Hey girlies ! Boyfriend and I are planning to get engaged some time next year and my heart (and his wallet) are set on Morganite because you can get so much for your buck, and its got this beautiful vintage appeal. I always love everyones engagement rings - but I'm a little bit eccentric and didn't want just a regular diamond. However, I haven't seen what a 2+ct morganite (i'm aware they're measured in mm's, so i think this would be around 8mm?) looks like on a 7.45 - 8 finger. I've seen tons of the morganite postings, so I don't mean to sound repetitive, but....SHOW ME YOUR RINGS!! :]
Here's the ERing i've been looking at. I'm head over heels...It's got a 2.25 center stone and an additional .2 carats of diamonds along the sides :]
I have never heard of Morganite before, is it a new type of stone?
@MissAsB: Not that I know of! I believe it's a million years old or so. I don't see too many people using them as engagement rings, though a couple of girls on this site have beautiful ones :] check them out! they're so inexpensive and really really beautiful.
I've been looking at morganite lately and I'm one of those yearning for one. I can understand the appeal of the stone to us girls. It's so beautiful. Check out BlueNile too! They have some beautiful morganite rings. :) Like the one below.

Morganite has become a good investment, due to it's scarcity. The big mine in Mozmbique shut down for good in 2010. Pieces oner 2 carats will hold the most vslue.
You are free to use that on FI if need be.
I live morganite too, so sparkly. We just started collecting it on a very small scale.
I've got a morganite ring but I don't think it's very high quality morganite. I think it's untreated so it's very pale pink rather than the more vibrant shades I sometimes see in jewellers.
@Katie Koekblik: that is beautiful!! what's your karat/ring size if you don't mind me asking? 
@sassy411: that is too funny! lmao i'll definitely have to tell him that to sweeten the deal :] though he has been very easy going when picking out the ring and has LOVED the pricetag associated with morganite.
@SpecialSundae: i would love to see a picture!! i'm sure it's beautiful :]
@MissLaduree: that ring is gorgeous! i have become OBSESSED with the idea of getting a morganite ring and can't wait to finally have it on my finger. they're so beautiful and you get such a bang for your buck!
Just got mine last night so only cell pics so far! 7.5mm on size 6 ring. Find out the actual size if you can, not carat weight as different gemstones have different densities.
Morganite in rose gold is what I would lllloooovvvvveeee for my next piece of jewelry!!!!!
The price of diamonds infuriates me. There aren't scarce. Morganite hasn't been mined in 19 mos.
The Mozabique mine found some other stuff that is used for making cell phones that is more lucrative to mine. Imagine, all of that morganite being crushed into dust.
@SpecialSundae: Mine is very pale pink as well, depending on the light but I like it like that!
@deucesarewild1: that's so beautiful!! congrats on your engagement :]!!! the one i've been looking at is 10x8 mm i'm obsessed
Mine is morganite in a yellow gold and diamond setting. 9mm (3.35 ct) round brilliant cut. My finger size is 3.5 though. Here it is in various lighting. First pic is indoors with flash, second is indoors without flash, last pic is outdoors on a cloudy day.
@northsidebride: what a rock!!!! It's Soo beautiful though :]
@deucesarewild1: I'm panting. I LOVEE the rustic quality :] sooo beautiful!
I've been in the market for a morganite right hand ring. I bought one from JTV a few months back that was about $350 for 3 karats and I ended up returning it. The saturation wasn't there for me and the setting seemed cheap, so I'm still LOOKING! But I love all feminine colored stones- pink sapphire, tourmaline, rubelite, morganite, amethyst, etc.
@mrsstobee: Here you go! My morganite in white gold. From rare earth on etsy. Bottom pics with potential wedding band styles. Love my ring been posting it all over :)
not a morganite but a pink sapphire , you can find a lot of beautiful pink stones
i don't have one, but this is my DREAM RHR
@MrsNerdy: Is that from Rare Earth? Looks like it. It is gorgeous.
@Lizabean: OH MY GODDD. your ring looks AMAZING stacked with those wedding bands.....Soo beautiful :] congrats!!!
@mrsstobee: Awww thank you so much!!! Even though I want a untraditional look I still hope it looks like E-ring and bands. I can't wait to wear them. 2014 can't come soon enough!
@Lizabean: it is from Rare Earth. I want it sooo bad!
@MrsNerdy: i thought so. She has amazing rings. I love may ring from rarer Earth.
At the store I work for we had a guy custom create a morganite engagement ring in rose gold. He wasn't my customer but I was lucky enough to see the final product. It was a BEAUTIFUL ring! I don't have a picture of the final product (that would be kind of creepy of me) but what he had done was to have the center diamond taken out of this band so that they could put a head for the morganite on. It was a two carat oval morganite that they mounted on top of this band. Looked awesome!
Here's the band he used: 
@justagirlxo88: that sounds gorgeous!! i love the rose gold, but i'm a little leary. i would def opt for something rose gold to stack as a wedding band....i've also been looking at some of these as wedding bands......opinions? i know they aren't really jazzy, but i opt for a bit more of a rustic style when choosing jewelry, and i definitely strayed from that to get a more vintage feel for the engagement ring. i wanted to mix the styles and show a little more of my personality. criticism is def welcome though, and i need honesty! my girl friends all live far away from me, so i don't get too much in terms of opinions from them :]
All, just a psa- I found a seller on ebay that does rings that pretty much look exactly as the ones from Rare Earth, even stackers for a fraction of the price. I ordered a semi-mount from him and the quality is great- seller is
@ddavila2001: thanks so much! i went on the site immediately and found one that's BEAUTIFUL for like...300 dollars....CRAZYYY. the boy will definitely appreciate this one :]
