Any pser with a trained eye guess as to how many carats her engagement ring might be? It looks lovely but relatively modest.

Cool bracelets!

But where can I get her toned arms??

True! I'm liking her new haircut too.

 

[GemFever]

I just noticed it's yellow gold Makes me happy! hehehe

Maybe at the gym since you are not too old, rosetta. I think that even the gym won't do it for me! I am working on it with exercises for my triceps as well as the usual ones for the biceps, but I do not know what the end result will be! I think she is stunning! I liked the dress she wore in the morning far more than this gown, however.

This is the way I most liked her morning outfit: without the belt. Apparently the material from which the outfit was made was a men's necktie material. I really loved it and loved the way she wore it, too.

She is so stunning! I love her bracelets, too.

My guess would be 1 carat for her e-ring. It's hard to tell since it's to the side, but she's tall with long fingers and I bet her ring size is average, maybe size 5-7? So the proportions seem like 1 carat.

I need to stop comparing the size of my diamond to other PSers. I think I'll compare it to the First Lady's instead.

Really though, her set is beautiful. It looks really nice on her. And I love her wedding band!

 

[asscherisme]

I love her style, her arms, her beauty and her mission to fight childhood obesity. Can you tell I'm a big fan on hers??

My 14 year old daughter idolizes her.

Oh, I just love Michelle Obama! I found this on Oprah.com about how to get arms like hers: http://www.oprah.com/health/How-to-Get-Michelle-Obama-Arms-Michelle-Obama-Arm-Workout I already do some of these, but am going to add in the others.

I also love her engagement ring/wedding band, I have guessed it's a 1 carat stone based on her delicate hands. It seems like a very bright stone, too.

My guess would be between 1.25 and 1.50 for her center. Looks great on her and I love her in that red dress!

I think its definitely larger than 1ct. Look at her hands compared to the Presidents--she has pretty large hands. I wear a size 7-7.5 (ie petite sized man hands) and a 2ct stone looks pretty small on me.

I'd guess closer to 2 than 1.

You think? I dunno, I think her fingers are pretty slim. Here's a slide show with more shots of her e-ring. I stand by my assessment!

Ditto. I think it's between 1.0-1.25 carats.

DH and I went to the Inaugural Ball and not only did we have an amazing time but Michelle Obama looked gorgeous! She looks beautiful in the photos but her dress while she and the President were dancing was stunning.

That's cool you went to the ball! I saw her fleetingly when we went to new York, she was at the Rockefeller centre. She was my husband's Famous Person of the Month*


*my husband has an uncanny way of spotting famous people, at least once a month. The month before Michelle Obama was Philip Seymour Hoffman. It's kinda bizarre.

This article says it's a carat-- don't know how exact or reliable that is, but that would have been my guess as well.

I came across this thread this morning while wandering around PS and thought I'd add a post. I heard an interview with her a few months ago where she actually said what the size of her diamond is - and I can't remember now! But it was larger than 1ct and was somewhere between 1.25 and 1.5ct.

I don't know how often she wears it now, tho - she has at least one much larger piece, so this one may not be worn as much.

Yes, there was a PS thread about her upgrade….I think she wear a a 3 carat round or cushion cut now.

Thanks mrs-b - this appears to be Michelle's new set. A completely different look:

Michelle Obama’s Engagement Ring Got A Major Upgrade & It’s So Chic

It was a small, subtle change — so small that you probably missed it. But as it turns out, Michelle Obama's engagement ring got a major upgrade in 2017. That means the sparkler on the former First Lady's finger this very moment isn't the original…
