I posted these photos when my ring arrived last January. They''re not the greatest photos ''cause I think I had the flash too close to my ring, but I thought I''d add them to this thread anyway, ''cause my center stone is .93 ct:
Here is a 0.468 AGS000, G, VS2 that I need some idea for. I was thinking a pendant or a RHR, I just can''t decide. All the rings on this thread are so lovely.
I totally agree about seeing all the huge stones here. It had me thinking mine was too small, but really, I love my ring. I have somewhat small hands (was a 4.75 before I put some weight on, which I am in the process of losing) and we are a young married couple with 2 small kids. I am blessed enough to not have to work and we got a killer deal on the new e-ring. My old e-ring had a 3/8 carat center stone so this is most definitely an upgrade for me. Plus, I love the antique, platinum setting! I remember seeing my best friend''s .90 carat RB solitaire and thinking it was massive.
Some of you ladies have been very blessed with some amazing jewelry and I LOVE to look at it in the eye candy threads! But we shouldn''t forget to appreciate the beauty of the smaller stones while we are in awe of the honkers.
Ok my center stone is .84 carats and the Tw is .96. Here''s a pic (on the seller''s hand.. a size 3.75) It''s being sized right now up to a 5.25, but I get to pick it up tomorrow! Hopefully I''ll be able to take some new pics then. original thread here
Here''s another antique ring I got really cheap off of ebay. I don''t know the carat weight, but I bought the ring because of the filigree work on the gallery.

MAchick, your east west ring is stunning. I''m a sucker for east-west settings, especially for marquise. I''m thinking about getting an e-w marquis eternity band for me wedding ring. I love the hidden sapphires. I love little surprise details like that, too. Very pretty!
All of your rings are absolutely lovely ladies! I''m jealous of all of you girls with tiny fingers...I''m a size 7 and I''m getting about 1/2 carat that''s been in my sweetie''s family for years. Congratulations on all of your beautiful sparkles!

My finger is size 7.5 and I have long fingers, so I looked all over for a wider band on an engagement ring to balance out the length and get the look I was trying to go for. FI chose the center stone (bigger than I expected - a pleasant surprise!) and we picked the setting together. The center stone has a wide table so it faces up bigger than it actually is.

Ladies, I don''t know where to start, they are all so lovely!
I enjoy looking at this thread just as much as the honker threads.
These are some truly beautiful rings here!
