Engaged at the Eiffel Tower 💕
My fiancé proposed last month (5/23/26) in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and it felt like a dream. My fiancé and I (both 22) have been together since 2020, right before the pandemic started. When we get married we’ll be high school sweethearts. I graduated not too long ago with a couple of degrees and the proposal happened while we were on a study abroad trip. We started in London, headed down to Portsmouth, took a ferry to Caen and Normandy, traveled to Paris and ended up in Amsterdam. He knows how long I’ve dreamed of visiting Paris and seeing the Eiffel Tower, and it was such a beautiful moment.❤️
He designed the ring himself and chose purple and green stones since they are my favorite colors. He originally wanted a kite cut but ended up choosing a marquise which is my favorite cut! I never was a traditional diamond girl and all my friends and family say the ring is perfect for me. He showed me the wedding band that goes with it after the proposal (his mistake lol) and I fell in love with it so now I wear it on top of the engagement ring and another band will go on the bottom when we’re official, framing the engagement ring in the middle. Only concern is amethyst isn’t the strongest stone so we know we might have to replace the stone years down the line and we’re okay with that. He thought about a purple sapphire for this reason but they were all a lighter purple and he wanted the deep amethyst color. I wasn’t sure about sharing the ring and moment with strangers but my fiancé is very proud of himself and “wants to know what the folks of Reddit think”.😆
Ring specs: Size 5 12K white gold rhodium plated band with a half carat AAA amethyst with six emerald accent stones. Band is also 12K white gold with moissanite accent stones.
