Our Engagement Ring Story

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

We have been dating for six years and have known we would be getting married eventually. The time has come to buy an engagement ring but first, we had to figure out what I wanted. Come shopping with us as we take on Tiffany, Blue Nile and even Costco in the search for the perfect ring. And what's a perfect ring without the perfect Parisian proposal?

    Honestly, if you have been together that long, you probably should at least get a courthouse one. Because if either of you ends up in the hospital, the hospital is going to use next of kin for the POA. Even if it's an estranged child, they legally use those people first before they will use a boyfriend/girlfriend. So it's in your best interests to be married legally so that you don't have to worry about other family members making medical decisions.

    Aww that was sweet. I love your ring. Thanks for sharing your story. I loved your little private French balcony when you received your ring. It must’ve been so romantic. When we got engaged I told my husband I didn’t want an engagement ring. I just wanted a gold band for a wedding ring. Then a few months later I changed my mind. I told him about a jeweller I loved. He saw the jewellery and felt the same. His rings are exquisite. So we chose one together. My husband paid off the ring. After he picked it up he took me to a lovely restaurant to give it to me. I still love it.

    The ring is perfection. The blue suits your skin tone much better than yellow. And the size is perfect as well. I'm remembering long ago I had thought I wanted an amethyst ring for a birthday. As the sales person looked at one on my hand she said, wait a minute, let's try a garnet instead. And she was so right. The purple amethyst didn't look as good on my skin coloring as the garnet did. Many more years of happiness to you both.
