My rings
Sat, 15 May 2010 13 Comments Weeks ago I went to a jewelry store to have my engagement ring sized (it was at least 2 sizes too big) and have a wedding band made to fit around it's odd shape. I finally got a call Thursday night that they were ready and Jeff and I went to pick them up last night (and he picked out a band for himself which will be ready in a month). I was a little shocked at first when I put both rings on. It was not what I had pictured in my mind all these weeks. Then I realized the ring wasn't quite designed how I had asked. But here's why I don't think I mind so much - the goldsmith used larger diamonds than I had asked for. He was supposed to use the very small diamonds that are on the sides of the engagement ring. So it was quite a bit sparklier and BLING BLING than it was supposed to be. I was told to take them home, wear them, and bring them back if I'm not happy. What kind of girl brings back a ring and asks for smaller diamonds??? FORGET ABOUT IT. I am growing very attached to it just the way it is. :) (Here is a photo of the engagement ring on it's own).

I love the way it looks. I wouldn't change a thing! One less thing to worry about...
stunning. truly stunning. happy you're enjoying the "mistake" :)
very nice. i love them. NOW TAKE THE BAND OFF.
I love it! But I'm getting teary already and there are still a couple of months to go. Pass the tissues!!!
so did you make the ring or is it antique? i thought it was antique... i'm confused :)
(btw it's so beautiful)
:-)
Drey, the engagement ring is an antique, and it's likely not actually an engagement ring. It did not come with a wedding band so I had to have one made to match it.
A beautiful misunderstanding indeed. :-)
absolutely gorgeous and unique :)
Oh, so pretty! Congratulations Kim. I haven't checked in for quite a while...I have loads of catching-up/ogling to do.
And I like how there's two photos of your ring but ten of the new kitty litter set-up. Hilarious...and charming.
Again, congratulations & best wishes, A
Thanks AMR! (I couldn't resist posting all those cat pics in the litter post because the longer I sat there with my camera the more kitties showed up to see what the hell was going on.)
the ring is seamless. and beautiful.
and for the record, it won't be the last thing in your marriage that doesn't turn out the way you thought it would, but that you wouldn't change for anything. roll with the blings. :)
:-) Thanks Priscilla
