Questions:
1) How often do you clean your engagement ring?
2) What do you use? Wipes/liquid/what is the "dipping basket" those liquids refer to?
3) Do you wear your ring in the shower? I take mine off when I shower and it kind of offends my fiance. It's a diamond with a white gold band. I know the diamond obviously won't get ruined but I'm worried about the white gold in hot water + soap. Am I just being weird or does everybody take them off in the shower/at the beach? |

I've been together with my fiance since the beginning of my junior year and his senior year in high school. It was love at first sight. The moment I first saw him and met him I just knew he was going to be an important person in my life.
He proposed the night before my 21st birthday. I was born in the 20th so 20 is my favorite number and I kind of hoped he'd propose sometime when I was 20 and had given up hope when he came through.

so long story short, and really exciting story!!!
i found out that i inherit a diamond from my moms first wedding set that i had no idea i inherited
she said if i would like i can have it early, give it to my man, and he can get it set if he wants
it would mean so much to me to have my moms diamond in a ring
i told him and he seems for the idea! i think he is just in shock though lol he was kinda speechless
i was looking at settings to go with a pear shape, not my ideal cut and its hard to match stuff with it
we came up with this
he wants me to move in after we get it, i dunno how my family is gonna take that
im really worried about that aspect
but finally this solves our money issue!
comments/ ideas?
i didnt want to be involved, i didnt even want to be able to see it before, but it just went that way
but im still really excited!! *squee* i think i wanna buy him an engagement ring too, is that weird? |

My fiance and I were engaged at the top of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, England on March 13, 2007. I can hardly believe that it has been nearly a year!
So here are the photos of the ring (finally!). The center diamond is .6 carats and was inherited from my grandmother, so it is very special to me that I have a family heirloom as part of my engagement ring. It is set in platinum with pave set diamonds flanking it on the band. The wedding band will also be platinum with matching pave set diamonds. Because the center stone was a family heirloom, I really wanted something that had an antique feel, but not over the top. I think it worked out pretty well. I am completely in love with it and can't believe that I am so lucky to be marrying my wonderful fiance!
I love reading everyone's posts and gawking at rings. I think it is so interesting to see all of the different styles that are out there! Congrats to all of you, ladies!! |

I think the subject says it all! I need help ladies.
( here's my dilemma: )
soo basically I was wondering if any of you would be so kind as to give me a little information about your rings, or what the average engagement ring is like. how much it cost you would be MOST helpful but I know that can be a personal question so I understand if you don't want to share that. I really don't want to walk up to the jewelry counter and pick out some thousand dollar ring only to embarrass my soldier's salary boyfriend haha.
thank you & congratulations to all of you! |

My boyfriend fiance proposed to me in between Christmas and New Year's. We were visiting my parents in Florida, and he drove me to my favorite beach to watch the sunset. When we got close to the beach, we found it enveloped in fog, with no sunset to speak of. We took it well, and decided it created added privacy for us, because we couldn't see more than a 100 feet in any direction! We had wine and cheese and chatted and enjoyed the sound of the water, until he started his speech, and dropped down on one knee in the sand. He got me to say yes before he showed me the best ring imaginable...
Enjoy! (I have been!) |

If this isn't okay to post, please delete it. I didn't see anything against it in the info page.
I created a community for September 2008 Weddings because the only one I found wasn't active. I'd really like to get it jumpstarted and lively. So, if you are getting married in September '08, please join :) ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) 0908weddings |

My fiance and I have come to an agreement. He purchased a bridal set a year ago that was very small, and is pictured in my icon.
I wanted a larger diamond, so he said a limit of $2,000. Lucky for me, I found a Tiffany Setting white gold ring with a .5 carat diamond, G-H colour and PI-2 (I think) Inclusion.
The ring is on special from $2,499 down to $1,799. It looks like.. http://www.tiffany.com/Expertise/Diamond/rings/engagement_tiffany.aspx but obviously isn't a Tiffany & Co ring :)
And, the valuation comes in at $3,550. So we paid just over half value price :D (All dollar amounts are in AUD (Australian).
I'm waiting for it to be resized from a K down to an I (Australian sizing), and it should be ready on about the 28th.
I'm so excited, its so perfect for my tiny hands! :D We are using the 'wedding' band from the bridal set pictured :) |

We went and picked up the rings today. Early which is super exciting. I can't believe I have this big ol' rock on my finger now instead of the temp ring. It makes the temp ring look "wimpy wimpy wimpy". But I still love it, haha. Brian's ring looks more amazing every time I look at it.

I am wondering what type of band you have got for your husbands. What material, colour, engravings ,width.
Do you also have photos?
I'm wondering what to get for my own Groom. :)
I like the idea of a double groove at one side, in a titanium/stainless steel metal. I want something that is long lasting and scratch resistant-ish :) |

Hmm
So my set is White Gold, what I believe to be 18k. I went into a jeweler today, and she mentioned that white gold has to be re rhodium plated every so often, and I already knew that.
My engagement ring is 9 months old, and already, even from the first month, it has been scratched :(
But I'm feeling a bit curious, I don't know much about platinum. I'm wondering if we could get the same ring, using the diamonds in it, made into a platinum setting.
I guess we have to do some research, and think about cost.
I'm re thinking about getting Adrian a white gold ring for his wedding band. I'd ideally like to get him a titanium/platinum band.
Does anyone have any information about platinum?
Thankyou! |

All 3 of my rings came from zales. Im very pleased with them. Mainly one store in Natick MA. I searched for months for a band that worked well with my 1st eng ring *see icon* and then I found these bands that fit great! But they were in yellow gold :( So after much sadness we went to another zales to see it that was true and it was but they could order it in white gold it would just take up to 12 weeks so we did and are very pleased. So after a few weeks went by we looked into upgrading my stone. But they told me I had to change the head but the head was my fav part of the ring and I didnt want to take that out. So fh let me pick out my dream ring. ( I had my eye on it for quiet some time) Best of all it fit my bands perfectly.

Well I have been engaged now for 5 months but I just found this site and absolutely LOVE looking at everyones rings! I could look at diamonds all day!!
My FH and I decided one day to go and look at engagement rings. He told me to pick one from everystore so he had an idea of ones I liked. It wasn't until we got to the final store and I found THE one! There wasn't much of a $$ restriction but the one I found was only 1000$ and I LOVED it! The lady tried pushing me to ugrade to a larger diamond but I said no thanks! I have tiny fingers and I do not want a ring that is going to over power my hand! My husband to this day things I am weird for not wanting some huge rock on my finger! My ring is 1/2 carrot with 4 smaller diamonds on each side. It also came with the matching wedding band.
Enjoy the picture! I'll try to get a better picture up soon when I have time to take some more!

Hi!
It's been a while since we got engaged, Friday October 20, 2006. We have recently set a date for the Wedding!
Saturday November 7, 2009.
It's a while away, but we need some time to save and move out together. It means that he will be 26 and I will have just turned 24.
We have lined up a Celebrant, although I've yet to tell her the date.
My sister has told me her friends can make the cake.
My sister in law is making my Dress, and bridesmaids' dresses.
We have chosen a song (Friday I'm in Love - The Cure) We began dating officially Friday 13, 2003.
We are deciding on another ring (my ring is a bridal set) minus diamonds to fit behind one half.
We are looking at ring designs for him.

After asking my dad at the end of June if it was okay for hiim to marry me, my boyfriend finally proposed today! I of course, said yes! This ring is so beautiful. I know the style isn't for everyone, but I have a soft spot for vintage type things. I have fat fingers, sorry!
