That aquamarine one is beautiful! That's my birthstone, so I would wear that just because.

WOW! That is hot! It's kinda like Eva Longoria's ring.

Question: does it matter what order you wear your rings when you're married? Does the wedding band go first and then the engagement ring? Or the other way around?
Oh I haven't seen hers? Now I wanna see it!
The band first, then engagement. After 10 years, I pretty much only wear my band.

Ah ok..thanks! I was wondering because sometimes I see people wear it the other way and I wasn't sure.

Here's mine. I saw it, and fell HARD! Now, I just need a dude to put it on my finger...
I really like the idea of having emerald or another stone set with diamonds.

I like a simple ring like this. I don't want a bulky ring.

I'm not a ring person so I know I wouldn't wear anything on a daily basis. For that reason, a simple band would be best for me...I like some of the ones posted in this thread.
However, if he INSISTED on buying me something extra and was cool with the fact I'd look at it more than wear it, I'd like this...

DH to be knew what I wanted but still got me this one instead....AND I LOVE IT so much nonetheless!
Your DH has good taste! I want an engagement ring like that.
I would love something that is two-tone (gold and silver -- or platinum) with a large center stone (either princess or emerald cut) and smaller stones on the side . . . if anyone can find this ring, please let me know! *lol*
Here's an interesting one. Except I dont know where to get it:

I couldn't have asked for anything more. My fiance randomly, casually quizzed me over the year asking me what things do I like: I like emerald and cushion cuts, I also looooove rubies, and I like a thin band. He took notes and had this custom made: 3.9carat rubies w/ 1 carat diamonds surrounding. I would've been happy with anything, but I'm not going to argue because it's beautiful. I am also one to never wear jewelry. I was going to start wearing earrings this year lol just to spice it up and fun headbands too (but really it's usually my clothing that is artistic and expressive). So I knew that if I was going to get an engagement ring it would have to be unique so I'd want to put it on every day (as I will wear it with the wedding band when I marry as a set)
).
Now I guess we're going to have to custom make a wedding band because of it's unique shape. But I don't mind, I think it's worth it and theres' no way I won't wear it when I marry. Rubies have such healing energy and also has other great qualities that help to align the chakras (if you believe in that stuff), plus other qualities. So anyways it's staying on gosh darn it. It helps that it also is very artsy like me and I also love the pave diamonds in an art deco style. Excuse the camera phone. They never take great pic.......

I love emerald cut rings... It's not my EXACT dream ring, because it doesn't include an actual emerald or a ruby.

I'm not much for rings, I need to be able to put my hand in my pockets without getting snagged but your ring is GORGEOUS! I LOVE it!
I don't plan on getting engaged again but this ring might just be my birthday present to myself in a few years! It is SOOOO me!!!!
I'm drooling over here!!!!!!!

.... It doesn't snag surprisingly but then my fiance took that into account. Because he's a doctor, he thinks about snagging (which didn't occur to me till after), because I guess some of the ladies in the hospital complain about that ( female doctors). They hate scratching things, and/or people when they're making rounds, and often take their rings off. I know we're looking into that for his ring too, making sure that he gets a style that doesn't snag. From what I understand he also picked my dad's brain on the subject (amateur gemologist with tons of knowledge on this stuff), and also quizzed others (and read up on rings, settings, four cs, and types of other gemstones, quality of gemstones,etc). The stone sits low in the setting (don't know how to explain it other than that), and the way its set, I haven't had any problems (and I'm klutzy so I would've by now if I was going to!). So even though it's a big stone, it's not jutting out and sitting high in a setting, which helps.
I will say though when putting on clothes, or even touching a person (I am very expressive with my hands anyways) on the arm or whatever, I haven't snagged anything. I haven't hurt my nieces or nephews, or my dog cookie...or myself lol
. Which is good. Because I don't want my little ones to be cut by my jewelry (when I have them and we want children shortly after marriage). So basically the setting doesn't "snag" on top. It lays low and even the diamonds, and prongs were set in a way that if I were to run my hand against fabric even ring side forward, no snags.. However I'm sure the size might at certain angles like (putting it in and out of pockets continuously) because really that can't be avoided I guess. Overall having it set low does help a lot though.

Thank you!No I am relaxed. My stylist actually used the flat iron to do that. I am into lazy hair-care so when I get my hair done I never do anything fancy. This was some months on chlorella so my hair had really thickened up. She was loving it and decided to "play" so to speak.

I like emerald or princess cuts. Though i would probably want all diamond, my favorite color is green so i had to include an emerald stone. For those of you with a penchant for colored stones this site has a decent selection: Color Stone Engagement Rings
