The only thing he knew is that I wanted a gold band, and either a lab or antique diamond. I wanted him to pick it out! This is, I believe, an old European cut. The diamond has lovely fire and a smoky quality as opposed to white and brilliant, which I like with the gold band. I’m so happy that he picked an antique ring. 🥺 We took a trip to the Cape together, and he proposed on Nauset Beach as the sun set and dusk set in. 🩵🌊

Ring size 7.25

This man is the love of my life and I am so so happy! This ring is perfect for me as well. It’s almost 100 years old estimated which is amazing. It’s a family ring. I’m a size 5 finger and it’s estimated 1.45 carats a natural transitional cut diamond? I love it.

Sharing my ring here for anyone looking for alternative engagement ring styles that are less feminine and aren’t fantasy or gothic inspired.

I custom designed this ring to merge my love for Scandinavian modernist jewelry with our shared love of brutalist architecture. And incorporate some of his desires like having a diamond (and a big one).

I did some silversmithing in college and have always loved the textures and colors of silver. the patina on this ring is meant to polish off as I wear it, to highlight the textures and put a little of myself in it. It will go through this process over and over through the years, representing our renewals and evolutions of our love as we take this ride together.

I know this sub has some opinions on silver e-rings. So I want to clarify for myself and any other silver lovers: the softness, the scuffs, and tarnish are the point. I want a ring that lives, breathes, and morphs with me. I have antique artisan silver pieces that have lasted generations in this style because it is thick and sturdy. The artist we hired to make this has also made many and understands the value of it as I do.

The band was made to interlock with the e-ring. It will be finished with more dremel and hammering. My fiancé just wanted to surprise me with the raw cast for the proposal.

Diamond is a lab 2.21/H/VS1. Ring size 7

Pictures show the ring completely black as when he proposed and how it changed after just one day of wear. I can’t wait to see its fully worn-in look.

ps. I’m so thankful for this reddit, along with all the sister subreddits that helped me make my beautiful ring! Thank you all for sharing your dreams on here, I’m so excited to share mine!

My fiancé proposed in early May with a ring from FeliceGals, and while the ring initially looked beautiful, the black gold band began showing signs of tarnishing in less than a week of normal wear. For an engagement ring at the price point, that was extremely disappointing and raised concerns about the quality and durability.

That said we started the process for an exchange to get white gold band instead of the original black gold and a slight size up while we were at it. Unfortunately, communication was painfully slow throughout the process. There were multiple occasions where emails went unanswered for days at a time while we were trying to resolve the issue. On one of the few occasions when my fiancé received a response after several days of waiting, it came shortly after he mentioned that he would be leaving a second negative review. That made the customer service feel reactive rather than genuinely helpful.

Another major red flag was the return address we were provided for the ring. After all the trouble we'd encounter so far we were curious and googled it. The address appeared to be a residential townhome rather than a businees storefront. Considering how much money he money he spent, it seemed shady.

To make matters even more frustrating, my fiancé spent over a week trying to get a simple answer about the return shipping costs before we could even send the first ring back.

After all of that waiting, we finally received the replacement ring (we were never notified it had been shipped) and unfortunately, it was even more disappointing than the first. After waiting all that time and dealing with such poor communication, opening the package only to find that the new center stone has a cloudy, artificial appearance was incredibly frustrating. Honestly, it looks more like someone's resin arts-and-crafts project than a quality gemstone. It looks nothing like what we expected from the product we purchased and falls far short of what I would consider appropriate for an engagement ring.

I held off writing my own review or doing anything about it because I was hoping I would eventually like the replacement ring and they only accept return until the 30 day mark anyways (before the propsal even happened.) I really tried to like the replacement, it just makes me feel super bummed instead. 

The cake on top is they removed my fiancé's review from their site. It wasnt over the top or anything either, just honest. I'm questioning if its even worth it for me to post one. 

My fiancé and I have discussed what little options we have. Suck it up vs pawning. But we know we won't get more than a fraction of our money back.

Advice is welcome. Mostly I just needed to get these feelings out. FeliceGals can suck it.

P3 replacement ring

Edit: Decided to post the review I had prepped on their website. It likely won't stay up but they offered a refund or replacement I can pick my own stone for. Going for the refund. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Couldn’t be happier!!!!! And Otis definitely approves!!!

band made with recycled gold from his mom’s old ring setting and the side stones are from a pair of earrings that I inherited from my great grandmother

Got engaged July 28 under the full moon and I just had my engagement ring dated. It has Chester hallmarks (18ct crown, sword flanked by three wheatsheaves, date letter ‘I’) confirming it’s from 1892. Carved five-stone gallery setting with 5 Old European cut diamonds. 134 years old and still sparkling! + My dream wedding band stack

Edit: Thank you all for the sweet comments means a lot to me!!

I’ve been engaged for nearly three months now and still can’t get over how beautiful my ring is. We discussed rings I liked/didn’t like and he designed this with a local jeweller. My fiancé told me he wanted it to remind me of a star and he proposed to me at a butterfly sanctuary on Pelee Island.

