    Here's mine, bought by OH, I had no idea! He did put some thought into it... he knows I like to be different, so didn't choose a normal solitaire, & took into account that I'm a nurse, so nothing raised, bless him!

    I never take it off, I love it! Now the hard part to find a wedding ring to fit around it!

    Thats really sweet, we're not allowed to wear any rings with stones (even wedding rings!) at all at our hospital so I can only wear it in evenings and weekends. It feels really weird when I go to work on a Monday without it on - I keep feeling "naked" without it.

    Aww, thank you! I'm a mental health nurse, so not as strict on our ward as it would be if I were a general nurse. Although we can only wear a wedding ring & engagement ring, nothing else & no other jewellery. I'd hate to have to take it off, I too would feel so naked!

    Mine only comes off to put stuff in my hair when drying and to put on handcream. Its a 3-diamond Criss-cut, 18ct gold with platinum setting from Beaverbrooks. OH chose it, I had chosen a smaller (cheaper) one but when he went shopping for it he decided this looked nicer :D

    Have found a photo of my ring to upload!

    My OH picked mine all on his own. I was very proud of him, and it means so much more because he choose it.

    Its a 18ct White Gold, beautiful square, princess cut diamond is set in a modern, square white gold bar setting

    Not everyone is as blessed with an OH who has the ability to choose a ring........

    I let my bf buy mine and he ended up getting ripped off in H Samuel (not all rings from there are a rip but this one was) so I made him return it and showed him how it's really done!!
