Hi VWB! 30 bucks a year is not bad, especially for having it look like new all the time. I looked at the jewelers you suggested and there are some Scott Kay designs I love! When I get back to the states I will have to go try some on.
Even with only the white gold band I have I still stare at my ring constantly! :) It will be even more exciting when I find the perfect setting.

Zara,
I have white gold. my jeweler said he can replate it once a year for 30 bucks. My jeweler does it by appointment while I wait so that I wont have to be without it. I think white gold gives the platinum appearance without the platinum price. My wedding band is white gold too. My fiance chose palladium, which is a durable metal that looks like white gold. as soon as I dump the photos from my digital camera, I'll post a pic.

| just thought i would add to the discussion because i am trying to figure out what wedding band i should add to my engagement ring. there's a pic. of my engage ring on my spark page...it's round cut, with pave diamonds around it. i love it! i especially like to wear it while i am doing cardio...it reminds me of the upcoming wedding and inspires me to push it as hard as i can. :)

baby_goo - i have an emerald cut e-ring. i just ordered my wedding band. my e-ring has a larger stone with two smaller side stones. my wedding band will have 5 prong set emerald cut diamonds the same size as the side stones from the e-ring.
together they dont take away from the large stone in my e-ring - they just sparkle when all together :)

VWB, thanks for the suggestions! I will have to check them out. I like plain too, it´s tempting to go for something more intricate and detailed because there are so many beautiful settings out there but it´s not really my style!
I´m curious, for those who have platinum or white gold, what is your preference between the two? I´ve read quite a bit about the advantages of both and in the end I´m more tempted to go with platinum, just because I like the idea of it being stronger.
I´ve heard that white gold can be better because replating it with rhodium every so often keeps up the nice appearance and keeps it from losing material...whereas it seems you don´t plate platinum and therefore it can show a lot more wear and lose material. What do you guys think?

| Yes, I have an engagement ring. It is white gold. It has a 1/3 carat round diamond in the middle with 9 little diamonds channel set on each side. It came with a matching wedding band that has the little diamonds in a channel set (don't know how many there are). I haven't gotten my Fiance's ring yet.

| Hello! My ring is a 1 ct EMERALD cut solitaire diamond with an 18kt, white gold 4 prong band. Just curious if anyone else has an emerald cut and what they chose for a matching wedding band, I cant decide between a plain matching band (in efforts to not take away from the diamond), or something with a few little emerald cut diamonds. ~Charity

ZARA,
Not sure where u are from. There are 3 really great designers that do platinum. One is Jeff Cooper. Another is Tacori and last Diana. I have seen Scott Kay also. They are really nice. I guess it depends on your style and how simple or extravagant u want it. I like plain, but thats me.

Since I ABHOR diamonds, I got a white gold band with a oval sapphire set in the middle flanked with two extremely tiny diamonds.
Our wedding rings are going to reflect our Irish heritage and have the symbol of the claddagh surrounded by trinity knotwork. Since it doesn't match my engagement ring, at that point it will be moved to my right hand.

| Wow, you guys all have such beautiful rings, and a lot of you have some BIG HONKING ROCKS! I just got mine a week ago, it is about 1 carat in a white gold band but the idea was that I am going to pick out the setting...I want something platinum and really unique, can anyone recommend a custom designer that they really love?

Hi Ladies!
I just love looking at everyone's rings! It's so exciting. I have a picture of it on my Sparkpage, and I have a picture of my wedding dress on there too!
I love the antique/estate style rings, and DF and I went shopping back in January to give him an idea of what I like and then he popped the question one month ago! :) He did a great job--my ring is 14K white gold, 3/4 carat with 44 pave-set side stones (well, on the sides, front and back) which puts the total carat weight over a carat. I love it!
Is it just me, or does anyone else constantly stare at their ring/left hand? Like when I'm driving, at work, or pretty much all the time! :)

Here is a link to my engagement ring. The ring is actually a family heirloom. It was my fiance's great-aunt's wedding ring. All they did to change it was set the center diamond higher so that it looked more like an engagement ring.

We sent our bands to be engraved today. Ours will just have 4 letters that are like a secret code to us (I know that sounds silly) and then the date - 08/11/06.
I love looking at people's rings, keep posting! How many of you will be having your rings enraved and what will they say?

Your rings are all so beautiful! I love, love, LOVE the one with the pink sapphires, very unique.
I am getting married on August 11th. My engagement ring is 1 carat total with a 1/2 carat matching band. Our wedding rings are matching channel-set diamonds in white gold.
SARAHKRISTY117, my engagement ring looks very similar to yours. We have GREAT taste! ;) The edging on your wedding ring is lovely, it gives it a great antique feel.

I just got my dream ring. Well, its not mine yet. But I know for fact he has it because I was there when he got it..i hate suprises and he loves them..so i won on this one! It is a 3.18 round, center stone, set in a platinum antique reproduction setting. I always wanted sapphires incorporated too and it has them on the setting. It is absolutely georgous! It totals 3.78 cts. My mom says she wants to trade. There is a picture of it on the website from where we got it. My pictures of it on my hand from trying it on are on my cell phone not the computer,...yet...!

I hope he gives it to me soon!!! I wanna bling that bling! I guess this is my tradeoff, now i have to wait for his suprise!

| My engagement ring (and wedding set soon) is by a designer named Simon G. I am told there were only 66 rings made like mine in the U.S. and Canada. The center stone is a carat. The ring is platinum. There is rose gold in it. There is a tapered diamond on either side of the center stone and then a few more white diamonds on either side of that and there is one pink diamond on either side also. The wedding bands (there are two) will fit around either side of the engagement ring. I saw the ring in a bridal magazine and told him I wanted that one. Then I saw the price tag and thought there's no way I am getting that ring. Then he proposed and slipped my dream ring on my finger. :)

I received a ring for Christmas 2004!!
I absolutely adore it - its 18k yellow gold w/ a raised .5 carat center princess cut stone, with .5 ct princess cut stones on both sides...then there are 3 more princess stones on both sides. Pretty difficult to describe, but total weight is 2 carats...but it's not big and flashy - its delicate and perfect :)

My engagement ring has a platinum band with 5 tiny round stones in a pave setting, on each side of the center Asscher-cut stone. The band is matching with the tiny round diamonds going halfway around the band.
my fiance's ring is a plain comfort-fit platinum band.

| My engagement ring is a white gold eterinity band with 20 marquis diamonds. It is an antique that my fiances mother gave to him. I was TOTALLY surprised by our engagement and was really glad I never told him what I wanted because my ring is so gorgeous and special and different and I am afraid if I ever said how much I like a plain band with a solitare diamond, I would never have gotten this one!

Ohh, I love talking rings!

1.5 carat solitaire, round cut, platinum.

|
| Mines pretty simple, yet very elegant at the same time. Its white gold with 3 brilliant cut diamonds the middle one's sligtly bigger than the rest.
|
|
|

Mine is all princess cut, a .5 carat in the middle with 4 smaller ones on each side - white gold.
The wedding band is the same without the middle diamond.
Still haven't found something that he likes and matches mine :0(

LOL! I didn't know what the setting was called, but that's the only pic I've found that looks like it! Hee hee!
I used to bit my nails really bad too!! I started painting them ALL the time and that helped. I bite the inside of my cheeks now- GROSS! But at least no one can see it!

| Mine is very similar to yours, KELLINA. Although, I was told mine is called a Versace prong setting, instead of a Trellis setting, but they look very similar. My solitaire is 1.51 carats and all done in pla | |
