GTKY: Let's See Them Rings!!

[cnumbers]

Whaaaah

I'm so jealous.. We keep looking at rings in windows.. There's a jewellery store closing down near us so all the rings are really cheap just now. He says he wants to propose its just money and he doesn't know when he plans to do it. Which is fine I can live with the near future knowing he wants too sometime soon is good enough for me. He keeps taking me back to look at the rings and asking how I would like him to do it (infront of people.. Just us ect) I told him I don't mind but id probably prefer just us two. I also told him I would like any ring as he would have picked it. I even dreamt about rings last night... I'm turning into a crazy lady. I guess I just want to do it right.. Baby and ring would be perfect. Also, I would like the same surname as my son.

I'm am sooooooooo jealous. They are so pretty ladies! I would love to be engaged/married. I went to my first pregnancy Yoga class yesterday and (because I ALWAYS do) I checked out everyone's ring fingers and I was the only one without one It really does make me sad sometimes. My SO is adamant it will happen but now the baby is coming he dosnt want to "rush" and do everything at the same time.

This is my original ring, the one that DH proposed to me with:


I still have this one and am trying to decide what to do with it. We've talked about making it into another form of jewelry for me, or possibly making it into a necklace/earring set for the baby's 16th birthday. Right now it's too sentimental for me to do anything with, so I wear it on a chain around my neck.

This is my current set. We went through a really rough time last year where we almost split up, so when we decided that we definitely wanted to stay together, he got me this absolutely gorgeous upgraded set (excuse the gross winter hands):

mcp6286 I love your current ring! Totally my style. I'm on about my 4th ring because I love upgrading/switching. Yours is stunning.

This is a photo from our wedding. Hard to see on H's ring but it has waves and sand on it.

Thank you! H picked it out all by himself and did a smashing job...it's exactly what I would have picked!

purpledaisy923, that's too funny. I think we do have the same

I love hearing everyone's stories and seeing rings! DH and I had been talking about getting engaged, and we went to dinner on night - by the end if the appetizers, the conversation went from when we do to let's do it! We went ring shopping the next day. We designed my engagement ring and I'm wearing my mom's original band - she upgraded a few years ago. I don't wear my rings as much these days due to swelling

[disney815]

Wow, everyone's rings are beautiful!

My rings are soldered together because I have ocd when one is slightly off of the other. We just upgraded last year for our anniversary!

Please excuse my fingernails... I'm a huge nail biter and pregnancy makes them thinner than usual so I just use that as an excuse to bite them down (like I need an excuse)

[baytosa2013]

Love this thread! I love seeing everyone's sparkles and different styles.

This is from our honeymoon (when they were all sparkly and clean).

[blasto!]

Here are mine! mrsdee1982, we seem to have similar taste

[turtletyme]

disney815 nail biters unite! Your cuticles look a million times better than mine though.

[alayne926]

disney815, I thought your picture was mine for a minute and I was so confused!

My engagement ring and wedding band and H's wedding band on top of the envelope liner from our wedding invitation.

[beersandweirs]

I was hoping when I got pregnant my fingers would swell a bit and my rings would fit better... no such luck yet.

[andreap525]

Oh man, everyone's rings are gorgeous! I love the mix of styles we have here on the board. None of them are boring. So pretty!

Here's mine - DH did a spectacular job. I loooove the princess cuts and the design of the ring. He had the band custom made with stones from my mother's wedding ring from my dad (they divorced almost 20 years ago). I'm a lucky gal.

[disney815]

turtletyme- my nails are just awful... The nail ladies laugh at me if I want to get anything done to them! Oh well, at least we have nice rings lol

Top is engagement ring - center stone belonged to dh's biological Mom who passed away when he was 5.
According to the jeweler, the wedding band is intended to sit on top of the engagement band but I like it better below.

[belle0720]

andreap525 cute nails!

[andreap525]

[mcp6286]

I'm so excited too!! I've downgraded myself to hobbyist because my people just don't love them like I do, but I'll never leave. But I kind of hate season change - I end up wanting to spend so.much.money! I'll be the first to admit I'm totally in it for the discount

Haha me too!! I had trouble not buying EVERY discontinued style in triplicate this month...luckily I only have to restrain myself for a couple more days!

I'll play! Don't mind the grown-out polish (I really needed to get those gels soaked off!) - canary diamonds are my fav so I was beyond thrilled with DH proposed with my engagement ring
