It's all about ---THE RING!

[miss priss]

Hey what type of wedding ring do you have/want?
Pics would be great!

I have a simple gold band.....butuhrah I am waiting on a bling bling on my right !

[littlelady93]

Here's a question, would you settle for a small ring now if you knew you would get a bigger one later, or would you want your actual ring now? I'm wondering because the way my boyfriends buget is now, this type of ring is no where in my near future.

If I could get my ideal ring now, this is exactly what I want (now if I get it is the question). I don't think that it is too gaudy, I would love to have my wedding band set in stone to really set my ring off, then I want my engagement ring to be princess cut, I would love platinum, but I've seen some pretty white gold rings. And the caret size, I'd love 2 , but 1.5 is very nice too. Hopefully by the time me and my boyfriend are ready to get engaged, I'll be suprised with an amazing ring. Me and my friend were just looking at rings yesterday.

I myself settled on the small ring for several reasons...
1. cost
2. I like simplicity....one ring no more than two per hand
3. and the look
but I think that it doesn't necessarily matter what you get now because you can always upgrade...

I have:
1. Platinum
2. 3/4 carat
3. Round

I want:
1. Platinum
2. No less than 1 carat (2 would be nice)
3. Princess cut

I will take a chip of GLASS on a dirty band as long as the brother hurry up and propose!!!

I really don't have too much of a preference as long as it's something that he put a lot of thought into. The only thing that I do want is for it to be either white gold or platinum. I HATE yellow gold. I've always loved the rings that had an antique look to them, but I really can care less.

Littlelady, I am LOVING that ring! I would definitely like to have that on my finger. I have a question though...if your finger is really tiny, do they take out some diamonds for ya?

I've always wondered that too, I have extremely little fingers, the promise ring I wear now always twists around my finger in the winter,and I've had it tightened as much as I could. Hopefully my wedding band will fit better. As much as I would love 1.5 or 2 carets, that may look like too much on my fingers

May I ask how old you all are? LOL (U don't have to answer)

I'm Jewish, and Jewish tradition holds that a wedding ring must be plain metal (gold/silver/platinum/whatever) without gems, so that the value of the ring cannot be misrepresented. I prefer white gold, my husband prefers yellow gold, so our wedding rings (which match) are yellow gold with a white gold inlaid design.

My engagement ring is a classic Tiffany-cut diamond in a platinum band. It's relatively small, but it looks right on me since I have long narrow fingers. A few people told me I could have it re-set as a side stone in a 10th or 20th anniversary band but you know what... it's my engagement ring the way it is now. Mr. aephi alum will just have to buy me a really nice pair of earrings for our anniversary.

lol. I'm 22, but have no intentions of getting married anytime soon. Hopefully around 26 or 27, I want to have my masters and be financially secure and of course ready.

Don't be broadcasting it all over the 'net, surprise her. Doesn't she peep in from time to time?

I'd be happy with a simple, white gold or platinum band. I used to want a 2ct rock, but it's just not important to me anymore, for a number of reasons.
