Hi. I know nothing about diamonds or rings and would like some opinions! I will be proposing in one week with this ring from Ritani. Here is the link to it on Ritani's site: https://www.ritani.com/engagement-rings/channel-set-diamond-engagement-ring-with-surprise-diamonds-in-14kt-white-gold/10575

I looked at a bazillion rings and finally settled on this one because I think she wants something traditional but not boring, and something sophisticated without being too flashy. I never could find a real picture of this ring other than Ritani's stock photo, so I thought I'd post my pics here in case anyone else is googling this ring and considering it.

She wanted it to be a surprise, so I wasn't able to get her opinion on it before buying it. I ended up ordering online from Ritani sight unseen, but I am really happy with how it looks. It's a .8 carat. My only concern is that it does seem to sit up a little bit high, but maybe that is normal. I'm also 90% sure I got the size wrong, but Ritani does do one free resizing. (It is hard to get exact ring size measurements while someone is sleeping without waking them.)

So, what do you think? Sorry the pics are not great... I haven't been able to show anyone except my family, and of course they're going to say they like it because they're my family. Just wanted to get some unbiased opinions. I know the only thing that matters is if SHE likes it, but I am still curious.

Thanks!
 
It looks lovely. I don't think its too high. Shell be over the moon I bet!
 
I think it is stunning! You did a great job! I am sure she will love it :-)
 
You did a wonderful job choosing the ring! Its beautiful! :appl:

Thank you for sharing the photos. I'm always interested in seeing actual photos of a setting rather than just the website images.
 
Thanks, everyone! Your thoughts are appreciated.
 
Very elegant and beautiful -- I'm sure she will love it!
Best wishes!
 
I think it looks lovely too! I like your explanation about being traditional but not boring. I think you did a great job!

Congrats on your upcoming engagement!
 
Lol! How did you measure her finger while she was asleep?

I think it is beautiful! I also do not think it sits too high. It looks just right. Good luck with the proposal!
 
It's a beauty!
 
Beautiful ring! :love: Good job and luck with the proposal. I think she will be thrilled!
 
Love it! So pretty!
 
I think it's beautiful! Classic but with a bit of a twist. =)
 
Very pretty ring setting! I hope she loves it!
 
She will love it. :)
 
You did a great job, she's gonna love it! Congratulations!

Gorgeous ring! you did GREAT =D
Please come back with the proposal story and hand shots!!
 
Beautiful ring. It's not sitting too high. I am sure she will love it.
 
What a beautiful ring. It looks traditional, but interesting at the same time. I had a cathedral setting on my engagement ring, and I always found that it helps prevent the diamond setting from looking like it was up too high. The metal shank somehow seems to 'cradle' the diamond.
Good luck with the proposal, and please come back with some hand photos. I hope she loves it!
 
Thanks! Now I am just anxious to ask. I will try to post more pics after. I was able to get her ring size by using the string method, but I am pretty sure I overestimated the size.
 
Love the setting! especially the surprise stone!
 
It is perfect. Congrats! :wavey:
 
Its lovely & i think the proportions are perfect - its not too high at all.

Good luck with the proposal!
 
Good luck with the proposal :) post some hand shots with the ring when you can! It's a beauty! :clap:
 
It's stunning!! Make sure you post handshots, she will love it!
 
It looks beautiful and is traditional. :love:
 
Very beautiful I love it! Good luck with the proposal!
 
She'll be over the moon! Great choices. Congrats on your engagement.
 
You are going to have a very happy fiancé. The ring is stunning!
