Diamonds are fine. Beautiful and sparkly. But everywhere! I've long been a proponent of choosing an engagement ring that has some personal meaning behind it. Perhaps one that chooses one or two pieces of your shared history together. Yes, a diamond is traditional. But what does it say about the two of you and the new life you plan to create together?
We recently worked with a couple to create an engagement/wedding ring that included two elements of their shared history. It incorporated two metals - sterling silver and 18-karat gold - as well as two stones - a white and a blue sapphire. For this couple, the two metals and two stones represented each one's individuality, while having them soldered together represented the bond they shared. The stones were set right next to each other, representing the two of them walking side by side for the rest of their lives.
And just yesterday I read about the ring Prince William gave to his love, Kate. It had sentimental value as well, and not a diamond! Instead, a blue sapphire ring that had belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. He said "It was my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out on today."
So break out of the box! Choose a ring, or even create a ring together, that celebrates the reasons that brought the two of you together! The sentimental value will far exceed anything a diamond could capture. And there's still no reason not to include a diamond as well!
Naturally, we hope you'll stop by to check out the great collection of rings we have, and our several talented designers who can help you achieve your own dream.
