While gorgeous diamonds come in all shapes and sizes, brides-to-be can't help but play favorites. Yes, even our social media followers. We combed through every single ring selfie we posted on Instagram this year and compiled a list of the sparklers you loved (and double-tapped) the most. From stunning circle-cuts and pretty pears to vintage-inspired settings, these sparklers signify the best engagement rings 2017 had to offer.

Of course, the ring selfies you liked the most didn't always feature just the rock. Images that featured ultra-romantic or adventurous proposals—on mountain tops, cliff sides, and snowy slopes—were among the snapshots you liked best. But the one thing we noticed you loved the very most? Seeing those handsome fiancés in the background, beaming with pride, joy, and emotion. While the diamond is a major part of an engagement, the love that goes into it seems to move you more.

While each and every ring in this round-up is unique, they're actually all united by one important thing—you. These beauties ended up on our feeds because you tagged us! We're always thrilled to witness one of the happiest moments of your lives, and we hope that you'll keep the #martharings hashtag and the pretty photos coming. Before we move on to yet another engagement season, let's pause and commemorate 2017's best and brightest. And don't forget—you don't have to be newly engaged to show off the ring. Use these curated 'grams as pose-inspiration, then can snap your own ring selfies before the big day and beyond. Ready to see them all for yourself? Click through for the prettiest hand candy of the year.

#20 Best Fish in the Sea

Credit: @weedyyy via Instagram

This freshly-minted fiancée received her pear-cut beauty after a day at sea. "Andy talked me into a 5am fishing expedition out to Great Point on the tip of Nantucket. After fishing and watching the seals, we pulled up on shore to the lighthouse where Andy surprised me with a proposal! I caught the best fish of all!" she explained.
