Today was one of the best and most memorable days of my life. We hit the road at 5am to “ride to the mountains to look at the leaves,” but little did she know this was something I had been planning for months. All I told her was that I had a few stops planned for us to see. First we got to Highlands where we visited Dry Falls and Bridal Veil falls. I then drove north to Franklin to visit the Wayah Bald lookout tower, which I heard from multiple sources that it has the best panoramic view of the Appalachian Mountains in the state. At the top of the tower we were at 5,385ft and had a crystal clear view of the mountains in NC, SC, TN and GA. The view was absolutely beautiful, although it didn’t take my breath in any comparable way that happens like when I look into this woman’s eye’s does. For the past week I’ve been a nervous wreck. Losing sleep, nonstop racing thoughts, the what ifs, the excitement, the joy, the uncertainty of the outcome, everything combined was hard to hide, but I did. At 12:04pm, with no one on the tower but the two of us and God, I got down on one knee and asked the love of my life to marry me. She smiled as big as I’ve ever seen her smile, and it was a yes. We took it all in for a little while and started the descent back down the Bald. After a short drive we came along exactly what I was hoping to find soon after leaving the Bald, a picnic table right on the bank of the Nantahala River. I asked her sit and wait in the car with my hoodie over her head so I could set up the last thing I had planned, a small lunch and celebratory toast to us. After lunch we decided to run up to Gatlinburg for a quick pit stop before heading back home. Here’s to us 🥂

He proposed at a spot we found in Central Park together 7 years ago!

My FIANCÉ asked me to be his WIFE!! My heart is so full I’ve never felt so loved and happy

Vintage amethyst antique from the Victorian era (he did so good)

Ever since I got it, whenever I look at the ring, I just think about how gorgeous it is and how much I love it. It makes me so happy and emotional.

I have had incredibly shitty luck with men in the past and when I met my fiancé, I thought it was way too good to be true. But now I’m engaged to my best friend and he makes life so amazing. Our fairytale proposal was perfect. 🥹

We’ve been together since high school. We got through college together, many many apartments, starting our careers, buying a house!! I’m so excited to be in this new chapter.

The diamond is 1.59ct, lab grown.

2.1 ct emerald cut center stone on a 4.5 size ring!

Can safely say I’m no longer a lurker!

We’ve been together for 8 years, and he did so well! I had an idea of when it was happening, but no details! He Planned a whole proposal for our anniversary trip to Rhodes, did it on the anniversary day and just look at the ring!!!

we designed the ring together, but he added the flowers as a surprise 😍

I’m in love 🥹

I’m a longtime lurker on this subreddit- I’m not even really a social media person but I had to share here! My parameters for my partner were that the ring should be antique, yellow gold, and diamond for the stone. I left the rest to him. I love it so much!!

So excited that I finally get to post here as a fiancée after following this sub for so long!🥹💍

I started my ring design and customization journey quite some time ago, and it ended up being a much longer process than anticipated because I’m a crazy person who wanted every little detail to be *just right*. So to finally see it in person, on my finger, is truly a dream come true!
I designed my ring myself and was incredibly particular about every detail, all the way down to the milgrain.

The center stone is a lab diamond custom-cut, vintage-inspired emerald, a little over 3 carats, F color (although I actually would’ve preferred something a bit warmer!).

I worked directly with Matthew at Fiorese Jewelry on the diamond, and he was an absolute saint throughout the process. As I mentioned, I was quite particular about what I envisioned, and this diamond is actually our second iteration! The first was beautiful in its own right, but ultimately wasn’t quite what I was looking for. Matthew was incredibly patient and accommodating in helping me bring my vision to life.

The setting was originally inspired by an Andria Barboné ring I fell in love with once upon a time (which you can find in one of my previous posts). Alas, she wasn’t *the one*, but that ring really kick-started this entire journey and opened up a whole new world of creativity for me. What started as simply browsing rings to get a feel for what I liked, so I could give my partner some direction and let him take it from there, turned into a full-blown, hands-on passion project for me!

I ultimately went with Ken & Dana Design for the setting, and bless their team as well, because getting to the finished piece involved plenty of back-and-forth, cracked rubies, revisions, and fine-tuning. They were so wonderful to work with throughout it all, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything came together!

Can’t believe how beautiful it is.. he surprised me & proposed today on our favorite hike with the pups. Exactly what I’d hoped for 🥰
Custom 2.7 natural oval w/ epaulets ✨

He managed to keep this a secret and surprised me while visiting Florence a week ago. Lab grown, designed it himself, 2 carats (I had agreed on a 1 carat size when we tried rings on so it being double the size was a a happy surprise lol). Still can’t believe he decided to make our forever official, I’m so happy and so in love with this man 🤍

I can’t believe it’s mine!!

Hi! I really need help. My best friend put me in charge of showing her bf all of the details about her ring and what she wants.

I’m a designer and have done drafts with her. She’s finally found what she thinks she wants. She’s not a very materialistic person and she also works with her hands so she will need a silicone ring to wear at work.

Her bf called me last night and sent me pics of his grandmothers jewelry collection and said “which one do you think?”

NONE of them. Was my first thought. She’s very artistic and just like me, was very set on a custom ring. But his GMA’s ring is free. As her best friend part of me is thinking if he’s not ready to financially invest in a ring (not crazy, like 2-3k) then he might not be ready to propose. I 100% get it. Finances are tight for everyone right now but I selfishly want her to have the ring she dreamed about.

He is saying he’s willing to look into it but his GMA’s ring was special to him. We are talking different shape entirely.

Idk what to do. I don’t want to stand in front of that sentimental value but I feel like I’m not doing my job like she told me to do.

I also think i had hives on my chest from the proposal or maybe shellfish? Idk my partner had it too but idk if it was adrenaline or the meal we had before lol

He proposed with a music video he made for me so I can rewatch it for the rest of my life but the feeling I felt is fading but I know will come back but some parts are blacked out. Still the happiest moment of my life cause we’ve been together for 10 years. Wish he secretly filmed my reaction though !

I’ve been a lurker since earlier this year when my fiance (so happy heheh!) and I were ring shopping. He proposed today and I’m so happy I can call him my fiance hehe! He made a scavenger hunt so we went to places we had dates early on and memorable places we’ve been nearby and proposed 🩵🤭 (14K rose gold with 14K yellow gold accents, one 7 millimeter princess-cut aquamarine and 46 round brilliant cut diamonds for those interested)

I picked this ring out and asked my fiance for it. I got an ad for it and loved it right away!

It's a 4.0 carat oval moissanite with marquise side stones and a yellow gold pave band. I'm a size 7. I'm going to get a matching yellow gold pave band.

I've been engaged a few months, and I still love it so much.
