antique-look diamond ring too engagement-y?
Q.I was at the jeweler this weekend getting a sizer put into my wedding ring (I'd lost a fair amount of weight, and it was falling off). I saw an antique-reproduction ring in the window that I fell in love with. It's platinum, squarish-shaped with a diamond that lays flat in the middle, and embellished on each side with designwork and a diamond chip. I've always wanted a ring like that...I'd thought I would inherit one, but that's a long story. Anyway, in spite of the extravagence, I put it on, it was beautiful, and I bought it. Now I'm wondering something. Since it's a repro ring, not a traditional style, was it intended as an engagement ring and did I just not recognize that? (I've found a similar ring, though not as nice, on the net being advertised as a "fashion ring" but also as a "reproduction Victorian engagement ring.") And if *was* intended as an engagement ring, is it odd of me to wear it on the other hand, a gift from myself?
A.The ring in the picture is gorgeous. Definitely wear it on your right hand and enjoy your beautiful ring. This is a new thing in fashion magazine ads. Buy your own diamond for your ring finger, right hand. You've got style, girl.~ I think it may be a repro engagement ring, but it doesn't look engagement-y to me; these days, though anything goes, it seems that any sizeable solitaire or stone-centered, no matter the type, is what says "engagment". Several people thought a pale purple spinel solitaire ring I wore on my right hand was an engagement ring. If you wear yours on your right hand, I doubt anyone would think it was an engagement ring, and even if someone did, no biggie--it's a beautiful ring! Contragulations on the weight loss and the purchase :) One thing I didn't know, and maybe I'm alone in not knowing, is that to some people any nice ring worn on the ring finger of the left hand signals "taken." I am perplexed by this. I wear a gold band with a large but not huge garnet (my birthstone) ring on the ring ringer of my left hand. it looks better there than on my right hand. Several people, mostly men, have told me that upon seeing this ring they have assumed that I was engaged or at least had a serious boyfriend.
