Girls: If you could have any Engagement Ring you wanted..

[downbeatplumb]

The ones already posted are beautiful.

Personally, I have a preference for the classics with a twist, so when I designed my "dream" engagement ring, it was this one:





Designed and built by Steven Krechmer, it is a patented reverse spring that holds the stone in place, allowing the stone to "float" without prongs in the setting. The gold alloy is also patented for strength. The diamond had to be tested to ensure it was of sufficient quality to withstand the pressure. I still have it and I still wear it. The only downside? Can't be resized, so don't gain weight! (Disclaimer: This is not my ring, but it looks almost exactly like it.)

Where the rock meets the band, is there a notch in the metal, or is it indented into the band and held there by reverse spring?

That does look like a diamond about to fall out of it's mount.

No notch, no nothing. It's 12,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. The diamond goes nowhere. Here's an explanation of the process:

Tension Settings

The diamond must be cut to certain specifications in order to withstand the pressure else it will shatter, so they must be tested first.

I should add that my father is a jeweler, so getting the right diamond wasn't a problem for me.

My wife asked me to marry her.
Apparently I still had to buy her a ring.

(According to her)

ummmmmm, yeah, duhhhhh!!


I have my dream ring. I will have to set up an account to post pictures.

I love all the rings posted.

Well, I have the engagement ring I want already



but I want something like this as a wedding ring

[pineapplebunnybounce]

I thought wedding rings are supposed to be just a band without a stone?

[Raeven]

I think anything goes these days.

I love the purple stone!

None for me, thanks. I can afford my own jewellery.
