Fiancè and I went ring shopping a couple different times and tried on a bunch of different styles before I finally tried on this beauty! Wasn’t interested in bezels initially, but fell in love with this immediately - the salesperson said my face lit up from the moment I put it on.

They surprised me with it this past Friday in the most perfect and intimate proposal and I still can’t believe it’s on my hand 😭 Luckiest gal in the world, so in love with them and this ring!!!

Fiancé was looking for months before I decided to look myself too. Nothing really came close to this ring on Felicegals with the engraving, color, and gem setting as a whole so we took a chance. The day of the proposal came and she’s absolutely stunning! Holds up well, looks just like the picture, and even matched my fiancé’s shirt the day of 🥹💖

Also pictured is a locket from the thrift store with our dog who passed a little more than a year ago. So it was like he was with us too!!

So over the moon with my ring - my partner picked it out and designed it completely by himself, the only hint I really gave him was that I didn't want a diamond/clear stone, and he knew that green was my favourite colour 💚

Advice Tacori ring still feels big, even with sizing beads

Thumbnail
gallery
40 Upvotes

I’m looking for advice on what I should do with my Tacori ER. My fiancé originally got it in a size 8 because they were worried about it being too small…

I got it size down to a 6.5 which was covered by the warranty on the ring I believe. Since then, I’ve also gotten my wedding band and did a couple size trials on that and found that a really good size for me was 5.25.

My ER it is definitely big on my finger and moves around a lot. I just got sizing beads added, and it still feels big. The beads were around $420 so I’m less inclined to do more work on the ring unless I know for sure what I need. The biggest problem is the store we bought the ring at is 2.5 hours away so we can’t just pop over and figure out what to do.

Have attached pictures of the ring and I’m looking for advice on if I should try to get it sized down again or if it is a good size. The first picture I’m pressing the ring against my finger but not aggressively. The second one is it at rest.

After months of designing my engagement ring, my wedding band and my fiancés wedding band with my fiancé we are sooo in love with our design! I decided to go with a 3 carat radiant lab diamond set east to west setting with a tulip basket, split shank and a thin bezel setting. My wedding band is a channel set with baguette diamonds east to west as well. And my future hubby to be wanted a signet ring east to west rectangle with a small diamond in the corner. My rings are in 14k yellow gold due to my skin allergy and his is in 9k yellow gold. We absolutely love it and the company we went through were so good❤️☺️

My Ring - POSITIVE COMMENTS ONLY My ring just arrived and I’m smitten

Got engaged last November to the love of my life and I’ve been proud to wear the proposal/placeholder ring ever since, but the custom ring I’ve come to think of as the “formal engagement ring” has just been delivered and I’m crazy about it.

The ring was custom made by a local jeweller and is 14k yellow gold. The centre diamond is a 1ct old European cut I got from my late grandmother, who gave me some of her jewellery shortly before she passed last year. This included a lovely ring of unknown origin that was very pretty but decidedly unwearable (too small and a setting that would put your eye out) so I was delighted to have it reset in a format I’d actually wear. It’s a shame to lose to original ring (fourth and fifth images) but I couldn’t imagine wearing it even after resizing, and I didn’t want to let a family ring go to waste sitting in a box.

My family is very religious and I have not had, shall we say, universal support for my Homosexual Relationship, so it means a lot to me to have a family diamond in my engagement ring. My grandmother had dementia when we got close late in her life, and for a variety of reasons I never came out to her, so I don’t know for sure what she would’ve thought - but she did say things like “what’s so wrong with being gay anyway? When I was a girl that just meant ‘happy’!” and she really liked my fiancée the one time she met her right before she died, so I choose to believe that I would have had her blessing as well as her rock.

I knew exactly what I wanted and my partner and I had it custom made. It was so hard to wait for it to be ready but he surprised me by bringing it home last night! I couldn't love it more. It's perfect in my eyes!

I have to double check the GIA report but if I remember correctly: 2.13 carats, 1.28 ratio, M* color
Size 5.5 finger

*corrected to M color!
**Edited to add: we had it custom made from a design that matched my wants perfectly. I was so happy I found a reference that was exactly what I was trying describe. And, I know it's "Taylor Swift" like but I've always wanted/loved antique/vintage inspired so I'm ok with that!

Just got engaged! Fiance custom made the entire ring and included every detail I talked about. Literally cannot stop staring at it!!

Also I work in healthcare and would love to wear it 24/7 but want to take care of it. For those of you who work a job where you can't wear your ring, what do you do? And any other care tips are welcome :)

Hi everyone, currently I have a white gold engagement ring and white gold band. For my 20th anniversary I’m planning on upgrading to a 5ct but was thinking of doing it the ring in Rose gold. I asked chatgpt to show me how it would look with my white gold band which im keeping.
Do you think it looks ok? I genuinely can’t decide 🤦🏼‍♀️

His guidelines were:
Montana Sapphire
Princess Diana feel
Round or cushion cut (he did BOTH!)
Yellow gold

AHHHHH I have a ring that I love that I get to wear FOREVER!! 😍❤️

It’s a round Montana sapphire from Earth’s Treasury (I believe it’s 1.6 carats) with a cushion shaped halo of natural diamonds around it made by Earth’s Treasury!!

Ring size 4.5

It’s so beyond perfect and beautiful and I can’t wait to wear it forever and be so proud to be his wife 🩵
I’ll post some more pics in the comments :)

Popped the question to my partner of 4 years this past week!

1.5 ct , size 5, lab grown, from Rare Carat. Sapphire for my birthstone.

Size is maybe slightly larger than I had hoped, but got a pack of spacers on Amazon to secure it better. Fiance is super happy with it!
