Over the moon, not even exaggerating, my ex husband drew his idea and his dad made it by hand
Yep. It has an amethyst instead of a boring cooking cutter diamond.
We wear silicone rings now but my engagement ring is put away safely
Very happy, since I picked it out and sent the link to my husband. He got to decide when to propose and everything but I really wanted a specific alexandrite ring that I had seen on Etsy.
Ecstatic. My partner picked it out alone and I don’t think I could have dreamed up a better design.
I gave a few notes on what I didn’t like during our relationship but purposefully wanted to see what he picked for me. To me I just wanted to see what he saw and thought was “me” for a ring, and I absolutely love mine. I know some people pick their own which makes sense, but I wanted to be surprised!
Super because I chose it lol
Very happy. I wanted something that my husband picked out by himself. I just wish that I would have more chances to wear it more often! It is quite prominent (I love it) & in general I am not a ring wearer so it is not for everyday house wear. I used to put it on when going to the office, but I am on maternity leave now.
In my life I literally had 2 rings – engagement one and wedding one. For the wedding ring we chose super simple gold rings and those we proudly wear all the time 🙂
10/10 happy because we picked it out together. Then he surprised me with the actual proposal months later. We’ve been married 7 years now and still love it. It’s something you have to look at on your hand every single day for the rest of your life – thus I’m a huge proponent of making a joint decision.
I loved it. I also picked it out myself. I don’t wear rings and so I really just didn’t know what I wanted until trying them on so there’s no way my husband could have guessed what I would have wanted.
So happy. It’s yellow gold which is the only metal I wear. I was so pleased that he got that right. Apparently the salesperson in the store was trying to push rose-gold but he stood firm.
Lots of people assume it’s vintage because it’s quite simple and classic.. nope. It’s just right for me.
Love mine, he found the perfect vintage filigree diamond/sapphire ring. I assumed he’d talked to one of my friends because it was so close to a conversation we’d had about what I liked, but it turned out he’d ordered it before that chat ever occurred.
I loved it! It was his mom’s ring and I didn’t see it or know what it looked like til the day he proposed. We were both pretty surprised to find that it fit perfectly right away without even needing to be realized. It’s my favorite piece of jewelry. I wore it for the year we were engaged and then traded to a smaller profile wedding band… I cherish it so much.
I hated it. All that I specified that I wanted was symmetry. And it was asymmetrical.
(I left him 8 years ago, should’ve done it sooner.)
I am so happy with it. I picked it out to help remove the guessing game. Proposal was still a surprise and that’s what matters most.
Very happy, he told me to get what I wanted, he didn’t care as long as I was happy with it since I’d be the one wearing jt, so I found one I loved, showed it to him, and he bought it
Jewellery means very little to me and I don’t require any grand gestures that way, but the ring my husband gave me was one that had belonged to his aunt for many years and it has a beautiful little garnet stone in it. I still wear it every day, along with my wedding ring — which, btw, is from a company that makes high-quality silicone jewellery, as is my husband’s wedding ring. He left his entire life and career to move from the UK to Canada to be with me, can’t get a job until spousal sponsorship goes through and he obtains a work visa, right now we’re living on his savings and my government disability assistance, and I’m not a super girly jewellery sort of woman anyway and would’ve felt profoundly guilty if he’d spent a ton of money on things like rings. Tbh even if we didn’t have to be cautious with it right now, it’s just not something I’d want a lot of money to be spent on.
So yeah, I’m very happy with both rings. It’s the symbolism aspect that matters.
we selected them together, so they match.
it’s my most valued possession (my preciousssss, lol), and i wear it 24/7 with pride.
I was insanely happy. It was beautiful, exactly what I like in the right type of metal and it matched well with my wedding ring. I may have alluded to what I wanted with pictures and such but it was worth it. It also matched his wedding band.
I am now divorced but I traded in the rings for a fancy necklace and matching earrings because the place I bought them from had a policy if you bought the items from them (which I did) you could come in and get a credit for the total amount you originally spent and then you match that price to do with as you wish.
It’s exactly what I told him I liked! It also has a couple little details like a hidden halo on both sides and a half infinity band! The little details make it so much more special and unique! I love it
I love mine but I also chose it since it’s something I would wear everyday for rest of my life.
Didn’t have any
It was nice.
I was a little disappointed though. We went shopping together once. We went to 1 store. I wasn’t seriously looking at picking out a ring, I was window shopping jewelery.
He went back the next day and bought the one 1 liked.
And while I certainly did like it, it may not have been the one I actually chose to buy, had I realized his intent.
I picked it out so I’m pretty happy. Even 10 years later I think I made a great choice.
Thrilled my husband listened to what I wanted and designed it for me. One thing I only mentioned once
I feel horrible for admitting this but I hated my ring. It represented everything that would happen in my marriage and should have been a huge red flag that he didn’t love me. The ring was not what I wanted. He asked me what color and cut I wanted but ended up just getting what he wanted and what he thought I should want.
Did not like it at all. He even asked my friend what she thought and she said no, don’t get it. He still got it. Was just really excited to propose. About 6 months later I asked if I could get a quote to change something about it. He realised that it was not at all my style. I then went shopping and found exactly what I wanted. Happy. Married 6 years, together almost 10. He is the best guy in the world, but jewellery buying is not his strong suit lol
