We asked for ’em, you gave ’em to us…pics and ring specs galore! There are some truly drool-worthy round diamond engagement rings in this post, so whether you’re just browsing to see what’s out there or you’re trying to decide what type of ring to purchase, here’s a great place to start. Pin it, bookmark it, email the link to your BFF to covertly send to your SO. And then sit back and enjoy.

For those playing catch-up, we launched a set of ring surveys, starting with 15 different styles of engagement rings (you can find them here and at the bottom of this post, as well as on the Boards as a stickied post). All you do is fill out the survey corresponding to your ring style (round diamond, moissanite, sapphire, etc.), which will prompt you to upload your ring photo to the Weddingbee Gallery, and then once at least 10 people with that style of ring have filled out the survey, it will become a post on the Weddingbee blog!

The posts will continuously be updated to reflect new ring submissions, and we hope they will be an amazing repository of REAL engagement rings to inspire bees for years to come. Make sure to check out the top of the post for the newest engagement rings.

Note: If you’ve filled out the survey but haven’t yet submitted a photo, it’s not too late to be included in this post! Simply email your photo along with your Weddingbee username and ring style category to [email protected], and we’ll add it to the post!

Dollie87‘s Edwardian replica diamond ring with white gold

Why did you or your FI choose this ring? I knew that I wanted a vintage or vintage-inspired ring. DH and my sister went shopping together and chose this ring. They went with this dealer because they had a really good shopping experience, compared with really negative experiences with other jewelers who sell vintage jewelry or design custom rings.
