My engagement ring!
Though I am an extreme lover of weddings, I will freely admit I’m not a connoisseur of engagement rings. There was never one particular style or shape I loved or hated, so I knew I wanted to try on a few different options before John or John and I settled on the final pick. Going into our “looking” trip, I thought I knew that I wanted a very thin, yellow gold band, I DIDN’T want a halo, and I was most interested in oval-shaped diamonds. Here are a few of the images I gathered in the days before our trip:

And, well, here’s what I ended up with!
Surprise! I ended up with a halo, since it turns out I liked halos, just not ones that were bezel-set. Ovals just weren’t my shape :)
As for the yellow gold? I LOVE it! All in all, I think my ring is sparkly, while still being classic and simple. I couldn’t ask for anything more!
For those of you who are also yellow or rose gold lovers, here’s a little more engagement ring inspiration…

What does your engagement ring look like?
It is gorgeous and so you! John has always had great taste :)
beautiful!!!! i'll let you know what my engagement rings looks like when i get one;) so excited for you and john!!!!!
I always kinda pined for that "loved" ring. I ended up with a ruby – which was totally unique and chosen by my LOVE so I totally adore it. But now I only wear my wedding band which is a thin yellow gold band. It doesn't match my engagement ring at all. :)
Congratulations!!
It's absolutely perfect for you, Emily!
