Tell me about your engagement ring

I take mine off to go to the gym, and then don’t end up wearing it on Saturday and Sunday if I run errands after the gym. I also don’t wear in the house. It’s set high and I bump it on things and almost lost the center diamond that way.

An Art Deco ring from Etsy with a few teeny tiny diamonds. $200. I didn’t want anything traditional, but husband wanted traditional diamonds, so it worked for us. I had given him a bunch of ideas (including this art deco style, but also pearl rings or other stones or designs). I love it!

Wow I can’t imagine spending two months rent on something so frivolous!

I lived here for grad school at that time and no way you could rent for $700!! So I'm assuming you mean somewhere else...

I lived in DC at that time too and paid 850 - not too far off.

I never wear mine because it was a pearl ring. The pearl fell out twice. The jeweler told me the second time that pearls are not meant for daily wear.

Because I got fat, lol.

An emerald cut diamond, I think about half carat or a carat (I remember this stuff really mattering to me back then!) in white gold. We got engaged at 20 and I really wanted platinum but we didn’t have the money. Got a platinum guy instead, so that's better.

No, theyr'e no for daily wear - at least not on the hands - but they sure are pretty.

This is why I tend to be better friends with men. Who cares about engagement rings.

Had it designed at a diamond broker a number of years ago emerald and diamond. 2K and I wear it everyday, no problems.

Mine is an ascher cut 1.25 carat diamond with pave diamonds around the white gold band. I have a matching wedding and anniversary band with pave diamonds. The ring was from Blue Nile and cost about $5,500 including the wedding band. The white gold now looks more yellow gold after a run-in with sunless tanning lotion....I'm too lazy to get it replated...one of these days. Honestly no one would know if I wore a good fake....if I could go back in time I might have just told my DH to get me a nice fake ring.

Obviously most of the people in this thread. Since you don't care and you are "one of the boys" why are you here?

I know plenty of women who don't care about engagement rings. Gratuitous slam against the sisters, no?

And yet you clicked on the topic and took the time to post. Cognitive dissonance much?

I take mine off a lot in the winter because my hands get so dry and I like to lotion them frequently, but I'm don't want to get them dirty.
