When asking about what she likes I''ve recieved all kinds of answers. She has said that what even I pick out will be perfect but then goes on to tell me what she likes and hates :) Her biggest thing has been she doesn''t want what everyone else has. She really like antique style rings. She''s doesn''t want a big diamond or something really glitzy and showy. She doesn''t want other diamonds on the ring but really like filigree. She hate diamonds that stick up high off the setting and big prongs. All the stores we''ve been in she just doesn''t like any of the new rings. She says everything looks the same. She''s a little discouraged and doesn''t think this will happen anytime soon. I''m hoping to surprise her and hopefully I will have found what she wants. She sounds picky but in the end she just wants a ring and to get married. Here''s what I''ve found:

It''s simple and not too flashy but still different and antiquish. What do you think?

It is lovely. It sounds as if you know her tastes well. I think I know who she is maybe...oooohhh the suspense. What kind of wedding band would you do with it?!

I think our other flyflisher is already happily engaged to his lovely lady.

Flyfishermike, do you think she''d want her wedding band to sit close to her e-ring? Because I don''t think the one you picked out will allows that.

GORGEOUS. I think you covered all the bases and I personally LOVE that ring. It reminds me very much of an actual antique ring I inherited ... though your center stone is MUCH MUCH larger

. If I'd gone for a round stone I would have picked out something almost identical to that (and tried on a LOVELY one). GOOD WORK! (hand pix pls when you get 'em!!)

As to the wedding ring not being able to sit flush ... there are ways around that. You could find, or have made, a curved wedding band that would work with that e-ring ... or mix-n-match with a similarly styled ring that has a small gap between the e-ring and itself.

ETA: what I love so much about milligrain & filigree, is that it really makes the diamond POP. Provides a interesting but not "in your face" backdrop to the centerstone. TEXTURE. Glimmer. And then WHAM - ROCK!!!

Thanks for the support. Finding a wedding band is the next step which she''ll be heavily involved with. Luckily I have some extra funds so if I need something specially made up it shouldn''t be a problem. I''m thinking a simple thin band with some filigree that bends to fit the e-ring. Something kind of like these:

It''s fabulous. I love, love, love it. I adore antique rings and this one is no exception. My grandmother had a e-ring that was similar. She wore of very thin pave band with it. there was a gap but I always loved how it looked on her. A curved band would look nice too and I''ve seen a lot of antique sets that do that. Congrats, you did wonderfully.

I think given all the criteria you were given, its a perfect choice. Very pretty, classic yet different. I also like the low profile. And I agree with her point that having a high setting is not a good thing. My husband knows I don''t like high rings also. They tend to get snagged on things.

Perfect choice!

Lovely setting. It sounds like it will be perfect, based on what you said she likes/dislikes. Congrats! Hand shots after you propose please!

Hey all, thanks for your support and good words. Things went great and she loves it!!! I asked up our favorite canyon in the mountains, overlooking a beautiful waterfall. She was caught off guard and surprised and more importantly she said yes! We''ve been dating for a few years so we are having a short engagement so the big day is July 27. We need to get it upped a half size and then I''ll post so hand shots. We are going to look for a wedding band and I''ll post those as well. For those that asked, it is an antique ring that I found through an antique ring dealer on the net. The ring is even more beautiful in person and the diamond is even better than I''d hoped. Thanks again.
