    All these rings are gorgeous, but I just can't help but thinking that I would never be able to afford two sets of rings! Definitely going to be a cheapo and stick with one set for the actual wedding once it comes to that. It's enough for me to feast my eyes on the pictures

      Usually guys just buy a nice looking ring for their SOs and I rarely see a big center stone.
      Its good that you and him are having the same thoughts on it
      Yes, I am aware that it isn't common there. I actually had to explain to him about engagement rings and all of that. He doesn't necessarily get the whole ring thing, but he wants me to be happy.

        I made love to him only twice, she thought and looked at the man laying asleep beside her. And yet still it is as if we have been together forever, as if he has always known my life, my soul, my body, my light, my pain

          The older I get, the less important this stuff is to me. Nevertheless, I still love to see the sparkly pictures!!

            None of this stuff is important to us. We aren't holding a wedding ceremony and neither will we have fancy rings. I had suggested at least getting some cheap steel rings but she refused and said we can just make our own rings out of grass. haha.

              I wanted to show you my engagement ring too. I am in love with it.

              Never expected to get a ring like that and he totally surprised me with that.

                It's lovely! Unfortunately I broke my arm a few weeks ago while we were on a cruise. They had to cut my ring off...

                  This one is mine! It's a family heirloom from his side, I think it's about 50 years old? 60? I treat it like it's 1,000 years old, let me tell you! (This is with the wedding band on xD The poor boy forgot to take it off before he proposed!)

                    Heirloom rings are awesome, and yours looks stunning
                    So, here you are
                    too foreign for home
                    too foreign for here.
                    Never enough for both.

                      Here's my engagement ring (pictures right after I got it - like a year ago). It's an antique we found online. I absolutely fell in love with it. It has one round oec diamond and two french cut sapphires. I LOVE the metal work and the way that it sits on my hand. Because of its shape, I wear my wedding ring on my right hand. Both my hands sparkle!!


                      And here's our rings from our wedding. His is an ancient viking ring - over 1000 years old!

                        Realized I never posted my ring! I have a purple addiction and I told him I wanted a purple ring, white gold, plus something not big since I work with my hands a lot and I didn't want it getting stuck places. I have to say my fiance did well for not 'knowing much about jewelry' as he said. ^-^

                          We haven't gotten engaged yet, although he just paid off the ring (I think, but I'm not supposed to know). We purchased mine for under $700 at a Michael Hill (Australia) Valentine's Day sale. It's super gorgeous, but super modest too. I'd rather the money be spent on a vacation (the honeymoon) or anything else that either isn't going to last a singe day (the wedding) or just sit on my hand and be a target for thieves. Sorry photo quality is so bad, only had my iphone, and the pics don't do it justice at all.

                            Very beautiful rings ladies!

                            Finally I get a chance to post a picture of mine:

                                Lilly, you are trying to link to a Google mail file, that doesn't work. Save the picture to your PC and upload in a place like imgur, then we can see it!
