AricLovesLetitia » 24 May 2010 20:40 I found my e-ring at a pawn shop. I took it to be resized and the jeweler seems very impressed with it. Well I know I am! I lovelovelove my ring and the man who gave it to me.
MxMom » 07 Aug 2010 17:46 I've been married for 12 years to an amazing guy. We purchased a beautiful setting with six princess cut stones, three down each side and then room for a solitaire. Well, we wanted to have children so we went with moissionite and said we'd upgrade at five years after we were done having kids, five years later we dealt with infertility trying to have our second daughter and never even thought of a upgrading. At 10 years we kind of forgot about it as we were busy raising two daughters, now 10 and 5. My sweet husband surprised me with a 1 ct princess cut diamond, SG1, H color. We talked about changing from yellow gold to white gold so he encouraged me to find a new setting. During all of this, we also upgraded his ring, I took three of my side stones and put them in a custom wedding band and the three stone represent me and our two daughters. While we are not princesses, he treats us as if we were. I finally got my ring yesterday and we should be getting his tomorrow.
Sorry if this is long winded. While it is not an engagement story, it is probably more special today that he "remembered".
Hoping I attach these photos correctly! They're not great but I couldn't get my canon to focus properly last night. I'm in awe of the gorgeous rings on here!
The specs are:
0.71ct E VS1 GIA Princess Ex Ex 70% table, 72.4% depth
0.2ct F VS Princess sides
with the band channel set with 1.7mm wide F VS Princess diamonds
jennyjan16 » 23 Oct 2010 17:22 My first engagement ring is from when he proposed September 2006. It has 14 diamonds totaling over 1 ct all H in color I2 clarity. He purchased it with me at an antique store.
He recently upgraded me to a new engagement ring (since we now have jobs, a home, and will be married in 3 months on January 16, 2011!) as a wedding gift. It is a vintage setting with a princess cut diamond. The diamond is 1.02 ct F in color SI1 clarity. The setting has 26 round cut diamonds totaling .4 ct. It is so sparkly! My tastes have changed since looking at all the ring forums and livejournal posts!
