<---- My e-ring is my avatar.
A yellow sapphire ring with a double halo of yellow sapphires and diamonds.
The color of the clothing I wear wasn't even a consideration when debating what color stone I was going to get. I knew that I LOVED yellow sapphires and that was it.
There's really no need to be THAT coordinated in the big scheme of things.
I have a blue diamond, and honestly, I never worried about the stone matching any of my clothing. I absolutely love the ring my FI chose, and in my own mind (though I might be a bit crazy...), I like to think that everything I wear enhances the blue of the stone, not clashes with it.
I have a center diamond with two sapphire sidestones and I've never given a thought to how it matches. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my ring and couldn't care less!!!
Although.... lol, now that I think about it, I do tend to wear a lot of blue... so it works out!
My stone is a tsavorite garnet (it's emerald green) and I have never thought twice about it matching what I'm wearing. It's just my ring!
My wedding band has some emeralds in it, and I didn't worry about clothing when I chose it. I figure my ring is my ring.
Hahaha. I TOTALLY hear you. I have a lilac sapphire and was concerned about being able to wear red with it. I have some really smokin' red dresses that I love. Lol. The first few weeks that I had my ring I will confess to trying to match my outfits with it which, in retrospect, is kind of hilarious. Needless to say I still wear red sometimes, and it doesn't clash THAT badly... not to mention I'm pretty sure little neurotic me is the only one who would ever notice that anyways.
I don't think matching it with your general wardrobe palate is crazy though. I wear a lot of pastels and greys so it works out perfectly and I think as an adult you know which colours you are more bound to wear. If you wear a lot of warm bright colours then power to you girl! Yellow stones are stunning!
Okay, I had a three stone ring with diamonds and rubies. (Diamond in the middle, two rubies flanking it). I wore it for 6 years before getting my upgrade ring. Honestly, yes, sometimes the rubies bothered me. I think more subtle colors would blend in, blue or yellow or even pink, but my stones were a bright blood red color. It felt odd sometimes wearing it with pink, or whatever. I do love the flash of color though, and miss it sometimes!
Nope! I never really cared if it matched all my clothes. I have been a fan of black diamonds for awhile. I got a black diamond with white diamonds on the band though so the ring matches everything I wear really. I admire the ring most of all cuz of what it symbolizes between my FI and I and that it's a gift from him.
@LaurenK0105: Would you consider a yellow sapphire? Citrine and topaz tend to be very fragile, so for an every day ering it might not be ideal.
I have a light blue sapphire and I never even thought to match it to my clothes. I don't think people would be like, OMG, her ring doesn't match her dress ahahaha. It just seems silly to me, get whatever you want!!
I have a light blue sapphire too and it "matches" everything. Even if it didn't I wouldn't worry about it:)
I have a moissanite e-ring and a diamond wedding band but I wear a CZ sapphire birthstone ring and a CZ peridot birthstone ring stacked with my set (I've posted quite a few pictures you've probably seen it). The colored rings don't bother me at all but I'm not sure if I could have made the commitment to a colored gemstone e-ring. I like having the set I have because if I really feel it doesn't match what I'm wearing then I could just wear my wedding band and e-ring.
If I did get a colored stone e-ring I would have either gone with blue (dark blue sapphire) or green because they are both neutrals and go with just about everything. A yellow or bright red stone might stand out a bit more.
I have an amethyst but I wear a ton of black,white and grey so it always "goes" with my outfit.
I'm more worried about nail polish, tbh. I used to love wearing bright neon polish but it just looks weird against my pale purple stone.
@KatyElle: I would be perfectly fine with a yellow sapphire. The problem here is my SO seems pretty insistent on a blue sapphire! We looked at some E-rings online and I would gush over any yellow gemstone and he'd be like "oh but look, here's this blue sapphire!" Then I started freaking out, what if he already got me a blue sapphire E-ring and is trying to make sure he's made the right choice so I tried to complement some blue ones. I have no problem with the blue, I just love yellow 10x more.
@all: You're making me feel much better about the huge possibility my guy will go with a blue sapphire and the fact that the colors that look best on me are in the hot pink/salmon/orange/peach/yellow range. It's good to know that people aren't like "man that chick is crazy wearing a blue ring with an orange shirt." It would probably drive me nuts for the first couple weeks/months, but I'm sure I'd get used to it. I love my peridot ring and maybe could get used to wearing mismatched rings by wearing it with everything I own until my SO actually proposes.
@LaurenK0105: I know, I just thought maybe yellow sapphire would be a good compromise since he seems set on a sapphire and you seem set on yellow? I didn't know if it was a durability issue on his part.
Just tell him flat out "Honey, yellow is a happy color that makes my heart sing, and it's a color I'd love to look at on my hand forever." Hopefully he'll do the right thing! He should also know that many fabulous celebrities such as Carrie Underwood and Heidi Klum rock yellow engagement rings if he's worried that people won't associate it with an ering.
Mine is an orange sapphire; doesn't match a single item in my wardrobe. In fact, I do not even like the color orange at all; however, this ring is so beautiful; not at all something I would have been drawn too, but as a ring, it is so perfect.
I have a blue sapphire and not once has it ever bothered me. And my sapphire is a very bright blue color.
Also, not to be a color nerd, but actually blue is the opposite of orange on the color wheel which makes them perfect complementary colors. If you look around, you'll see a lot of blue and orange in decorating schemes these days. So a blue sapphire definitely won't clash with your orange and red wardrobe.
I would never worry about that. Not in regard to my ering, I really wouldn't mind. I like mixing it up.
@namarie: Good point, and I love the Mets and their colors are blue and orange. This is what I told my SO to make him feel better in case he had already gotten a blue sapphire, hahah.
@KatyElle: Yes I should tell him that! You sound just like how I talk. I don't think he's worried about it not being thought of as an E-ring, I think he wants to go with sapphire because he doesn't want to be "cheap." I'm totally fine with "cheap" and told him I'd like him to stay under $200. We were looking at rings and I saw one about $900 and I said "holy crap! that's too much, scroll down!" He said that's pretty good for an E-ring and then asked me if I was really a girl. I've been really wanting local citrine from a gem mining place we frequent and previously he was happy with that but all of a sudden he's going all fancy on me!
@noritake22: Oooh I want to see a picture!
@LaurenK0105: I will post a picture when I do my recaps. I am waiting for our photographer to finish loading our pictures to their site and also for them to send me the disk with all of the pictures. You can semi sort of see it at this link in the second to last picture.
I wear a right hand ring with an emerald solitaire and diamond pave halo/band every day, regardless of what I'm wearing. I feel where you're coming from; when my husband first gave me the ring, I worried that I'd only want to wear it when it matched my clothes. I got over that quickly. Emeralds are very special to me, as I have memories of my grandmothers and my mother gifting me emerald jewelry when I was a little girl (because it's my birthstone), and them telling me that it matches my eyes. As it turned out, I even wore the ring on my wedding day, even though green wasn't one of our wedding colors. I love the photos where the emerald is near my eyes, makes me think of my grandmothers. :)

I've been wanting a citrine/yellow topaz e-ring, but my SO seems to really be pushing towards a blue sapphire. My favorite color is yellow and there isn't a single color that I don't think yellow matches, but I do love blue sapphire too and think blue is a super color as well. I just wear a lot of oranges and reds sometimes and sapphire doesn't really look so awesome with those colors.
When you picked your gemstone, did you keep in mind what it matched with? And, do you think it looks weird if your e-ring doesn't match your clothes?
THANKS!!
