Today I went and picked up my husband's new wedding ring. I will give it to him on his birthday, on Friday. He has no idea. This is the new one, with the original 26.5 year old ring.

This is the ring he had made for me for our 25th anniversary, which I wear with my original wedding ring.

I am so jealous of everyone's rings! I chose mine when I was 17 and hated jewelry so its a three stone .5 caret ring... i like the design, but i would also like to have a big rock on my finger!

Okay, here are pics of my e-ring and my wedding band, both of which I just got sized. It took me forever to find a band I liked, but I finally decided on this ring guard cause it just makes my ring sparkle even more! I was so happy to have my e-ring back I took a ton pictures of them, here are just a few. (sorry no matter how many times I resize in photobucket, they look the same size when i post)

My e-ring: a diamond solitair with a twist(two small side stones) set in platinum

Helen, that was so sweet of your DH. And the ring is gorgeous!

Apparantely there were several revisions made, but he got it abosultely perfectly! And I love the stone - I told him I was partial to square or slightly rectangular shapes and he decided to search for a radiant cut because he liked that it was a mixed cut stone (part brillant cut like a round, part step cut like an emerald or an asscher)...so it has the less organized, more random and choatic pattern of sparkle underneath, which is like me, and the classic, clean, organized and logical lines on the crown like him - and together they come fit to make the stone more beautiful! My ring is a metaphor for our relationship! (Too sappy? I think maybe we should limit who we tell that too for fear of getting the rolled eyes...but it makes me tear when I think of how he explained it to me).

OK, this is my first attempt to upload pictures so bear with me....I hope I get it right!

I love your ering, its beautiful, if you got a simple (thin) band for your wedding band it might still allow the surprise diamonds on the sides to show through.

Thank you both so much! I think I'm going to have to try on a few different types of bands before I make up my mind....just means that I have to spend some time playing in jewellery stores! I think that might be the most fun form of window shopping yet!

You should see my original engagement ring with a really small stone. I should take a picture of the two rings side by side :)

It took 25 years to get an upgraded ring, but I'm glad we waited until we could afford it.
