I love the black diamond and that cool setting! The black pearl reminds me of a funny scene in Bullets Over Broadway where Meg Tilly (or was it her sister – I get them mixed up) gets upset when her mobster boyfriend gives her black pearls, because she thinks their defective, inferior pearls – so funny!

I gave my hubby-to-be a bunch of photos and info on the kind of ring I wanted. Eventually, he asked if I would just pick out what I wanted. Sure, it’s not super romantic. But he’s no pro at picking out jewelry and it was more romantic than me wearing a ring I don’t like for the rest of my life or asking if I could exchange it. :)

I want a coloured stone, myself.

I find diamonds horribly normal… but a sapphire? Or ruby? Pretty!!

That black diamond makes me swoon.

This is a great idea. I think I might steal it!
I have no idea if I’ll get married to The Boy, he doesn’t seem into it sadly. But rings I’ve pointed out in the past are single round diamonds on white gold or platinum bands and in reality that’s the basic engagement ring I’d be happy to get. If I got to choose a perfect one I’d like a black stone, black diamonds are beautiful, I really love onyx too though. Otherwise something totally different like this:

Would be amazing.

When my husband and I got engaged, we went to a jewellery shop to have my watch strap fixed, and started looking at rings.

I don’t wear much jewellery so I knew the engagement ring wasn’t as important to me as the wedding ring – because once I had the wedding ring that would be the only piece of jewellery I would wear all the time.

CDH (Cantankerous Drummer Husband) had a budget of $1000. The ring I chose – a vintage style with an amethyst – cost $200. He took the ring off me and surprised me later with a proposal. It was quite fun because for 3 weeks I thought everytime we went out, I thought he’d planned to propose. In the end, I woke up at 4am on morning with the ring on my finger!

Our wedding rings he designed himself as a surprise for me, and they’re beautiful and perfect. They’re a gold band (made from melted jewellery from his great-grandmother) with a rope design around each edge. He’s engraved each with “Twegan Gastus in Annes”, meaning “Two Souls as One” in Anglo Saxon. And mine is set with a ruby, his an emerald.
