First one was when he popped the question (and we were broke). He paid $225 for that white gold ring with little princesses, and it was a stretch on the credit card. I wore this ring for about 15 years because I love it so much. Then, we found the platinum setting at our local jeweler's Estate sale last year. It's an Old Mine cut diamond just over 1/2 carat center round from the Gold Rush era, and it's set in a 1930's or 40's setting (not sure exactly when). Band is also platinum with diamonds all around eternity.

It's so cool to see everyone's rings, and how everyone is telling their stories. I was brought up to think that having/wanting nice things is "bad" (been tossing that "baggage" out the window...) so really enjoying how everyone is sharing their interests in their styles, etc. and learning to enjoy my jewelry! It's VERY fun ;)

It's so funny; I was literally just reflecting on this when I saw your post. I was raised super religious and had a set of neighbors growing up who put down anyone who dressed even remotely nice ect as being shallow, clothes horse ect.; as if wearing old t shirts with holes was "better" and wholesome. It took me a while to realize that having or not having or looking a certain way didn't correlate to character or morals in anyway.
At any rate, they showed up to my wedding in sweatpants and shower sandals, which could be offensive but, at the end of the day, wasn't worth getting upset about.
Jewelry tells a story of our lives and the important events that go on. So there's that.
