you want to give me wedding rings

January 27, 2010

No posts on the other blogs. I’m calling in sick. It’s been a yucky tummy day.

But I discovered today that it’s time for me to move on.

I need a new ring. Just in time for Valentine’s Day!

I started with these beauties that are now tucked away in a pretty little bag, waiting to be resized.

Then I moved on to Nathan’s engagement ring. Yes, it’s elvish. And smaller than my wedding rings.

Today I noticed that it is officially too big (as I fished it out of my office trash can). I’m wearing it on my middle finger now. So I’m shopping for a new temporary wedding ring.

I have several options. I’m sharing with you.

The first is the one I want but I feel bad for wanting. Because, as you know, I am a brand whore. But isn’t she beautiful?

Oh, my friends, there’s more.

My love for etsy is almost as strong as my love for Tiffany.

This one is completely different. Earthy. Engraved on the inside. It would house the title of this post which is a line from a Peter Gabriel song we love.

And then there’s the incredibly simple. Classic, comfortable, titanium.

But wait! Next there’s the variation on a prior theme. This is in Hebrew. “I am my beloved’s and he is mine.”

I also think these coin rings are beautiful. But I haven’t found any that are either for our home state or from the year we were married. I think that would be cool. And I’m sure the artist could make one of my two desires happen if I decided to go with this one.

this little pretty just calls out to me.

And then there’s the part of me that would love to carry our actual wedding date on the band. This one looks so…homemade. I love it.

So all this shopping later and I’m no closer to picking out my present. Maybe I’ll just let Nathan decide. I’m sure he’d be open to your suggestions. And he reads the comments.

6.5, baby. Just so you know.

    DUDE! I have one of those coin rings (it’s a quarter from the year I was born) and I love it but it isn’t holding up well. I’m just sayin’.

    All of the others are awesome though. The titanium one speaks to me but I’m all about the clean modern lines. I trust Nathan to know which one is right for you.

        I was on Twitter when you posted the link. Also I stalk you.*

        *HA! Not really.**

        **Maybe.

    I love the first one and the last one the best, but they are all great choices. Let us know which one you end up with ;-)

    For what it’s worth, I dig the one from Etsy. But that’s also because I love that Peter Gabriel song too :-)

    I should look into this too, I havne’t worn my wedding rings in at least 6 months – they kept fallling off and I was afraid of losing them but I don’t want to re-size until I’m at my goal weight.

    They’re all gorgeous choices, the Tiffany one is cute and the coin one is really unique.

    ok, I love the Tiffany one, but i also love the first earthy etsy one, and wait..I love all of them!

    I LOVE that song. I also love this cover of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlpJauF5EP4. It’s no Peter but two of my other fave female artists. And they’ve got some killer harmony going on. But I digress. RINGS! I like the first etsy one (the chunky one you would get the lyrics engraved in) and also the one below it… simple, classic titanium. But really any of them are beautiful! So fun and good luck to Nathan having to decide :)

    I’m with Katherine. Two ring fingers up for Peter Gabriel and supporting Etsy artists. Really, what would be more perfect for the woman who quotes songs in her blog posts. Also, yay for small fingers!

    I like the etsy one and the next-to-last one.

    What does the elvish say?
