Engagement Rings... To have and to hold :)

It's been awhile since my last entry, so I figured, it's time for more ogling!

Here are my picks for engagement rings-- let's face it, given the choice, not everyone is satisfied with a solitaire (again I say this, given the choice!) The more creative, the better-- it adds more character to the ring, right? But hey, if the solitaire is a big stone-- the rule about "the bigger the better" totally works!
INDULGE!!

Fay Cullen light yellow diamond over 2 carats surrounded by white round diamonds, giving this ring that "sunburst" look. It's gorgeous. It better be. It's priced at US$15,000!

Fay Cullen cabochon emeralds and sapphires with a central Old european cut diamond over 2 carats. Another yummy ring with a unique character to it. I love cabochons and these are custom cut pieces made to fit the setting! US$12,000.

MS Rau Antiques captivating emerald with diamonds (Edwardian style) ring. Cabochon emerald stone is a stunning 4 carats, flanked by 2 old european cut diamonds each weighing over 1.5 carats. Price is stunning too, at US$44,500.

MS Rau Antiques 9.44 carat fancy intense yellow diamond ring (internally flawless) with over 1.20 carats of white diamonds as side stones transcends time. Nothing really beats big bling except a big colored diamond bling. This is certainly no exception. A huge rock like this merits bodyguards and an arm sling :D US$260,000.

SJ Phillips pear shaped ruby and diamond ring. This is a very unusual 2 stone ring, set with surrounding diamonds and calibre rubies. Priced at over £10,000.

Enjoy looking at the rings and I hope you find inspiration in them :)
