You can only have ONE ring, which one would you keep?

Been thinking about this idea and curious to see what others would pick.

Here is the scenario, you are embarking on minimalism and you decide to sell or gift all of your other rings and only keep one engagement type ring or statement ring if you aren't married, bands don't apply (I know some of you have a lot though!) so you can keep whatever stacking bands you have but only the one main ring.

What do you keep? If you have a picture please share it. Also it can be a gemstone ring or not have any stones at all but you can't keep a gemstone AND diamond. Only one ring!

It would be my "big" diamond. Not big by PS standards, but big to me! It's a G SI 1.10 MRB. It's the biggest diamond I have, and I'll probably never be able to upgrade it, so this is my pick. IMG_20190608_095027802.jpg

Oof this is hard. If you really forced me to choose I would keep my engagement ring no question. The centre stone belonged to my grandmother. I have a picture but it's very very filtered. What can I say? I am an abuser of filters sometimes lol. Someone should take them away from me.

I can't answer this question. When I was married it would be my anniversary ring. Don't have that ring, and no longer married. But I do have a number of rings I have personal attachments to, including a couple small rings from my yiayia that even if I do not wear often, would not sell.If you asked about favorite ring, I think that answer may change over time as well...

Thank goodness the question only states one RING. It would be my ten-year anniversary e-ring upgrade in my avatar. However, this question also leaves the opportunity to keep my diamond pendant which has my mom's first e-ring diamond...and I'll want to keep THAT to pass down to my daughter.

the one in my avatar photo b/c it is from my hubby. before that one, my answer would have been the ring from my aunt b/c it was a gift from her....but now it's a pendant so i guess i get to keep both in this scenario? those are my 2 sentimental pieces.

@partgypsy, I totally get it, when there are pieces that come from a family member it may be impossible to pick one since they are irreplaceable sentimentally.

@jaysonsmom, yes you would get to keep the necklace! See I'm not totally heartless lol! Gorgeous avatar!

@bludiva, yes to the sentimental pendant, is the ring in your avatar a Dahlia setting? Kind of looks like it, either way very beautiful.

Thanks @StephanieLynn it was made by a local jeweler but the basket is kind of similar. Those 2 pieces are the ones i'd try to grab in a fire if there was time after securing the people & animals =)

This is a question? ::) I know 3 stone rings in general, and mine in particular, probably aren't everyone's cup of tea. But my ACA beauty is thoroughly to my taste and I'd have a dozen different three stones in all different sizes, metals and gems if I could! In the meantime, tho, I'll settle for this beauty.

I have to say, tho, my opal 'Merry' ring and my 5 stone ruby and diamond antique ring battle it out for a close 2nd

Well, close...ish... :mrgreen:

@diamondringlover, love your five stone, they are so great because you can wear them alone or stacked and they look great either way.

@bludiva, thought it looked like a Dahlia, happens to be one of my favorite solitaire settings. Love that floral feminine vibe.

@distracts, what a beautiful blue and love how you have it stacked there, it's like the perfect blue for a blue sapphire.

@mrs-b amazing three stone, if you are going to have one this is the standard to model from.

@elle_71125 that glow is amazing and as paraiba are already sought after they will become harder to find and replace if you even can down the line.

@Mamabean Libby is so fabulous and you could still keep your awesome band collection to change up her look!

@kenny that Octavia is amazing, you have the first if I remember correctly?

@bling_dream19 I am still waffling between two of mine but honestly it's just so fun to see everyone's choices.

Thank you! It certainly changes with the light but when it’s on, it’s on! And I can honestly say...no filter on this baby (just pure glow).

BTW, Your Octavia is one of my all time favorites! :kiss2:
