So per the LIW list instructions, now that I'm on the list I'm introducing myself, although I've been posting for a couple days now.

My SO and I have been dating for 3 years and he just moved in to my house. While I know he wants to wait til he is closer to being done with graduate school (2 more years, ugh) He just started talking about at least going to try some rings on. :) Somehow he has the idea that I wouldn't know what I'd want :)

I've got a small but growing collection of gemstone jewelry and lurk in the Colored Stones forum all the time (and maybe spend an unhealthy amount of time on the forums), and am hoping the SO listens when I state firmly that I'd like a Sapphire center stone. :)

So, I may be here for a year or so, but I'm glad to enter the list at number 118.

Hopefully I'll get to know all of you in the months and months ahead.

welcome! im fairly new on here as well.. Good luck with the engagement, i started off as 118 and i beleive im either 106 or 104 now... sometimes u tend to move up the list pretty quickly it seems.

I like the idea of ur engagement ring, not going with a traditional diamond, and i like it!! I did pick my ring out as well.. when i started all i knew was i wanted a solitaire and a round diamond...

It only took me a full day of going around everywhere i possibly could to find the perfect ring.. We went to a local jewerler for the last place that day and i fell in love!!! :) so he put a down payment on it and it is finally paid off!! now its just waiting for the engagement !

Good luck again!
 
welcome maebelle! Hope your stay here is sweet and short!

Nicole: omg.. you found your perfect ring in just one day????!?!?!?! How did you do that? My setting alone, took me almost 1 month to find. The diamond.. omg.... so much longer! I guess I'm way too picky.
 
haha yea i mean.. i know what i wanted, round 1 k.. it actually took me longer pick my band out.. it was from the same place, but we spent a good 2 hrs there...but thats the one i wanted, and thats the one ill get.. hehe :)
 
Welcome! I love sapphires, they're so beautiful, so I love your idea of not being so traditional.

Maybe he'll surprise you and it won't take as long as you think ;))

Actually it's only in the last 100 years or so that a diamond has been the "traditional" choice for engagmnet rings due mostly to some very cleaver marketing by De Beers. Prior to this coloured stones were much more popular then diamonds for engagment rings.

Maebelle- Welcome to LIW :wavey: , good luck on your sapphire surch and I hope your stay on the list is short and sweet.
 
Haha, Thanks everyone.

:)
 
Welcome to LIW!!! May your stay be short and sweet!!!
 
Welcome, welcome!
 
It's great to meet you! I'm actually new here, too, so I will have to make sure that I'm added to the list.

My boyfriend and I have gone to several different jewelry stores to look at rings. We started looking back in February/March. It's so weird, because I was absolutely sure that I wanted a Tacori three-stone ring with princess cut diamonds, and with little diamonds on the sides of the band. When I saw that ring in person though, I realized that I didn't like it nearly as much as I did in the pictures! I decided really quickly that I actually want a solitaire princess cut.

So yeah, it's definitely great that you are looking at different rings in person! :)
