Antique set from when H's parents were married. The set is 40+- years old. The diamond is the engagement ring and the wedding ring adds a petal to the flower. I love my set
Here's mine! DH & I actually went and looked at rings and I showed him ones I liked. I fell in love with this one and he went back the same day and bought it...proposing with it 2 months later
MH custom designed mine so it was lower profile than most. This thread made me go get it and for the first time in months I could actually get them on. Trouble is, now I can't get them off! Will have to break out the dish soap.
Mine is small but I wasn't supposed to get one at all so it means a lot to me. The stones on each side are sapphires which is my birthstone. MH picked it all on his own!
@mfarmer0811 He was fine with it. He said he was really flustered at the store and had no idea what to get. The one I picked out was less expensive and we both love it
Wow, I think this every time but @LW78 and her husband have the most heart wrenching happily ever after story I've ever heard! Congrats to him for finally giving you that ring!
This picture is from over a year ago and I was actually texting it to my grandmother to show her that my great grandmother's band fit because I had lost enough weight. The engagement ring is the little solitaire that DH picked out all on his own when we were poor college kids, the bottom band is the wedding ring that I bought online for $40 that I got married with (the price was right and I also happened to love it) and the top band was a gift from my grandmother on my 5 year anniversary and originally belonged to my great grandmother. I'm a no frills kind of girl so I love that the solitaire is the star and my rings aren't overly fussy.
@mndynitetragdy I loved the one he got and I loved a unique champagne one... I still love the other one too, maybe in 10 years I can get it as an anniversary ring for my right hand. Even though I haven't been even wearing any of my rings, in 10 years I sure hope im done w/diapers Etc lol
Hmm I said once that I had hoped I was done with diaper in 10 years. 11 years later back doing diapers again! Lol
I still can't get my rings back on, but this is a pic from our wedding. The stones in the engagement ring were his grandmother's. The band we had made.
I finally have mine on (not cuz they didn't fit, because I'm lazy). DH picked out engagement ring on his own and that's all I wore for a year + until we went to the Cowboys game in TX in 2012 and he surprised me with a trip to the mall to pick out my wedding band. Was such a great surprise!!
I still can't get over that gif. He is too cute!!!

Finally I get around to playing! I am super in the minority here as I don't care for diamonds and I prefer yellow or rose gold to white or platinum.
The band is an heirloom from my great-great-grandmother; the engagement ring is an estate piece from the same era (late 1800s) and is moonstone flanked by turquoise. Both are "peach gold" halfway between yellow and rose. MH and I picked out the engagement ring together. I usually wear it as a right hand ring but it only fits on my left right now.
Ooh I'll play! I so wanted to add my engagement story, because it's it best story ever. But it's long and free time is fleeting. So the ring pic will do!

I love them!
