All that Glitters...

Ok, are these not absurdly, eye poppingly, jaw droppingly gorgeous?!  Insanity!!

I had no idea that BlueNile hosted such a wealth of engagement ring porn!  One might wonder, what I was doing on BlueNile?  I swear it happened accidentally!  I am on their email list after ordering a pair of pearl earrings, and with my 10% off email, clicked through to the site today.  The sparkly baubles on the homepage had me at hello, and forty-five minutes later, here I am.


Halo Settings:
Floating Halo Diamond Engagement Ring in 14k White Gold (1/4 ct. tw.) Heirloom Halo Micropavé Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum (5/8 ct. tw.) Heirloom Halo Micropavé Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum (5/8 ct. tw.) Asscher Cut Halo Diamond Engagement Ring in 18K White Gold

Just look at these bad boys - I thought the halo settings above were really spectacular.  I LOVE the floating setting at the top, and don't even get me started on the Tiffany's Legacy replica.  Rings #2 and #3 are SO close to the Tiffany setting, at a fraction of the price).  The last ring above is so pretty but, it's not one I would have asked for unless I saw it - is that stone an asscher cut?  The channels really make it look deep and beautiful, but I wonder if it would be harder to get a quality cut like that...


Solitaire Settings:
Nouveau Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum (1/3 ct. tw.)  Petite Pavé Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum (1/4 ct. tw.)
Heirloom Micropavé Diamond Engagement Ring in Platinum (1/3 ct. tw.)  Petite Nouveau Solitaire Engagement Ring in Platinum

Oh the classics - like a Chanel suit, these will always be in style.  The round solitaires on a pave band (#1 & #2) are still my fave, but I also love the heirloom band on the square cut asscher stone (#3 above) - it's so unique and delicate.  While it's not my style, that canary yellow diamond is a stunner - so rare, and so pretty, I couldn't leave him out!

For more ring porn, check out the "Recently Purchased Engagement Rings" section.  (I am not getting paid to say this - it's just that amazing)  In my humble opinion, the fact that they show recently purchased rings - not stock photos - is a HUGE selling point!

Ok... I'm done now, but I think I seriously have an illness.  This diamond obsession is borderline clinical, but I just can't stop!  Look how pretty they are.  Look how sparkly they are.... I just HAD to share some of this glittery eye candy for all the other diamond junkies out there.
