Seeing our engagement ring for the first time - in fact, doing the WHOLE proposal shabang in general - is one of the biggest moments of our lives. And, chances are, we already have some pretty clear ideas on what we do and don't want it to be like.
You might be a spontaneous, at home, in your pyjamas kind of gal. Or you might be a marching band, crowd of cooing onlookers, video on YouTube type girlfriend. But what about the ring itself? Big and bling or understated and simple?
Well, after seeing the below ring, your dream scenario may just hit new, extravagant heights of sparkling, shiny beauty.
This ring was posted by fine jewellery blog Gem Hunt and it is absolutely massive – a whopping 80-Carats, to get technical.
The emerald-cut ring is almost bigger than the model's hand and we can imagine it must be pretty heavy. Get a load'a this…
We're not sure how much this exact ring would set your potential fancy man back but similar styles are being sold on the internet for millions. Yes, six figures.
Now, this big, bold, blingish style might not be for everyone and we definitely think that going for less-is-more is just as beautiful and elegant. However, there's no denying that this would turn a few heads. Do you fancy yourself sparkling in it?
