I'm not interested in ever getting married, but if I were I think I would prefer a moonstone ring. Do you guys find that tacky?
Idk it's my favorite stone even though it's nothing flashy or expensive, but I think it can still look elegant if it's simple and small. I especially love teadrop shaped ones. Pic related is dreamy to me.

Personally I find most wedding rings to be a bit tasteless and tacky. Especially if they're particularly expensive and heavy on the bling. One of my old friends was tagged on the fb of this jewellery designer and they're just so stunning. Lots of nature inspired pieces. Understated and kinda unique

Sapphire. Lab-grown is a better choice because it is flawless and cheaper, and has less ethical concerns attached. The only thing is to make sure it is a dark shade of blue; some lab-grown sapphires are lighter than natural sapphires, which is not ideal. There is a historical precedent for the use of sapphires in engagement rings.
I would not want a partner to spend too much, but I'd like something I can wear forever. Putting a down payment on a house is also important to me.
>>70070There's nothing tacky about it. It's only a 6.0 on the Mohs scale, so a setting that will protect the stone is important.
>>70069Moissanite is great for anyone who wants a clear gemstone in their ring, either as the main stone, or an accent.
>>70081Honestly, I'd rather elope. I want to be married, but I have no desire for a wedding.

>>70143The sad thing is I really like "champagne" and other traditionally imperfect diamonds/stones, but there's been a big price increase recently because now they are being marketed differently (the ones with inclusions are now called "salt and pepper" or something? they'll come up with something that sounds prettier later I guess). My wedding ring has a diamond with a lot of inclusions in an off color (kind of greenish-brown) that I really like and got for cheap but I get the feeling the price for these kinds of stones is going to skyrocket soon.
I agree about ruby/sapphire being good, sapphires even come in a lot of colors including clear.
Also the stereotypical American woman demanding a big engagement ring honestly seems like just that, a stereotype. I really get the feeling that stereotype was created to push men to buy bigger rings due because they think that's what women want. I have never met any actual woman that said she wanted a big diamond.

I personally love simple white gold rings with round-cut, small solitary diamonds. I think they look elegant and much nicer when there is a nice effect to the band and less tacky than a cluster of diamonds or a huge one.
Not to mention they don't break the bank, but look awesome. White gold matches any skintone imo.

Woo a thread I can contribute to, I got engaged recently :^)
I have always told my bf/now fiance that I hate engagement ring tradition so much. It's just a huge chunk of money to participate in a rat race where girls compare their rings as proof of love. Ages ago it was traditionally the bride-to-be's birthstone set in a ring so the diamond trend is relatively new, and retarded. Pic related is similar to what I got - I always said I wanted something different, preferably vintage looking, and no more than idk €700 because otherwise I'd always look at it and think of it as money that could've been spent on a trip or experience.
I fucking love it so much though, I love nontraditional stones. It's a very dark sapphire, almost looks black in person and looks great with my tattoos. I can't believe some people ITT are so fucking enraged over the discussion though.
Also
>>70251 and
>>70142 this is what we are doing! We are eloping together in our city and going directly on a plane to a honeymoon afterwards.
We aren't huge on family because we just don't have great ones and why invite a load of people to your wedding when it will just stress you out and cost you money. On my wedding I purely want to think about my SO and any money I have I want to spend on our honeymoon.

I think I’d be happiest with something cute but basic like pic related. I obviously plan to be married for the rest of my life and I’d rather have something “boring” than a cool style I’d move on from (which would be typical of me)
I don’t care a whole lot about stones or carat specifically but I want it to be mid range price, which is probably higher than my boyfriend is thinking. We plan to elope so the wedding costs will be basically nothing - just the legal fees, no fancy venue, expensive dress, hairdresser, food/alcohol costs etc, which is normal in our culture. Also, as I said I obviously intend to wear the ring for the rest of my life, so I think it’s worth spending a little extra on it.
Saying all this, my boyfriend will probably buy me a cheap ring that I don’t like, but I’ll marry him anyway because love

The stones are like a 3.5 on the mohs scale. They are prone to fracture, chipping, scratching, and crazing (turning all milky white)
Anything that you want to wear more often than special occasions you need a stone that’s ranked at a 7 or higher.
Decent jewellers will tell you this but more and more people are neglecting to tell people that their beautiful opal rings aren’t meant to stand up to frequent wear and will likely require a few replacements.

