Ok, so tell me … Did anyone get engaged today? It is Valentines after all and I believe that this date, and New Years are the two most popular days for popping the big question.
No, I didn’t get engaged. Uh huh. Nope, back when I got engaged – 13 years ago, it was New Years Eve. I didn’t even get an Engagement Diamond Ring that evening since we were both jewelers at the time. Yes, believe it or not I had a rare disorder known as “Jewelry burnout”. I bet that you don’t even know anyone else who has that disorder do you?
I still don’t have an engagement ring. Maybe it’s time to get one, although I have no idea what would go with my custom made concave diamond and emerald wedding band.
Hmmm let’s see. If I was going to get a Diamond ring I think that I might like one like this Diamond and sapphire engagement ring, but I’d see if I could substitute the sapphires for emeralds so that it would go with my wedding band.
Which engagement ring would you chose if you were looking?
We didn’t get engaged on Valentines, but I did get a second engagement ring for Heather for our first Valentine’s together. We got engaged in August, went ring shopping together, and found a ring that we both loved. It was a West Coast Native wolf totem with a pink tourmeline. And we worried that it wouldn’t stand the test of time.
So we opted for a very conventional small diamond in quite a plain white gold ring.
But six months later, that wolf and tourmeline were still calling. So Heather got a second engagement ring! And it has stood the test of time after all.
