A thread on parenting got me thinking, what is your dream ring? Don't take your current ring/situation into consideration. I'm talking about you getting engaged right now and your significant other has unlimited funds and wants you to choose whatever ring you want. What do you pick??

I am so bad at questions like this, but I'm really excited to read and see the responses. My tastes tend to change too. I always thought I wanted a solitaire, then I went through a stage where only princess cut was pretty to me. I actually have a split shank and I never in a million years thought I would like that.

guster, I had to Google what a split shank style ring was! When we went to look for rings before we got engaged, I was into wearing those really big cocktail rings. Much more of a statement piece then anything else. When the jeweler worked with me, she knew I wanted something wide on my finger. And I do like that it takes up most of the space before the first knuckle (especially with the wedding bands) In an effort to keep things a little simpler lately, mh bought me an eternity band for our fifth anniversary this past August. I've been wearing it alone for the last month, and I'm surprised how much I like the daintier look.

+eleventy to the single round solitaire on a plain band or with a band that's a bit more antique-y with some filigree. So pretty!

I loved the ring my 1st husband bought me. It was 3 emerald cut diamonds and the middle one was larger.
I told y'all my coworker bought it from me, right? I thought she wanted the diamonds to make her own ring, but she lied. I have to see that ring every day I go to work. Lol.

I'm honestly not a big jewelry person. I love the ring he bought me on our honeymoon and when we vacation I usually just wear that in place of my wedding ring.

That would annoy me. Either way. My mom has a lot of nice jewelry. My aunt used to work as a jeweler and got her a lot of nice pieces for cheap. I can't wait to dip everything in white gold though lol. She said she'd leave money in the will for it since she knows I hate yellow gold. My stupid cousin stole her original engagement ring though which I loved and her 3 caret diamond bracelet. Which I didn't love but I could have used the diamonds to make something I did love. I'm still pissed about that.

I don't ring. I have an engagement ring and a wedding band. I wear neither. It's never been a thing for me. Plus, I'm not a jewelry person at all.

Basically a huge cushion cut diamond on a dainty pave band. I'd get matching pave bands (2) to go around as the wedding ring. I also like the idea/look of this but not rose gold.

If I upgraded my ring to a larger stone, I think it would be my dream ring. It's a solitaire with diamond band and matching wedding band and I got a second matching band for our 1st anniversary. My rings are really the only jewelry I wear. I love the ones you posted too trtlcrzy!

Pete bought me my dream ring. 1.7 carat emerald cut center stone with 1.4 carat band that is sort of vintage/Art Deco.
I guess it could be a little bigger but it seems about right for the size of my hand.

I would love a dainty ring and band but my fat Ukrainian fingers think otherwise.
My current rings would definitely not be my first choice, let's say that i've grown to like them
Speaking of, they are getting sized right now, plated and a deep clean. I can't wait to get them back Friday.
