i was home in texas last week and my mom had given me baby clothes she saved for my children. i told her it would probably jinx me if i took them with me so she agreed to hold on to them. and now i'm posting a bunch of pictures of rings. oh well.
here's the thing. if i have an opinion on something it's typically a pretty strong opinion. so i thought i'd share :)
i personally don't really like traditional wedding/engagement rings. i'm not really a diamond girl. but i am a jewelry girl, kind of hardcore in fact. so here are some rings that i think could possibly work as a wedding/engagement ring but don't fall into the typical category.
looking at the pics i've collected i don't really shy away from yellow gold. however i think most of the above rings could be just as appealing in a white gold setting. i don't really want a ring that sits high. with a faceted ring i appreciate a hammered band but with a polished stone i like a smooth band. so nothing to fancy, i'm a casual girl. the last one is of a diamond but it's small and very unassuming.
anyway. now that i've posted this i'm probably hosed on ever actually getting one but whatevs. my friend alex used to get the tiffany's catalogs just so we could pick out which engagement ring we'd choose. us girls can be so silly sometimes :)
I am partial to 1 and 4... I also like the idea of 3 but for some reason I'm not in love with that jewel. but I'm on the same page katesa... don't let a boy get me a diamond k?
ReplyDeletefun post. You know I really didn't have any opinion or thoughts on the matter prior to getting married--but in retrospect, I'm 100% with you. I never wear my ring because although it's not super fancy/expensive, I worry about losing it and thus never wear it.
ReplyDeleteI wish I would've (sensitively/tastefully) returned the ring to the store so that he wouldn't've had to spend money on it. Instead I'd alternate between the rings Grandma has given me. Which are all very cool. Plus it's fun to be unique.
Anyway, I'll direct your man to this page.
