Can A 3 Stone Ring With A Pink Sapphire In The Middle Be Considered An Engagement Ring?

I purchased a 3 stone engagement ring. The two outside smaller stones were diamonds and the middle larger stone was fake so I had it replaced with a pink sapphire. I have shown and spoken to a couple people and they said that I should leave it. They feel that like myself it is different. Others have said I should have it replaced with a real diamond.

I think it sounds like a lovely engagement ring. If it would make you feel better, do as someone else suggested and get a wedding band with diamonds and little sapphires in it to match.
I think your gf will love it!
ANY ring can be considered an engagement ring.
I know someone who wanted an emerald for an engagement ring.
What will please your fiance? That’s your answer.
Of course! An engagement ring doesn’t have to be a diamond. I have a dress ring that is pink topaz with diamond shoulder stones, and it would make a great engagement ring – it’s gorgeous! I, myself, have diamonds, but my husband chose it and I love it!
My engagement ring is my birthstone, an oval aquamarine stone surrounded by 2 rows of small diamonds. I love it and everyone that sees it says the same thing. Any ring can be an engagement ring. So, if YOU like it then leave it like it is.
I think the ring sounds beautiful! Engagement rings do not have to be diamonds – the trend now is to have an alternative anyways.
as long as he popped the question. its an engagement ring.. i have a pearl engagement ring.. leave it.. it could hurt his feelings. and could cause problems in marriage ..ok
Ick no. Unless she LOVES pink sapphires it is not an engagement ring. It needs to be all diamonds to be a real engagement ring.
If the lady likes it. ANY ring can be an engagement ring if you are both happy with it.
The whole “tradition” that a ring should be diamonds and worth a certain amount is nonsense, honestly it was a marketing ploy from the diamond companies, in Victorian times they favoured opals, the diamond companies saw it as an opportunity to make more money, funny how many people got sucked in by that pack of lies lol. An engagement ring can be anything, the value of it is not the important issue. I think a pink sapphire set this way would be beautiful, she is a lucky girl.
I think an engagement ring shoule be unique to each couple. If she would love it and you love it then keep it. You can always give it to her and change it later if you choose to do so. I think colored stones are beutifull and very unique and special.
ANY ring can be an engagement ring. Mine for example is diamond and saphire. Everyone loves it, its fun not to have the same old boring center diamond solitare. I applaud you for being creative.
A piece of string can be an engagement ring.
It really depends on what your girlfriend likes. I think most women like to show of their diamond but there are a few women out there who might like something different. My aunt actually got a blue diamond. She liked blue and hated the traditional white diamond. Just ask your girlfriend and if you want it to be surprise then ask her mom and maybe she can tell you what her daughter likes. When my husband bought my ring, I didn’t care that is was small and cheap. I was just so excited that he wanted to marry me. After we had been married 5 years then he bought me a Hearts on Fire diamond and then a few months later we went and picked out a setting and watched a jeweler make the ring. It was so cool to do it together. You can always upgrade or get something different down the road. It is all up to you in the end.
That you picked the ring and selected the center stone yourself will mean more to your fiance than diamonds.
Any ring can be an engagement ring.
The important thing is if your fiancee-to-be will like it. If she is more traditional and would be surprised to not have a traditional engagement ring.
But these days anything goes really. I know people with Sapphire engagement rings and emerald ones… it all depends on the person.
It depends on what you want and your personality. If you like a lot of bling then go witha diamond. Your obviously thinking about it if youre asking the question!
Anything you want can be an engagement ring. Its the signifigance beind the ring not the type of stone that makes it special
Leave it. It’s from you and that’s all that should matter. If she wants a diamond tell her she can have an upgrade after you guys get married.
Nowadays, any ring of value can be considered as an engagement ring.
Many people view the wearing of a wedding ring as a symbol of love and committment. Others view it as a sign that a person is “taken” and off limits. Some people don’t wear wedding rings.
If you and your lady like this better than anything, that is all that counts. Tune out anyone who says what you “should” do.
Princess Diana’s engagement ring was a sapphire. I have a replica of it that I wear on my right hand. I love pink stones.
Always get conflict-free gemstones.
If she loves it, then it is fine. I had a blue sapphire.
