What wedding jewelry did you pick? Would you pick it today?
now I have a major-ish wedding anniversary approaching, and I'm
wondering what "my" style of wedding/engagement rings really is. I'm
looking for ideas. If you got your ring a long time ago, do you still
like it? Did you feel pressure to get a diamond? Is yellow gold absolutely
and completely dowdy and passe? (In the latest L'Officiel magazine, I
noticed that there was not a single jewelry advertisment that featured
yellow gold; everything was white gold or platinum.)
I used to think that my ideal engagement ring would be a good-sized
emerald cut diamond solitaire set in platinum, (like the one Kay
Francis wears in _Jewel Thief_) but when I tried some on, they
left me cold. Should I get that pave wedding ring and just skip the
solitaire? It does feel more "me
Yellow gold will never be passé - it's the 'black' of jewelry metals.
honestly? I think you've answered your own question :-) Also there is no
rule that says you have to go for an engagement style of ring, given your
anniversary, perhaps you could go for an eternity ring instead. I find that
the scope for the designs on those is far greater than on engagement rings.
My husband and I have been married nearly 5 years and last Christmas he
surprised me with a belated engagement ring which is gorgeous and totally
suits my taste.
Picking out *Good Jewelry*, IMHO, is an extremely personal decision. Buy
what your hand feels comfortable in, what works with your lifestyle, and
what your eye likes. I was involved in the jewelry trade for a long time
and believe me...when you see IT...the long awaited "right" piece...IT will
grab your attention immediately!
Don't judge by advertisements you may see. Judge for yourself.