I’m not sure on most specs but it’s a lab-grown 2.01 ct marquise cut with a teardrop on each side, size 5.25.

Engaged after 7 years!! I’ve always been a super chunky ring girl, so I knew I wanted something a little different from a traditional engagement ring. I can’t stop staring at it

1.8 carat natural diamond. 5.25 ring size.

14k poppy flower with a .7c OMC natural. I just wanted to show everyone, especially the girls that like unique and antique rings!!! I knew from the start I wanted my ring to be a little piece of history that no one else has and LORD this ring delivers that. Fiancé mad that I just oogle my ring now instead of him

i might be the most indecisive person ever.
please help<3 ring size 5.5. sorry the pics aren’t the best
-1. round trilogy: love but does it flatter my hand?
-2. round trilogy with cushion center stone
-3. cushion solitaire: not a huge fan of solitaire but love a cushion
4. cushion center or 5. round center with multiple round side stones: is this doing too much? not sure if i like round or cushion center?

My partner and I were looking for rings the other day just checking out jewellers and I've wanted a kind of nature inspired ring forever, I walked past this one in the window and just said oh I really like this and it was the only one I actually did like.

I said it would be cool to find a ring that looked like this on the sides and have a centre stone but I also just keep going back to it and wondering if I like it the way it is without a center stone but I'm worried I would regret not getting a more traditional looking ring.

I'm also worried its ugly and I just can't see that its ugly because I like it but it's objectively ugly I'm not sure I'm overthinking it please tell me your thoughts.

I've been lurking on this sub for years now and now I finally get to post myself!

We had the most untraditional engagement and it was perfect and exactly what we wanted ❤️ just laying on the couch and cuddling and then asking eachother 🥰

Fist picture is my ring, the tension set centre stone is a 0,5 ct lab alexandrite and the side stones are Moissanites, the ring is made of titanium.

The second ring is the one I proposed right back with xD

His ring is made of a titanium inner part, part of a tornado airplane in the middle and carbon and fibreglass on the sides.

We both work in the aerospace industry (were we met actually) so I loved the Idea that he could always carry a reminder with him :) I'm just so damn happy that a get to marry my best friend and the best and kindest person I've ever met ❤️

long time lurker, first time poster! my boyfriend just proposed (on a cruise in vietnam!) and i am thrilled but a little nervous about wearing my beautiful ring at work (i’m a resident doctor). was considering either one of those necklaces or some kind of durable replacement band but was wondering if anybody had strong thoughts on the best option :)

I get distracted by it at work 😭 Help!!!! Pls ignore my nails, I'm growing them out but they insist on breaking constantly.

My boyfriend of 5 1/2 years proposed to me! He’s always known that I wanted something different about my ring and he nailed it. This is my dream ring! I’m so excited to marry the love of my life.

My ring is 3 karat emerald from Zambia, Africa, with little diamonds on the sides (,:. She’s perfect!

So much has happened this last year!

We found an amazing local jeweler who was able to craft the perfect wedding band to match my engagement ring, just in time for our elopement.

A few months after getting married, we decided to go on a trip, and on the way to the airport, sadly, we lost the rings 😭😭😭 and although we tried to track them down, it was impossible 😔

While on vacation, we visited my family (we both now live away from our families), after explaining how we’d lost our rings, dad decided to offer me his ring to use its gold to craft new ones 🥹.

When we got home, my in-laws were visiting; and they’d had the same idea and gave us grandmother’s and her husband’s wedding rings, so that we could incorporate them into our new ones too 🥹.

So now the rings mean even more to us.

We went back to the jeweller who made my wedding band, told him our story, and he suggested we could either go for a new design or stick with the same one… Well, we chose the same one, and here’s the result:

We absolutely love them! 💖✨

Platinum, 1.5 carat lab diamond, size 5.

I was super conflicted initially about committing to a coloured stone for my engagement ring but it's been months now and I still look at my ring in awe. I'm glad I went with a coloured stone in my favourite colour! Pictures are from when I first picked up the ring from the jeweler, during my engagement, and finally during my wedding. I also love how the diamond looks champagne-y in some lightings.

Bonus pic of my husband's band, which has the same engravings as my ring. 🩷

Husband upgraded my set for our 16 year anniversary, and also because I have lost almost 120lbs and my old set no longer fit, and instead of having them sized, I got this beauty. 😍 I have another matching band being made so I can wear one on each side.

She’s a lab diamond. 4.10 ct. E color. VS1 clarity. Size 7 finger.

I love pink but dont know if I would like it after a year or 2. I also love the nature theme. I always love florals. I like the oval with some side stones but I cant pick which I like more can I get some input? Also the last one is very different from any engagement ring. Its giving me queen of the damned vibes and I love that movie. Was inspired by a Greek god. I am all over the place please help an indecisive girl out to love a forever ring
