My New Sparkly April 24, 2008
Dan and I got engaged when we were beyond broke college students. Thinking back it’s almost comical to realize all the things we did in order to save money. Dan didn’t even have a part time job at the time, so he cashed in his meal plan in order to buy my ring.
That ring will always be special to me. I was wearing it when I got married. I was wearing it during every single IVF retrieval and transfer. I was wearing it when I gave birth to Adam.
Dan has always promised me a new ring for our 10th anniversary. And believe it or not, that’s coming up next month. I spent a lot of time researching diamonds, settings, and vendors before I made my decision. It was a really fun process. Who knew there was so much to learn beyond the 4 C’s?
I’ve been waiting with excited anticipation the past few weeks as my ring was being made. I found out yesterday afternoon that it was complete and got the images this morning. Woo hoo! I am over the moon!
I can’t wait to get it now. Of course I’ll have to find some more patience somewhere as I wait for our actual anniversary on the 16th to wear it. It’s gonna be hard, though, because I can’t wait to put it on my finger!

It is gorgeous!!!! :)
Did you research it on pricescope? I’ve doing a little hanging out there myself. ;)
Thank you. Yep, I spent a lot of time on pricescope. Great site! (and just a bit addictive). I wouldn’t have that ring without it.
That is beautiful! What a wonderful 10th anniversary present. What torture to have to wait until the 16th to wear it (but a good kind of torture, I guess.)
oooh gorgeous!
Congratulations on the strength of your 10 year relationship. Very impressive.
How beautiful! It is actually amazing to me how it reminds me of my ring. My husband had t designed, andit is also a three stone round cut, white gold (well, mine is white gold) with very detailed band work. I love love love it! I am sure you will love looking at your ring every day for the rest of your life!
How gorgeous! And many congratulations on your tenth anniversary–any special plans? (Aside from gazing lovingly at the ring, I mean.)
what a beautiful anniversary present! congratulations.
It is BEAUTIFUL!! And heaven knows you deserve it!!
I think of you and Adam often! *hugs*
Bling bling! Congratulations on 10 years. Our anniversary is Sunday, 6 years. Time flies…
Ohhhh, preeetttttyyyyyy!
My engagement/wedding rings were made by Whiteflash- they do excellent work. Once the ring arrives you will be blown away by how much prettier it is in person, and how sparkly it will be!
The ring is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen!! I would dearly love something like that! Lucky you.

Gorgeous - woo hoo! Happy anniversary!
What a really stunning ring. I, too, have been waiting for my nice wedding ring for over 10 years now. We didn’t really care about the ring back then - just wanted to be married. Well, we were going to get us a new nice set when we hit our 10th anniversary (in Feb) but things came up so now I have to wait a little longer…but if I could get something like yours , the wait will be worth it! Enjoy your beautiful ring!
