Let's talk engagement Rings!!

Choosing the perfect engagement ring can be both exciting and a bit overwhelming with all the options out there! Are you leaning toward a classic diamond, or have you considered alternative gemstones like sapphires or emeralds? Each type has its own unique meaning and style.

If you’re not set on traditional diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are an ethical, budget-friendly option that’s becoming really popular. They offer the same brilliance and durability without the environmental impact. For setting styles, halo and solitaire are timeless choices, while vintage-inspired designs bring a unique, personalized touch.

Would love to hear what styles everyone’s been considering or if anyone has gone with a non-traditional ring! 😊

View quoted message That is so sweet! A picnic seems like a perfect proposal!

My fiancee proposed with a surprise engagement ring. She picked it out and surprised me with a proposal on a picnic.

I absolutely love my ring and I have one picked out for her just waiting for sizing.

View quoted message Such a pretty ring!! Mine is from people's and it came as a set with 2 bands!

I feel like we have the exact same ring. Or at least mine looks super similar.

My fiancee and I had been looking at rings together more than once. I actually bought the ring (both the engagement ring and wedding ring were a set) with her there. So she knew it was coming - I just waited until December 2020 to pop the question at the steakhouse where we had our first 'real' date. She just didn't know when it was going to happen!

View quoted message Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

View quoted message I love that you want to save your original ring for your son! I hope you get the emerald ring of your dreams!!

My partner picked out my ring all by himself almost 9 years ago, on our wedding day my ring will be 10 years old so i suggested an upgrade for the wedding, he said if its happening i wont know until before the wedding because he likes to try and surprise me like that. i showed him an emerald cut for the upgrade. back 9 years ago he picked out a princess cut in a white gold band but she's seen better days, I'm actually hoping to get my current one all shined up and fixed up to save for our son when his day comes.

View quoted message Thats amazing he went through all the work of getting your ring custom to compliment your nanas ring! My fingers aren't quite as small as yours (I'm 4.75) but I also wanted to make sure I found a ring that looks right on my finger size!

My fiancé and I looked at rings back in May once stores finally reopened, but I didn’t find anything that was quite right. It was my first time trying on rings so it did help me figure out what would work on my tiny size 3 finger. I ended up sending him a photo of one I found online, but mentioned it would be really nice if it could have a yellow gold band and platinum setting so it matched my nana’s ring I inherited. Well 8 months later he finally proposed and had the ring custom made as per my specifications 😊

My nana’s ring I wear on the opposite hand

That’s a very beautiful and lovely ring Liberty!! 😍👏🏾

My fiancé picked my ring along with the wedding band. He asked me a few weeks before what style of ring I liked, I just told him 1 that I absolutely saw too much and do not like. So he was aware of that. Haha!!


So I was surprised of the engagement and ring the day of. Was so beautiful and very different for me. I love it! 💕😍
Engagement night…
With both engagement and wedding band!

I know I was so happy when he told me it had his grandmas diamonds in it. I got very close to these grandparents, and his grandpa almost cried when he saw the ring.

View quoted message It's beautiful!! I am also a big fan of clusters! It really enhances the sparkiness!!

My fiancé and I went ring shopping on valentine's day of 2021. I was showing him ideas of what I liked, with no idea he had any intention of proposing anytime soon. But I guess after like 3 months of me showing him ideas of what I liked in pictures he decided to do it as a date. We had a blast and went to every store in West Edmonton Mall and looked and tried on upwards to 75 rings. Like others, I picked a top 5 set of rings I loved but at the last store we went too, I fell head over heels in love with a limited edition ring at Spence Diamonds

I always envisioned myself with a pear or oval shaped ring with a pave band and a halo, just never thought I would be obsessed with cluster diamonds instead of one individual diamond sitting in a halo.

Although I was aware of which ring he would buy (like my reaction was unlike any other) I was still so happy and in love with my ring. Even to this day.

View quoted message That is so special he got it custom made with some of his grandmas diamonds!!

View quoted message Your ring is stunning!! It looks very similar to one I tried on and really liked!

Was a total surprise for me. The ring and his proposal...He didn't ask, nor did we ever going shopping. Its exactly what I would have picked out ❤

I had shown my FH a few pictures of what I wanted. All I knew is I didn't want a traditional ring, I like vintage/retro vibes and wanted a colored stone. He went to a local jeweler and got a custom ring made. He included some of his late grandma's diamonds from one of her rings too which just made it that much more special. It is honestly everything I ever wanted.

View quoted message Thats so special!!

My fiance organically purchased a wedding band set with three blue stones. We went to my grandmas for a visit oit of town and she asked him if he has a ring set.... he took one look at them and said "these are the ones". My engagement ring and wedding band were my great grandma's rings. Truly blessed and grateful ❤

View quoted message Such a unique ring! It's so nice having a custom ring! My ring also needed to be sized from a 7 to a 4.75!

My husband told me to leave pictures on our computer of what I like then months later told me I need to put them back because he forgot.... (Lies). He knew I wanted a custom made ring just for me, not one out of a cabinet that everyone's tried on. He did so well 😍😍 the diamond is even Israeli, as is my family. Only issue was he took a ring off my dresser thinking it'd be the right size but the ones laying there are cheap rings that are standard size 7 ish. I'm a 4.75 so.... That cost a bit to resize and took a while as well 😆.

View quoted message It's beautiful! I didn't even know hidden halos were a thing until after I got my ring! My "travel" ring is going to have a hidden halo so I can enjoy one a little bit!

Thank you! It was something that most jewelry stores didn't have so I had to get it custom done. Even she was surprised by it

View quoted message It's always good to try on rings IMO! My friend hated what she thought she wanted! The ring you picked is STUNNING! I love the hidden halo!

She didn't pick the ring but I took her to a few chain stores at the mall a few times. It wasn't so much to find out what she liked but to plant the fake idea into her head that I sucked at ring shopping. I kept suggesting some terrible designs that made her really question me It was all part of an elaborate plan to surprise her for the proposal lol.

She also mentioned how she liked certain designs that I wasn't so sure about. They weren't necessarily bad but I thought it wasn't something that suited her. Taking her ring shopping helped validate my gut feelings because she was able to try on things and see it wasn't as nice on her as she thought it would be.

Here's the ring I ended up getting her.

View quoted message Your ring is beautiful! He really did do a great job!

Surprisingly enough my fiancé picked my ring without me ever showing him what I liked. All he really asked was my ring size and I gave him one of my rings so he had the correct sizing.


When he started asking me about rings, I was a little nervous since I felt he was a little clueless when it came to rings and diamonds but he did so perfect and it is my dream ring without him even knowing.When he proposed I couldn’t believe he picked out the exact ring I always envisioned.
It’s perfect for me, simple and timeless.

View quoted message Absolutely! My ring is actually being fixed (as the diamond came a tiny bit loose after a dog jumped on me), so I just chucked this one on haha