>>70279. Hard to believe it's been over two years ago.
I still have a special place in my heart for sapphires since it is my birthstone, but holy shit did I fucking change my mind and I'm so glad my ex never proposed–not that he was going to hence why I dumped. I like that ring, but it's actually pretty cheap and ultimately not what I truly wanted. My little pickme mind back then set the bar super low in regards to rings and the amount of effort & price it would've took to obtain them. My ex was super stingy with money and spending on anything that was meant solely for me, cause he didn't want to. Deep down I knew he didn't care. Maybe I leaned more towards sapphires and simple filigree bands because they were a cheaper option than diamonds. I thought making my desires as cheap and easy as possible would entice him to do for me. Lmao, I was so naive about male nature.
But you know what? FUCK THAT! I want a diamond and I'm going to get one by dammit. 4 years in that useless relationship gone, but not wasted, since I learned to screen for men who know my worth and will make me happy.
But I digress–I now LOVE art deco style rings and big center/solitaire diamonds. My current boyfriend wants to get married in the next couple of years and he said he's willing to get me whatever style of ring I want. I'm going all out and making a spreadsheet about some specific examples and general info so my bf doesn't lose himself. I'm going to post some of my picks here to revive the thread.
Just be forewarned that oval and marquise diamonds are my absolute favorite so I'll be mainly posting those as inspo.

i am super frugal and don't actually plan to get married, and if i did i would never demand a certain engagement ring, but man i love opal.
No. 158335
>>158322I was pretty frugal when picking out my ring a few years back. When you think about it you're usually already living together and sharing expenses by the point engagement comes up. I just couldn't imagine a big chunk of our shared income being put away to pay for something like a ring. I guess years ago when people didn't live together pre-marriage it was an expense that fell purely on the man so women thought 'the bigger the better' lol.. but now you're paying for half of that ring in one way or another. Taking that cash away from other expenses you already have together.
I got a small cluster ring with diamonds but with the cluster design it managed to take the tiniest amount of stone and make it look like more. Was miles cheaper than any solitaires. I nearly went for opal

I asked for a moissanite oval solitaire in white gold between 1 and 2 carats. I think oval looks classy and lengthens the finger, but I didn't want anything that looked cheap (too small) or gaudy (too big). "Sparkle factor" was kind of important to me as well. But I didn't want to spend too much money on something depreciable or that I'm not sure I'll wear every day - not sure that I'm a big jewelry person.
I know bf has the ring but he won't show me until he actually proposes which is kinda cute but kinda frustrating.
My boyfriend and a male friend have both separately implied that they thought women only wear their engagement rings during the engagement then only the wedding ring after marriage. Bf is European so it might be cultural, I guess friend's mom just didn't feel like wearing her ring after a while. But it's kind of funny two separate men thought that you spend ~3 months salary on a ring that will only be worn for a year or so.
No. 162480
>>162455Definitely cultural, am European as well, can't even imagine wearing both rings.
My engagement ring was cheap (~120$?) and my wedding ring is second hand platina without a stone or anything. I honestly think this "3 months salary" thing is such a meme, but then again I'm not a jewellery person at all. Also not a great romantic. In fact I stopped wearing my wedding ring during corona (before I only wore it when outside of the house) kek

My dad rang me one day to ask where it was and scream at me for taking stuff out of his house. I thought he knew her plan? So now he has it again. He didn't believe me about our conversation and he told my brother I'm a thief. I don't think her ring is worth anything. It's not a diamond, it's a small sapphire.
Their marriage was god awful. The spark and any hint of love died twenty years before my moms passing. I hate him. I wanted something to remind me of her. Her wishes are now being ignored so it can sit in a safe for twenty more years and then what?

>>168947It depends on what it is. A ring from Tiffany’s or a typical jewelry store will depreciate, fast. It’s also not a smart move to buy a stone from a jewelry store at all, they’re overpriced and your just paying for a name.
She got hers through diamond wholesalers, the same people who sell them to jewelry stores like Tiffany, but because of that she just payed for what the stone was worth at the time.
I would strongly recommend going to an actual diamond dealer if your interested in investing in a large stone. The one my mom works with requires a referral, but I’m sure they’re not impossible to find without one.

My bf bought me my diamond, the exact one I wanted. It's so fucking pretty but at the same time absolute torture because he can't afford to buy the band to mount it on yet.

