That ring is definitely different than the "norm" but who cares about the norm?! If YOU like it, and especially the meaning beneath it, then that's all that matters. I think that ring is just gorgeous! The "diamond ring" thing is mostly common in the USA, I think....my best friend just got engaged in London and hers wasn't even a diamond at all, it was an amethyst!

Congrats on your engagement, by the way! That's really exciting!

It can be whatever you want. I always said I wouldn't mind a nice BIG emerald as my wedding ring stone. I love green.
My bosses wife has a big sapphire as hers, it is beautiful.

No, an engagement ring doesn't have to be traditional diamond! A good friend got a gorgeous Blue Sapphire engagement ring. My niece got a gorgeous Emerald with diamonds (her birth stone is emerald - his is diamond!) and many of us got heirloom rings as engagement rings. I think anything should be considered - back in the olden days any ring of precious material was considered as an engement ring - it's the intention that counts and what the woman would be comfortable and enjoy! I think yours is lovely!

Beth, the woman with who I volunteered, was the first person I'd seen who has a saphire as an engagement ring. I'm quite suprised to hear that there are so many others. Is the saphire the traditional engagement stone for a certain country or culture, or am I just sheltered until now?!

And I forgot to mention... congratulations on the engagement!

Ohh I would totally do that! My boss has his wedding ring tattooed on him, but he sometimes wears a gold band on top of it. His wife doesnt have a tattoo of her ring.

I think traditional engagement rings are pretty, but they get so *yawn*. Everyone and their grandma (literally) has one. I like to see people change it up a bit

I have a Marquise diamond engagement ring with a small diamond on either side of it. I got that ring when I was only 17!! I've had it for 19 years now!! My wedding band was a plain gold band. With my lupus, my hands swelled really badly one day and I got my rings off, except for the wedding band. It got so bad, I had to get it cut off. I was heart broken. I asked my hubby to get it fixed. Well for Christmas this year he replaced it with a diamond eternity band! I was shocked to say the least. I think whatever makes you happy. I don't think it matters the cost either. My husband paid on my engagement ring for 6 years!!! He wanted to get me something big. It's what's in the heart that really matters.

How sweet to get a great replacement for your wedding band. Two years ago we upgraded mine. I got a 1/2 carat Marquise diamond with 2 round and 2 bagettes on each side and a diamond anniversary band. I was completely shocked and surprised. I think the total weight of the new one is a carat not sure. I never thought I would have one that size. But, size doesn't matter. I love my old one just the same.

I had a traditional wedding set, then when my mother died, I got her rings. I wear her engagement ring and hubby bought a wrap to go with it. I wear 4 rings, other than the engagement ring, he bought them all so I don't wear any kind of wedding band. My wedding set is in my jewelry box. When I look at it....gee, is THAT stone tiny tiney
