As I mentioned in a previous post, he used his grandmother's ring when he proposed. But, my fingers are chubby, the ring was too small... so we decided to get a different one for me. After getting requests to post a picture of his grandmother's ring, here it is... diamonds and rubies:
A few days later we went ring shopping together and I picked out my ring. I'm not a traditional bride-to-be... the size of the diamond is not important to me, and, in all honesty, typical engagement rings don't really do anything for me. I wanted something with a little style, and some character, so, I opted for a sapphire and diamond band:
Jacob and I were both born in September (1 year less 3 days apart), so both of our birthstones in the sapphire. Plus, I LOVE blue... so.. this is perfect! I can't wait until I'm back in Oregon and get to FINALLY put it on my finger!! (3 days!!!)
Hooray!!! I love the ring by the way. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty ring!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Jacob's Grandma Lola would have loved it. The rubies in her ring (the ring that Jacob proposed to you with) were added many years after her marriage to Jake's Grandpa Sam, and they were for her birthday as well. Enjoy! Pam and Carl
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ring!

ReplyDeleteI love your ring! I was born in September, too, and sapphires are my favorite!
