Mrs. Yellow Ribbon is doing a "Show Me Your..." link-up and this week...it's RINGS! I love looking at everyone's rings :) Here are mine:
the center diamond is a princess cut but rotated on its side. they call that style a baseball diamond.
I'm wedding band-less because I have teeny-tiny size 4 fingers, and the original band that E bought was a size 8. Jared told us they can't size the ring down that far, so I had to order the band in a smaller size. They told me it was supposed to come in the beginning of February. I'm still waiting -_- But, here is my band (click to enlarge):
The two rings will have to be cut and flipped around then re-sautered together so that the curve goes inward and matches better with my ring...my ring has such a weird curve to it that it's hard to find a band that looks good with it without having to do a custom, which for one band would have been $1700 (which is outrageous) and for two, over $3000 (even more outrageous).
Did you look at rings together?
Actually, no. I did send E pictures of styles that I liked. We shopped for wedding bands together, though.
Do you like your ring? Did you from the beginning? ...Be honest!
I loved my ring from the beginning and still do! It was a different style than the ones that I showed him, and his choice blew me away. I also love what he did with the center diamond because I have never seen a ring like that before. He told me he saw it and didn't like it, then told them to rotate the diamond on the side. I absolutely love it! And I get a lot of compliments on it, too :)
How often do you wear your rings?
I don't wear them to work (I am thinking about buying a either a plain band one or one with a few diamonds) because I'm so scared that something will happen to it! I also don't wear it when I shower. Otherwise, it stays on!
Do you clean your rings?
I have jewelry cleaner, but I usually just have Jared's clean it when I'm in the area. I also get it checked every 6 months and I also check it myself by holding it up to my ear and lightly "tapping" the band. A friend taught me that if you hear a little jingle or clanking sound, that means something is loose. One day I did it, heard something and sure enough it was loose!
What went through your mind the very first time you saw your ring?
It's so pretty and sparkly!!! And also too big lol (the size, I mean! I actually got it resized twice since I got it lol)
