages 92 and 93. Their love story was EPIC, and I'm so happy to have the ring that symbolized such a great love. She had TINY fingers, so the ring is being resized, and there's a chip in the diamond, so it needs to be polished.

This is the only picture I have until it comes back to me, in about a month - the jeweler said it was somewhere between a .6 and .75 carat diamond, and I think it's perfect. My finger is a size 7 - here it is with my engagement eternity band, which is how I plan to wear it when it comes back from the jeweler's.

Violet what a touching story about your grandmother's ring. I know you must be excitedly awaiting its return. And really pretty bgd set Vengb.... I like that it gives you something special to enjoy even without tilting your hand to admire the ring from the top!

My 0.75 carat heart cut diamond solitaire, F colour, IF clarity, seen here on a 2.75 ring size finger.
The ring design is inspired by the love for music and nature: the scrolls seen in the side profile resemble "f" sound holes in string instruments, while the prongs and basket are petal-shaped. In memory of my grandmother, I have repurposed mêlée diamonds from her old jewelry for the side profile of my ring.

Congratulations on your gorgeous and sentimental piece. Wear in good health!

I was going through this thread looking to see what different size diamonds look like on different size fingers (planning a 25 year anniversary ring) and realized that there is a lack of larger size fingers with smaller size stones. I thought I would add mine to the mix so others can get an idea of what a larger ring size looks like. It's not a solitaire, but I will admit to liking a little more bling, and small rings tend to get lost on me. At the time this was purchased 25 years ago, we didn't have much money and I knew nothing about diamonds, but I think we did pretty well anyway. I love the ring and wouldn't change it for the world. Center stone is about .30ct and total for the ring is about 1.1ct. Ring size is 7.5. I don't have specs as it is an ungraded diamond purchased from the long defunct Best Jewelers.

All of these are soooo beautiful. I'm reading this thread to tide me over until my 0.52 ct pear has a setting, and I think it's only making things worse!!

Sparkle_ruckle, your heart ring is divine, and I love the band details with your grandmother's melee. Is the ring comfortable to wear?

Hi Vogue! Thank you for liking my ring! It's very comfortable to wear. Is the yellow stone in your display pic the stone you are setting? It looks like a beautiful drop of golden sunshine. Do post photos of your ring too once you get it done!