The wait is just torturous. I want to be able to wear my pretty stone but all I can do is look at it.

How does one go about choosing ring metal colors?
When I went engagement ring shopping I had this preconceived notion in my head that rose gold was just a trendy fad, but actually I found that it was the most flattering on my skin tone. I'm pale with pink warm tones.
Yellow gold looked atrocious on me, which was disappointing because I know my bf really wanted things traditional.
All my regular rings are silver/white gold so that color just screams cheap and less special to me. My friends really encouraged me to go with white gold because my ring would "match" everything but I dunno I find that's a weak justification. It's not like white tone jewelry goes with everything either.
I liked how rose gold was a different looking kind of gold, and how it still gave contrast to the diamond. I have a really nice center diamond so I don't want to drown it out in white. Said friends insisted it would be a fad that I would dislike in a few years but I'm not so sure. Apparently rose gold has been around since the 19th century and used to be called "Russian gold" because it was popular in Russia. It's just gold + copper alloy.
No. 174028
>>173988Although I was initially dead set on white gold I have a rose gold ring because of how well the rose gold went with my warm tones too. Its definitely not a fad, just been going through stages of popularity. If your bf wanted something traditional, 18k rose gold is very subtle and less pink due to the lower percentage of copper and it really looks quite lovely. I haven't had many issues with it not matching my clothes either.
In the end its up to what you and your partner want. Who honestly cares what your friends think?
No. 174415
i dont know if i'll ever get married, and even if I knew I was I'm not anywhere near that stage. but for wedding rings, I always hated ones that were full silver with a white stone because it just feels so… cold. just feels like material. I always love to see a bit of color in a ring, nothing bright like ruby or sapphire but closer to moonstone or opal. i also like ring designs that are being expressive. simple bands just cant help but feel unsentimental to me. I love when designs are representing nature, or maybe an era of art, hearts, crowns, basically anything that can send a signal to me visually. I don't really care how expensive a ring is, i more care about how expensive a ring is in context of how hard someone had to work to get it for me. if i'm dating a billionaire and they buy me some 30k ring in the blink of an eye i guess it can be nice, but it doesn't touch me as much as someone on a much smaller sallary working for a long period, saving, and listening to me to buy a ring that lets say 1-1.5k and its the best possible choice because they had the time to consider it. designing a ring together is also appealing. honestly, if they just took me ring shopping with them I wouldn't care. i know my tastes can be finnicky so why risk surprising me with a ring i may not even like?

Rings specifically marketed for proposal are either mass-produced looking rosegold rings from Etsy that cost $950 but look like they came from Aliexpress for $2 (many in this thread) OR they're just round diamonds surrounded by tiny diamonds. BLEH. My history teacher back in high school spent $15,000 on white gold princess bands that looked no different from my sterling I got at $1-$2 in scrap weight. She's lucky if she's got a grand in gold and I'm being really generous assuming each band is pure at around 6 grams. People croak at the coin shop I used to work when they find their $3,000 ring is only worth $35 in metals. The stones are worth nothing most of the time, it's a total sham business. Of course, there is still a market as long USD has not collapsed so you might recoup your loss to some other retard.

If something is a wedding set, does that mean one is the engagement ring and one is the wedding band? I love these dainty, whimsical rings. I feel like the cost is more justifiable if it’s both. Bf and I are both working class and I don’t want him to spend a fortune on a ring but I also don’t want something cheap that’s going to fall apart or get damaged.

I’ve been looking at this ring for years, I’d buy it for myself for non engagement reasons since I don’t want a wedding band anyway but it’s too expensive. On the website it shows gold but you can customise the band colour.

Something like this but the diamond would be bigger. I'm looking for 2.75 carats. I'm buying it for myself if I have to.

my ideal ring. i love the blush pink sapphire and the leaves surrounding it. there's another picture of it on someone's hand on the jeweler's site (and they're local to my state!) and it doesn't look like it'd overwhelm my size 5 finger at all, which is easy to do.

Does anyone else feel like they have ugly hands and therefore shouldn't wear rings? Are people still weird if you decide not to wear a wedding ring? I have thin fingers but big knuckles.
I really like rings like
>>269942 but I think it would look stupid on my grandma finger and probably spin around after I got it over my knuckle. Fuck I just think my hands look so weird and old even though I always took care of them and wear sunscreen, use lotion, etc.

This is going to be my wedding ring. I knew this was the one since I first saw it.
>>309929Six month late reply but men will bother you if you don't wear a wedding ring. Some get very aggressive about it if you say you're married but aren't wearing a ring. But if you don't care about that and your partner doesn't more power to you.

>>344222It looks like it would break/snag easily
>>389670This also looks like it would break very easily, and the thin band would warp, the stones fall out.

>>389670Thanks for bumping the thread! It's pretty but I've also heard bad things about opal due to how soft they are.
I really like Kataoka rings but the prices are a bit hard to justify imo especially since they're so tiny

This is my dream ring currently. The stone can be a little bigger.

I stopped being friends with a girl because she:
>went to meet her bfs Mom>told her bfs family she expected a $50,000 engagement ring>bf earns barely $35,000 wiping arses in a care home>expected me to validate her as the victim when the inlaws didnt like herHer explanation was crazy as well.
>oh I'm a Texas girl and we all get judged in this community if we don't have a huge rock, i'd be willing to fund it myself…Like you couldn't use to 50 as a down payment and get moissanite and keep it quiet. She's gonna be a lifelong renter.
Who the fuck cares what your Mom's loser church buddies think of your engagement ring?
Anyway, if money was no object, picrel would probably be my dream ring. But money is an object, so
>>389670 is my dream ring unless my circumstances change.

I had linked my husband a few different rings off of etsy and let him pick the one he liked out of them.
I was looking for the origional link for my ring to post it and cant find one that looks like my actual ring lmao, I wonder if he got scammed or he just somehow ended up with a different ring that fit what I wanted to the point I didnt even notice it wasnt one I linked him until posting here.
Shitty pick but oh well, I like it
No. 389867
>>389865Nta but problem is spending retarded amounts of money you cant afford on a ring that people will at best look at once, in order to have good social standing to the people around you/ strangers while renting is retarded, and telling her future inlaws that is also retarded, then playing the
victim over being retarded is retarded.

>>389844Something like this. The bands are different but still have the marquis and round alternating band. I'd go for white gold to not minimize the fire and sparkle.

>>390066>split the cost with my boyfriendYou're a loser if you can't get a bf to buy it himself. Any man who truly wants a woman to commit to him can find the money to buy the ring himself.
Anyway, I prefer opal rings. Opal is more beautiful to me, and real ones are rare, too. I'm clumsy as shit though, so I'd definitely scratch it, unfortunately…
No. 390089
>>390084This is why you don't live with men unless you're at least engaged. I hope you haven't split living costs with a moid you're dating or at least don't do that anymore. Don't feel bad if a moid goes out of his way to get something for you and doesn't complain about how expensive things are or starts worrying if he can make rent or not. If he's financially stable and financially responsible, no matter his income, accept these gifts. He's trying to prove he's making an effort in having you stay with him, let him be afraid to lose you and see his desperation. Unless he is
abusive or manipulative, it's better for him to try to keep his closeness with gifts, no matter how much you know they cost. Only start to worry if he is not able to contribute to his savings account.

Thoughts on those custom ring makers? I've been eyeing this site called custommade.com but I'm kind of skeptical and wondering if there's some sort of catch, anyone have experience with these sorts of companies? I have a fair idea of what I want in terms of the type of stone(s), settings, etc. but I'm struggling to find concrete inspiration that fits all my preferences. The idea of having some sort of unique personal motif also compels me.
Regardless of quality I do love browsing their finished products though because you'll see all sorts of dorky stuff that people have requested. On one hand, the idea of tying my engagement ring to some mass media franchise disgusts me, but I also see the charm in these sperg couples being able to capture the essence of their autism. Some of the more subtle ones can be quite nicely translated too.

>>391403I also get a kick out of their cringy descriptions that try to reference whatever inane thing the couple based their ring on. Honestly as someone who doesn't know anything about SAO I wouldn't clock this as a weeb creation, it's a nice design.

>>70083>>70084>>70099>>70110OK so I know a lot of y'all are American and this might ruffle some feathers but:
Would it really be such a huge loss for society if someone were to just, y'know, ban those ridiculous engagement ring ads?
I know that free speech is a pretty big deal in the U.S., but weren't those free speech laws put in place to protect well-thought-out political dissent? It doesn't seem like ads that influence couples to spend their future kids' college funds on shiny baubles should be protected by these laws.