I say if you like it go with it. When my husband bought my ring I was so intrigued by the mere fact that he pick it out himself that what it looked like never even came to my mind. It meant so much to be that he went out by himself and thought of me when he bought this ring. It made me feel so happy and diamonds are nice but that’s not at all what matters. Good luck!!
Do what YOU like. If you say it’s your engagement ring, it’s your engagement ring. Diamonds are going out of fashion due to the whole “conflict” issue, and colored stones are much more fashionable.
That would be beautiful..
Allow I would get me a band with matching little pink sapphire’s in it.
I would have thought that was fine. The main thing is, do you think your girlfriend would like it? I know of a girl who was given a pearl ring as an engagement ring, and she loved it, so it just depends on what she would like.
To help you figure out if she would like it (a lot of guys can know their girlfriends in and out, but not know a preference about jewelry), ask someone who WOULD know. My husband was worried I might not like the ring he got me, so he involved my mother and best friend to help him pick out one that would suit me. Another woman she’s close to may know what she would like, or can find a good way to figure it out. My best friend ended up stopping by one of those jewelry stores while we were walking around the mall and noticed the rings I commented on.
I definately think it would be okay to propose with the ring, letting her know if she wants to have the stone replaced with a real diamond, that’s fine.
Good luck!
You can use any ring you want. No one, except some of those you asked, said it HAS to be a diamond. Many people don’t even use engagement rings. Many have engagement rings, but hardly ever or never wear them for different reasons. I only wear mine once in a blue moon. It gets caught on everything, it tears gloves in my line of work, etc. I normally just wear my wedding band. Mine is cubic zirconia.
an engagement ring can be any kind that you and your partner agree on. the only person who’s opinion matters is the person you’re giving the ring to. once you propose, show her the ring, wait for a yes, and later, after a few hours, mention that if she wishes you can have the stone changed for a diamond. you don’t want the proposal to become about the ring, it should be about the upcoming marriage… good luck
Firstly you shouldn’t listen to people who are giving ypu negative feedback about this as this ring is meant to be a symbol of your love to your partner, not theirs. I personally think it is a lovely idea and I’m sure your partner will love it. As for the whole thing about diamonds being the stones you should use is not true, it should be a personal choice and your choice of a pink sapphire is not only different and fairly unique it also sounds lovely, and in my opinion is more personal than just buying a diamond ring from a shop.
Best of luck.
An engagement ring can be anything and I think that the thought you put in it is awesome. I am sure she will love it. Good luck!
OMG my husband so does that! OMG this totally reminds me if Chandler posing for engagement pictures
what you are describing is normal wear and tear. It is very subjective and can be a contentious point between leaser and lessee. If you are losing your deposit because of damage, you have to decide whether it is worth your time and money to try to defend you position. You will need an inspector to write you a report and you may even need a lawyer and court costs. I know it's a pain, but sometimes you just have to write the deposit off and hope for a better landlord in the future.

Stephen, they are “edge cases” in the sense, that they are not the “norm”. They people behind these companies themselves often find it hard to explain/completely understand why these companies took off as much as they did. So I am not sure one can clearly dissect what they did and try and replicate it…. though everyone tries

The recent scandals demonstrate a wide misunderstanding of climate science, and of science more generally So climate change is in the news. But now the media is discussing stolen emails, hacking, the shifting Chinese weather stations, how to extract and draw graphs of temperatures from tree ring studies, and how, how on earth, you get hundreds of authors to agree on almost 3,000 pages of reports. Climate science in the spotlight may not be a bad thing. Though as a climate scientist, the lights seem pretty bright and rather dazzling. I’m relieved they’ve not yet been on me. So what on earth possessed me to write this piece? I get worried when I hear news presenters asking other news presenters whether these controversies should affect political efforts to achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions. Such a question demonstrates a misunderstanding of climate science, and of science more generally. Perhaps people’s perception of science originates from what they were taught at school….
