show us your rings!

wow! everyone's rings are beautiful!

here's mine except i have an oval diamond instead of the princess cut. not sure what i'll as far as a wedding band but i was thinking a really thin pave.

Here is mine. I just love it. It is an actual antique ring from the 1920's. It is from an estate jewelry place in IL. The stone is .55 ct and looks gigantic on me. I guess I have small hands and never realized it. I am most likely going to have to have a band made to match the curve of the setting, but I would love to find and antique one if I can.

I love antique jewelry and estate jewelry, especially Art Deco and 1920's.

here are 2 really good sites to check out for bands...

o im so sorry i messed it up again!

Well it has taken me absolutely forever to figure out how to take decent pictures of my ring (and the grey, snowy weather in Toronto has not been cooperating and giving me half-way decent lighting)...but I think I've finally done it! And not only done it but maybe gone a little too picture happy! My FI spent over 6 months secretly plotting with my sister to design the setting himself and I am so proud of him! Apparantely there were several revisions made, but he got it abosultely perfectly! And I love the stone - I told him I was partial to square or slightly rectangular shapes and he decided to search for a radiant cut because he liked that it was a mixed cut stone (part brillant cut like a round, part step cut like an emerald or an asscher)...so it has the less organized, more random and choatic pattern of sparkle underneath, which is like me, and the classic, clean, organized and logical lines on the crown like him - and together they come fit to make the stone more beautiful! My ring is a metaphor for our relationship! (Too sappy? I think maybe we should limit who we tell that too for fear of getting the rolled eyes...but it makes me tear when I think of how he explained it to me).

OK, this is my first attempt to upload pictures so bear with me....I hope I get it right!

Today I went and picked up my husband's new wedding ring. I will give it to him on his birthday, on Friday. He has no idea. This is the new one, with the original 26.5 year old ring.

This is the ring he had made for me for our 25th anniversary, which I wear with my original wedding ring.

Okay, here are pics of my e-ring and my wedding band, both of which I just got sized. It took me forever to find a band I liked, but I finally decided on this ring guard cause it just makes my ring sparkle even more! I was so happy to have my e-ring back I took a ton pictures of them, here are just a few. (sorry no matter how many times I resize in photobucket, they look the same size when i post)

My e-ring: a diamond solitair with a twist(two small side stones) set in platinum

My wedding band: a platinum ring guard

E-ring + wedding band = Bling Bling!

Hans just came over and suprised me with our rings! Yay!

Here's my ring. Chosen by my FI and kept hidden in the house for a month while he waited for the right time to ask me! Its platinum band. I love it.
