My one and only e-ring and w-ring. I got married last year and when I upgrade in 5-10 years, I will probably keep the original emerald cut stone, which is 0.91 ct. Maybe I will put it as a sidestone in a future 3 stone ring ? I can't picture myself wearing a shape other than an emerald. It's very "me." :)

This is my one and only engagement ring. I can't ever see myself upgrading it, if only because the setting is so special to me.

Mrs. Taylor,
Both are beautiful! What happened to your original if I may ask?

My daughter had a very hard start in life. It was sold to cover her medical bills. I tried having it remade, but it hurt too much to have what felt like an "imposter" ring. Maybe some day.

Front left is the ring he proposed with, which I wore for about a year.
Front right is the ring we had made with his mother's diamond.
The back ring is not an engagement ring, but we chose it because it looked like my two e-rings combined. It was my push-present when our baby girl was born last year. :)

They're all special, and I normally wear whichever one calls to me that day...lol

I like your style! ;-)

There are several others I occasionally wear, usually to work or when I am doing something where I'll be wearing sunscreen. I can't find one of them right now, which is really bugging me, but it's one I made so if I still can't find it in a month or two I can make it again. I'll try to get a group shot of them soon. But they are all clearly alternate rings. I think this is my one and only. I don't think I'll upgrade - I may get more, but I'll always wear this one. For obvious reasons like that it really rocks.
That sapphire is...WOW!

Gorg! I love the three band look. Is it three different bands or is the wedder a split shank?

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope DD is doing well now?

What???!!!!!! :o I hope you mean you are getting an additional ring and not getting rid of your current set!!! (Not that I have ever done anything like that, of course. :twirl: )

I love all your rings, ladies! It is great to see some better shots than just the avatar pictures!

What a fun thread! I wear my 1.57ct square step cut upgrade pretty much every day. It is my favorite! I got it about 2 years into our marriage. I switch up the bands I wear depending on my mood or how swollen my fingers get! Sometimes when the colored stone mood strikes, I wear my emerald as an engagement ring, but most of the time I wear it alone as a right hand ring. On special occasions, I wear my 1ct radiant cut diamond original engagement ring. Working on another project, not a huge one, but definitely a fun one. Hope to share soon! :)

WOW! I love all three of these! How did that emerald escape me? Have you added it to the bezel thread?

gosh, i love all these beautiful rings. great thread! while i have several diamond rings this is the only one i wear as my er. it's a 2.52 ct radiant fly. i think it will most likely be my final ring. we started out 32 years ago with a .33 ct round diamond which had belonged to my husband's grandmother. when we got married hubby told me we would some day upgrade. that day came on our 10th anniversary and i got a 1.5 ct princess[kept the original ring]. it was from a mall store though and after becoming ps members realized how bad the stone really was. it was sold as a j with no cert. at 25 years we were going to upgrade through the mall store to a 2 ct but the stones they brought in were awful and we had 2 kids in college at the time. i couldn't pull the plug and ended up just getting a new setting. 2 years later we saw what we thought was the most gorgeous yellow diamond ring at our new jewelers[independant]. it was the 2.52. i visited that ring a lot, lol but whew it was a lot of dollars. i never in a million years thought i would own it but one day hubby called me from japan where he was on business and told me he had been thinking about that ring the whole flight over and he thought i deserved that ring and should go get it. :o ha, i was at my jeweler in a flash! i traded in the princess which ended up being an L by the way and now i have my lovely. :bigsmile:

Catmom, your story is so romantic - he's 1/2 way across the world and thinking about a ring, for you!!! Melt my heart!! I'd also have my credit card out so fast, the numbers would have blurred!!!

Your FLY is just one of the most beautiful rings on PS, IMO. I love looking at it and when you post, I just love your avatar! :bigsmile:
