    Hello Lovely Bees!!!

     

    Since there is a lot of hype over the size of engagement rings these days, and we are seeing more and more of them 1 carat and over, let's all maravel in our beauties that don't make the 1 carat cut, but neither do they need to! My fiance's family are quite materialistic, and when they saw my ring, they openly were looking for the other half. Then one of the cousins got engaged and because her ring was a 1 carat solitaire they approved of that and ooohed and ahhhed over it while with mine they simply said "that's nice" or "pretty". or "cute". Oh and I did get one person who actually chuckled and said "that's it??".  So for you Bees out there that are proud of your dainty and elegant rings like I am of mine...(my mother helped my fiance pick it out =D) lets show the 1 carateers that beauty comes in small packages too!! :)

     

    Mine is a .51 carat weight in total. Simple Cell phone pictures, no fancy equipment or lighting. Pictures don't do it justice or show it's brilliance like it does in real life unfortunately.

    Love them for their promise!

    @AlmostVangor - Thanks! Though I must give credit to my FI for the wedding band. When we went to look at bands, he pointed it out because I love green. I would have never thought to try it on!

    Wow, more and more beauties I'm seeing!! Lilubird that is a BEAUTIFUL ring my dear and whoever took that picture did it perfectly!!! 

    peachbaby4008 my ring was setting with ordered diamonds. So you can easily get the setting at Peoples or Mappins or Zales, and order the type of diamonds you want, according to the four C's, including the size carat :)  Good luck sweetie I'm sure whatever your wonderful man gets you is going to be beautiful, as all these rings and symbols of love and commitment are!!! :)

    Beautiful rings ladies! Mine is either .62 or .67 I always mix it up. And I couldn't be more happy with it. Would I have accepted a larger diamond? Yes. Would I have accepted a smaller diamond? Yes. I'm just thrilled to marry my best friend!

    My e-ring total carat weight is 1/3 ct. and with the wedding band is 1/2 ct. I'm SO happy that I've found others who like their smaller rings, helps me be more appreciative. This ring set is one of my FI's grandmother's sets that she got for an anniversary. I already feel like I'm family.
