I love my ring, it's a three stone ring with round stones. the middle one is 1 karat and the two outer stones are .333 each, and SO sparkly! I get compliments on it nearly every day and it makes me so happy to think about what it means to me and my fiancee.

What is the tradition about engagement rings? Do you wear it in the same finger as the wedding ring, or the other ring finger? Just curious.
Anyway, I would like something like these...
... with a ruby, just because I prefer the colour of rubies over diamonds.

My husband actually did something very sweet when it came to my ring. We had been dating for maybe two years when we were walking around downtown Manhattan and I saw a billboard of a three stone ring. I had never really thought about what I'd want my engagement ring to look like but as we passed the pic, I said I loved that ring. He said to me, since we were only 21 at the time, "Three diamonds! I can't even afford one!!"
So two years later, he went to India for a family wedding and without telling me, designed the ring for a jeweler in India. He then picked out the stones himself and had them looked over by another jeweler and then had the ring made. It is exactly the one from the pic! It's a total of 1.25 ct and my wedding band is 1ct of channel set diamonds. I absolutely adore my rings, not just for how beautiful they are, but for how much love and thought he put into it. Oh, and to top it off, when we were at Tiffany's, one of the salesgirls couldn't stop gushing about how beautiful she thought they were! Crazy since I could never afford one of their engagement rings!

No offense, but I think it's horrible when women pick out engagement rings, or dream them up and almost expect them. For one, in my opinion, you'll look silly when you either don't get what you want or don't even get engaged. And for two it puts a ridiculous amount of pressure on the guy who simply wants to spend his life with you. It's hard enough even making the commitment without people in your ear going "Tiffany's! Kay! Ben Bridge!" My friend basically planned her own engagement. They went to a big engagement ring store here in my town, she tried on a bunch of rings, watched him order and pay for her ring (she kept guiding him on what to have inscribed inside of it) and then threw a party ("Just a few friends over for cocktails!) Where he "surprise!" knelt down and proposed to her. TACKY. I didn't even go because I knew wtf she was up to.
...But I've digressed haven't I? Basically as long as he put thought into picking a ring out that he thinks is a representation of how he feels for me, and not a representation of feeling pressured by me, family or friends, I'll be happy. So far he knows what I like and what looks good on me, so if our relationship ever does get to that step, I'm sure whatever he picks out for me will be perfect.

I have a channel ring, white gold filled with diamonds.
Re conflict-free diamonds: it is a huge pain in the ass to verify whether they are conflict-free or not. Many people look at you like you're crazy for asking or they have no certification. It took forever for us to pick out the right ones!

I hadn't really thought about it, so I was at a bit of a loss when we went to pick out a ring. I chose a white gold band with a matte, sandblasted finish and diamonds set into it. It's similar to this -
and my wedding ring is similar to this one -
I have no idea what size/grade etc. the diamonds or the gold are and I don't care either.
They were probably way less expensive than many people would consider spending but they mean much, much more to me than their monetary value.

i doubt i'll ever get married, but if i do...he'd be smart to ask me with one of these two (or both
) in his hand.

actually, tbh..if he popped open a tiffany's box with a forty thousand dollar ring in it, i'd probably smack him upside the head and tell him he should've used the money for a down payment on a house.
so i guess i'll take the first one.

My e-ring is nothing like what I was looking for at the time. I wanted a princess cut in a solitaire setting. What I got was a round brilliant (far larger than I expected at one full carat) in a very unique setting.
My husband said he will upgrade me in a year or two to my original dream ring though, which is this in either the asscher cut or an emerald cut.
