engagement ring *flash*

Hi ladies, well, I got my engagment ring back from the jeweller and now it fits like a glove (if a glove had only one finger).

I thought I would use it as an excuse to flash, would love you all to flash yours (if you a man, please flash your b2bs). I know this gets done every couple of months but I never get sick of it. Maybe you could also include a line or two about how you got it/picked it...

This is what my fiance chose for me. It's vintage and I love it. I am a big vintage fan you see and he knows it. He proposed on one knee with the ring, in Trafalgar Sq in September last year. I was shocked, even though we had been together for 9 years!

    This is mine that my OH lovingly produced last christmas morning, I couldnt have picked better myself! It's platinum and so so sparkly I love it so much! the only thing was that plain wedding bands looked daft next to it and so I had to buy a sparkly wedding band too, oh well! ? Only 6 weeks left before I can wear them both together! x

    Hi Ladies,

    I love looking at all of your fab rings. I am in love with my ring, my H2B took me ring shopping this time last year and proposed to me on Christmas day last year whilst home with my family. Finally found a wedding ring that fits flush with it and we are collecting it on Saturday... so excited!! ?

    I'll post properly this time, couldn't do anything from my ipad last night.

    I will have been married for 10 years in May. This August my house was burgled and I lost all my jewellery including my wedding rings and a ring that was left to me by my grandmother which was worth a lot of money. I have just this week replaced my rings and they're all nice and sparkly so I want to show them off!

    First is my engagement ring. It's very similar to the stolen one although that had plain shoulders. This one is platinum with 0.51 ct diamond and diamond shoulders. I'm having a wedding band made to match the diamond shoulders on the engagement ring. Just a regular round one, as the stone is high so it fits nicely underneath.

    The second picture is rings I wear on my right hand. White gold and tanzanite. The tanzanite ring is the same design as the one I lost, although that was yellow gold so I'm glad I was able to replace it with something almost identical. Just got to wait a couple more weeks until my wedding ring is ready and then I'll be all set Smiley smile

    I don't think I have seen a pic of your ER and WR together - it looks awesome.

    Do you want an eternity ring Kharv?

    Thanks Kirst!

    I honestly don't know! I deliberately got a plain wedding band as a diamond one seemed to look too much next the ER. Plus the diamond in the ER obscured a few of the diamonds in the WR.

    But then the girl in me says 'Diamonds! I want more diamonds!!' You know, as you do.

    Lea - this is a beaut! Absolutely gorgeous! My engagement ring is set with diamonds down the band too, and also had to get a diamond covered wedding band - shame isn't it?! x

    Good nails Mini.

    I don't think I have flashed mine before (only 6 months too late).

    Mini, I disagree... you can NEVER have too many diamonds!!

    I think it looked lovely with the first ring too, although maybe would have been better with slightly smaller diamonds in the WR... although it looks gorgeous after too! Love your ER!

    This is mine - we picked it together after OH proposed...

    i love it and think the square is just the right size - i did try the bigger one but it just looked far too big for my fingers x
