rings and things

Lately Rob and I have been having conversations about rings... engagement rings. He wanted to get some ideas of the type of ring I'd like. (Eeeeeeee!!!! *hyperventilates*) So OF COURSE, I hop over to the Tiffany website to take a look. (Now, I don't want a ring from Tiffany & Co -- I'd rather have a really nice ring than have Rob pay for the brand name, you know? But hey, a girl can dream. That darn robin's blue box has such an effect on me).

I LOVE this ring...

GUH. So beautiful. I always thought I'd want a round cut diamond but this square cut seriously makes me weak in the knees. I love the smoothness of the band and especially the way the ring looks from the side. Such a pretty detail. I can't stop looking at it. It's mesmerizing. So elegant, simple and modern.

But this is the ring I always imagined in my head when I thought about getting engaged...

Round cut diamond in the center with smaller round channel set diamonds on the side... *swoons* This one's a classic. But I don't know which style I like more! Decisions, decisions.

I'm going to check out BlueNile and Tacori -- does anyone else have any site recs? Or maybe pictures of rings I can drool over?

PS - Carmen/Robyn, take note. Hee. :D

Decisions, decisions?! Girl!! If Rob gave you either one of those rings, I think you'd be happy.

EEEEK!! How exciting! Why does this stuff make me so girly??

Note taken.

So exciting!!! Ring #2 is really really pretty, but I LOVE ring #1. It's so elegant. Something you might want to consider is how each ring is going to look with a wedding band...and what kind of band you want! So many options!!

I myself don't have any recs, but I'll ask around...I'm sure my engaged/married friends have a lot of resources..

Very anxious and eagerly waiting to see which one you get!!

Those are so so gorgeous Kel! How exciting for you! I'm happy that you two are getting to that stage in your life.

OMG!!!! This is so exciting!!!!! yhe last ring is so beautiful. I'm really happy for you

Awwwww, Kel!! I'm so happy for you! I love weddings and everything prior to it like the engagement stuff... I really love the first ring, it's so elegant, I would definitely pick that one. I used to love the second one, but it's rather girly, I think. Just choose the one you're comforable with now, but I'd happy to get either of them. ;-) I'm really happy for you!

Hi Kelly! Haven't checked your website for awhile and it was nice to catch up on what's going on with you! The rings, ack!! How exciting!! Maybe we can chat diamonds because Grantland & I got engaged 3 weeks ago :)

This is a good website and you can design your own rings for fun!

The first ring is PRETTY! I love the simplicity and the cut. And congrats!

Wish I could rec you more sites for rings, but I think you hit the best ones out there.

Good luck!

They're both gorgeous rings. I think girls tend to dream about having a square/princess cut ring, but I understand it definitely means more if the guy picked it out based on how well he knows you -- now that's straight from the heart. ;)
