[B]OoohShiny[/B] & [B]VRBeauty[/B] - Thank you so much for your kind words! I realize it's not going to be to everyone's taste, so it means a lot that you appreciate it as much as I do

Congratulations Ingenue!

I think you found your classic with the art deco period but also a little bit of uniqueness with the emeralds and the design!

Congratulations! It is special that your man took the time to create something beautiful but unusual to fit your personality and preferences. If I was going to vote I would also vote unique, or something a little out of the ordinary versus generic. You only live once!

 

[SimoneDi]

Congratulations! Your ring is certainly unique and pretty!

@partgypsy , I was very touched indeed at the amount of effort and time that was put in. I'm not an easy person to shop for - much less design something for - and most of my friends were totally surprised that I left it entirely up to him! At the end of the day, I trusted he knew me well enough to create something that would suit me, plus the process and time it took allowed the meaning of it to REALLY sink in I think haha

Wow! I love that he incorporated emeralds into the setting! Truely beautiful ring! Congratulations it's amazing!

 

[ingenue214]

Thank you so much @tyty333 @ringo865 @Bonfire - the emeralds were such a unique touch... he never fails to surprise when I least expect it It was a toss-up between emeralds or sapphires, and I love that both were engagement stones during the Art Deco period...it made the little nerd in me quite happy

Thanks so much for coming back with your follow-up, Ingenue. So many posters ask for help and don't return to show the final result.
Your ring is absolutely beautiful.. It's classic yet different at the same time. The emeralds are a lovely colour and add so much to the design. Congratulations on your engagement and wishing you many years of enjoyment of your ring.

Thank you so much @Garnetgirl! And yes I noticed the same before when I was trawling the site for inspiration and education - would've been helpful to see where posters ended up after being given advice! It took me a bit longer to revert - we're planning a wedding for this year so it's been a bit crazy around here - but I thought somebody else out there might find the thread useful too - there were such great tips/words of wisdom/links given to me last year

Thank you @foxinsox! I'll wear a plain thin band that fits under the engagement ring...I'd love something more elaborate a bit later but I think for now, that's plenty

So happy to see a green engagement ring! It's my favorite color.
Your ring is STUNNING. Gorgeous design, elegant execution. I hope you're wearing it with great joy.
