I think I'd be happy with a non-engagement ring...

Yes, it is engravable, but not much would fit on a size 2 ring.

My friend wears a sz 4 and they told her they could only fit a date or two sets of initials.

you're right. I'm silly for not having though of that... duh ... why must my hands be so friggin' small?

It's a beautiful ring and I love the warmth of your post!

Even if its just a few letters, it can still be meaningful!

And small hands are so cute. I'm jealous. I have chubby hands like a little kid. I hateeee it.

congragulations. the ring is very cute, size does not really matter, commitment is the most important thing

I think that would be perfect for you two. It is the symbolism of the ring and your love, not the size of the diamond that counts the most.

LivinLuxuriously, you and your story seem to be so sweet, genuine, and true. If that is what you love and what you think you will love in 50 years, go for it. It's just a piece of jewelry after all. I do have to say though that I would see if they have white gold options (silver tarnishes too easily and you want to keep on shining!).
I've also been thinking that I don't want a big ring (my SO works in nonprofit). I do want a nice pink sapphire (even Tiffany's has this, though for $13k).

Such a sweet story & a lovely ring. I've had my eyes upon that same ring as well. There is something truly beautiful in such a simple design. It is pure. Please keep us updated .

I loooooooooooooove your ring! LOVE IT! So classy, so elegant, so classic. It's very refined looking and I just love it. I think you are a very mature and wise person, and although I don't know you, I'd give you a hug right now if you were here in front of me, because I think you are just a doll and your fiance is extremely lucky.
God bless you and I wish you both a fantastic life.

It's a lovely ring. Good luck to you and your man!!

 

[shops2much]

Good luck to you! I hope u get it soon. My SO gave me a promise ring earlier this yr and we've been together 9 1/2 yrs.

 

[Sweetpea83]

I love it because it's pretty and simple..so my style too!

 

[catabie]

your story really touched my heart. i can feel that you two love birds are very much in love. congratulations! wish you two a lifelong of happiness.

I think you have the right idea about marriage and the ring. I just got married and no matter how big the diamond my husband bought me @ the end of the day it's about being together.....

 

[LivinLuxuriously]

You guys are all so sweet .

PS - still no ring yet hehehe ... but we have all the time in the world.

It happened. I'm engaged!!!

From my journal:

It's October 1st - I love October. I love fall, I love the changing of the leaves; the harvest. We got up early, and I proposed the idea of yoga, to christen the new month and a new beginning. He suggested grabbing a cup of coffee from Starbucks, straight out of bed (ie: no makeup - no shower - messy hair-in-bun yoga pants and sweatshirt), and go to Mohonk mountain to do yoga on the mountain top. I agreed. We got our coffee and trecked up to Mohonk, parked, and spent about an hour hiking in attempt to find the perfect spot with the perfect view for meditation. Little did I know that Steve had a robin's egg-blue box in his pocket! We found the perfect spot - on the side of the mountain, sort of cliff-side - that overlooked the entire catskill region. It was breath taking. We "om"d and warmed up and did our "sun salute", and after our closing "om"s and meditation, I stood up to roll up my mat and he stayed down, on one knee, grabbed my hand, and whipped out the Tiffany box.

Elegant and understated, yet still Tiffany - it says it all.

Afterwards, he carved "Babe" and the date into a wooden gazebo overlooking the mountain range.

...I said yes.
