Please me choose a ring… 💍

I'm not a fan of green so would always choose the sapphire. Maybe choose by what colour clothes you wear most.

I chose a Victorian style ring for an engagement ring as I wanted a flat setting that I could wear all the time. I expected to choose sapphires and diamonds as sapphire is my birth stone, but fell in love with a ruby and diamond one. Once I'd seen it, nothing else compared. I still wear it on the other hand despite being divorced for many years! My knuckles on my right hand are fatter too so I can't get it off!

FannyCornforth have you decided?

Hi Fanny! Good to see you back.

I like both of them, but would probably go with the emeralds for the reasons already mentioned. It is a beautiful ring, whichever stone you choose.

Congratulations FannyCornforth. For me it would have to be either a sapphire or for preference a diamond. I have just bought myself a ring (can't show you a picture yet as its being sized for me) a Clogau (sorry to the Welsh if I have spelt this wrong) circlet. I was congratulating myself on having survived yet another of DH's house moves.

The sapphire stones look a beautiful colour, not too dark and they really stand out,
With the emeralds they too look a good colour but I would make sure they are not at all cloudy or dull, and also not on the pale side.
I think the amethyst doesn't look as 'good' ( expensive!) as the others or as classic - not so good for every day wear either.

I love that ring - it's like medieval jewellery.
I would choose the blue stone.

Mainly because my mother told me emeralds brought bad luck to a marriage; this she backed up with various stories of people she had known who experienced Terrible Times because they had worn emeralds (and should have known better...)

I was told pearls mean tears, but then most brides used to wear them?

Any decision yet FC?

All I can suggest is that you try them all on and then you’ll be able to see which one suits you best.
They all look lovely from the pictures, but really, they need to be viewed “in the flesh” to get a true feel, I think.
Come back later and let us know which one (if any) you went for, or if you chose something completely different 😁.

They are both lovely however I would pick the emerald as it is my favourite stone. Congratulations and enjoy your lovely ring.

Depends on your Birthday month. January is garnet, February is amethyst, March is aquamarine, April is diamond, May is emerald, June is alexandrite, July is ruby, August is peridot, September is sapphire, October is tourmaline, November is topaz, December is blue topaz.
