I’m in the Club Now! No Longer a Lurker 🙂 (feat. Archie and His Paws)
Hello, lovelies! 🎉
After months of admiring from the sidelines, I’ve finally decided to jump into the conversation and share my own engagement ring story—complete with my trusty sidekick, Archie! 🐾 It feels like I’ve graduated from a quiet observer to an honored member of our beautiful community.
A Journey of Love and Sparkle
Let me start by introducing my stunning engagement ring, which I can’t help but show off (let’s be honest—what’s the point of being in this community if I can’t share a little bling?). My fiancé surprised me with a gorgeous round-cut diamond nestled in a unique vintage-inspired setting. Honestly, the moment I slipped it on, I couldn’t stop staring!
But enough about me—this post isn’t just about flaunting my new treasure. It’s about celebrating this community and connecting with all of you who share a passion for engagement rings!
Archie’s Contribution
Now, let’s talk about Archie. He’s not just a cute face—his little paws often end up in my ring pictures (I like to think he’s my unofficial photographer). Plus, he’s always there for emotional support when I have those “what if I don’t like the ring?” moments. Can any pet parents relate?
Let’s Spark a Discussion
I want to hear all about your engagement rings! Whether you’re currently engaged, planning to be, or simply love admiring beautiful rings, there’s a space for all of us here. Here are a few questions to get the conversation started:
- What style did you choose for your ring (classic, vintage, modern, etc.)?
- Why did you pick that particular stone and setting?
- Do you have a story behind your ring that holds special meaning?
- Have you gone through any trials (like resizing or repairs) with your ring?
- Was there a ‘ring moment’ or a memory that stands out during the proposal?
And of course, no discussion is complete without visuals—so feel free to share pictures of your rings. Bonus points if you include your furry friends like I did with Archie!
Let’s Learn Together!
Let’s also use this space to educate one another about gems, cuts, and settings. I know some members here are pros, while others, like me, are just starting to dip our toes in the water. If you have any tips on what to look for when buying a ring (or your favorite gemstone stories), don’t hold back!
A Warm Welcome
I can’t wait to read your stories and engage in some sparkling conversations. Thank you all for creating such a welcoming space for those of us who are excited to join in on the fun!
So, without further ado, here’s my ring and Archie—ready to add a little extra sparkle to our community!

Let’s chat! What does your ring represent to you?




Your ring is beautiful and please tell Archie he’s adorable and give him some scritchies for me!
Archie: “Excuse me, why are you putting my ring on your finger?”
The little cat paw so cute! Congrats and it’s beautiful on you! 🥰
That’s a gorgeous ring, congrats!
GAHgeous!! Thanks for sharing
Archie approves of mommy’s beautiful ring.
I loveee the size of baguettes on your ring. They compliment your center stone so well. Do you happen to know the dimensions of the baguettes and how wide your band is?
Its a 1.7 ct lab grown emerald (with a hardening treatment) with an ascher cut center stone and two .97 Ct lab grown baguette diamonds set in platinum!
Edit for clarification on the side stones.
