Real life perspective

Ok I''m gonna try to attach one of mine.
Please excuse the super dirty interior of our van it is FI''s work van for hauling tools and such.
So I am sitting on the passenger seat when I took this and the ring is on the driver''s seat and I didn''t zoom in at all...

 

[btrflygrl23]

Don''t ask about the blistex I was bored and trying to be creative with my surroundings LOL!
I''ll try to find more shots from far away this is fun by the way

Maisie,

Your new ring is absolutely gorgeous!!!

I just love the proportions of your rings to your hand. I''m about the same size as you so I was wondering if you could tell me how wide your ering and band are?

Thanks!

Thank you so much! My wedding ring is 3mm and the ering is just under 3mm underneath the shank and the top part is knife edge so its pointy but around the same width - if that makes sense! I will try to attach a close up shot.

 

[Maisie]

On its own..

maisie -

i looked at honey''s new wedding band from WF (2mm channel set) and thought of you. have you seen her photos? it''s look great with your ring!

 

[Maisie]

Yes and I thought the same thing lol! Stop encouraging me!! Bad Whitby!!

 

[whitby_2773]

("Good Whitby! Good girl! Good enabling Whitby!")

 

[Maisie]

Lol! My husband will have a fit if I buy anything else! Then it will be all Whitbys fault!!

Here is a fun one that I found in my pile of pics. It may be hard to see the diamond as it captured a flash of green but i like it. It''s a 0.5 ct in a halo setting....

 

[elle_chris]

2.52ct, ring size 7 1/2.

mhm.. haha

I had a 2ct before this one and I thought that was fine too, but figured why not go for bigger the second time around. But now even though I''ve had the ring for over a year, no upgrade urges at all.

 

[plethora23]

Here''s one of mine. It''s a 3.03 H&A with halo on a 4.75 finger

 

[geckodani]

Okay. I'm a goof. But here you go.

.75 on a size 6.25 finger.

 

[littlemissbliss]

here is mine -- excuse my hideous hands and abnormally long fingers

2 ct oval center, 1.4 ctw pears, ring is size 5 3/4 (needs to be size 5ish)

Here is my ring, it is a 1.5 round brilliant w/trillion side stones each .25. I think I wear a size 5 or 5 1/4.

You are so cute!!!!!

And now I want cheesecake.

Whitby, I am sure your hands are beautiful
If you could see my hands in person, you would see what I mean. FI was SURE my ring size would turn out to be 12 or something close to it. He occasionally jokes that I have man hands

, which worked in my favor when it came time for a diamond purchase since a girl can''t have a little diamond swallowed up by her man hands, right?

Anyway, turns out my fingers are not fat, but they are extremely long so my hands look very big. They match my feet -- size 10 (and I am only 5''4")

Keep these pictures coming ladies! I am lovin'' this thread!

 

[arjunajane]

1.25ct RB on size 4.75..

 

[arjunajane]

I would feel the same way if I had a honkin 2ct

At least I think I would lol!

I love your ring AJ! Its one of my favourites!

 

[idreamofcushions]

I have nothing to add, except to say that I love this thread! I love seeing how erings look IRL (though I enjoy the macro-setting pics as well

)

 

[Diamond*Dana]

Whitby, you do not have a big head, lmao!
Gecko...you haircut is so CUTE...I love it!
