Hi Ladies!
I'm so happy to share my new little sparkly ACA monster. This ring is a gift for me from me; it is NOT my engagement ring. (I hope that it won't repel potential suitors). :lol-2:

The diamond is ACA 0.505 K VS1 in WF 14k yellow gold classic 6 prong solitaire engagement ring with white gold head (size 8.25).

For the ring setting, I was inspired by this thread:


Thank you, @sugarcloud, so much for the inspiration and encouragement!
I do agree with you; the width of the band is perfect, it is thin with a soft knife edge which gives it a very elegant and dainty look, but definitely not too thin.

Regarding the diamond, I live in Europe, where the average size is less than 0.5ct, and this ring is the perfect everyday ring.
I purchased the ring online from Europe without any problems at all. It was such an easy transaction and experience thanks to Becca and her friendly professionalism, positivity, and efficiency. I was worried about the correct ring size, but Becca had sent me a ring sizer before the purchase, and the ring fits perfectly.

And without further ado:

Love this! I told myself if I didn’t get a proposal before the end of 2022 that I’d buy myself something sparkly. I’ve got a .60ct loose diamond on its way to me and hopefully a custom setting in the works soon. Who says we can’t buy ourselves something beautiful?!

Wear it in good health!

Congratulations!!!

I'm in a similar situation - bought myself an elongated cushion at the end of 2022, and I pick up the finished solitaire today. We live in a time where a woman can buy what she wants, no external permission needed. Your post was a joyous synchronistic boost for me! May we all create the memories we want! :kiss2:

So pretty! And I love that you bought it for yourself! Re: warding off potential suitors - will you be wearing it on your left ring finger?

HI:

May this be the first of many! FWIW I am 35 years married and have always bought my own loot!

cheers--Sharon

Love it! I'm in a 20-year-long committed relationship, and I have one diamond from him (we're not engaged) and about a baker's dozen from myself. Diamonds are fun — and good for you for treating yourself to what your heart wants!

What a great way to treat yourself! Other than my engagement ring, all of my other jewelry have been self-bought so I am a big proponent of self care and celebrating with what you want and love!

Good for you it’s lovely! I have a “thing” for solitaires and do not think they are only for “engagement rings”.
They are simply THE classic diamond ring!
I have a lot of solitaires and change them up frequently.
Enjoy.
