J and I picked out my engagement ring together. While I think this may be taboo to some couples, I had an idea of the type of setting I liked and wanted to be involved in the process. J knows me well and always does a great job of picking out gifts for me, but he was open to choosing a ring together. Last July we went ring shopping together and I fell in love with what later became my engagement ring.
We found this beauty at Ben Bridge. It's a Scott Kay setting and we choose the diamond separately. It was actually really fun looking through the microscope and seeing each individual diamond and evaluating its cut and clarity. I loved how thin and delicate the band was and immediately knew that this was the one. I found out later that J purchased the ring the next day although I had to wait until nearly Thanksgiving for the proposal! Way to make a girl wait!
Soon after we got engaged I began looking at wedding bands which was a lot more work than I had anticipated. I knew I wanted a thin band with diamonds, but finding one that matched my setting was kind of a nightmare. Eventually I found a diamond eternity band that was thin enough to match but still had enough sparkle without taking away from my solitaire.
Love them.
