I asked my husband for a ruby, because it is my favorite stone, but I left the rest to him. He gave me a ruby in a heart shape, and that was romantic. It is small and wasn't terribly expensive, I didn't care because (well I'm not shallow!) he wanted to tell me he loved me, by giving me what I asked and then some. <br /><br />A circle? No matter how cool the illusion, a circle?

A ring like this would definitely be a conversation starter and give the perfect opportunity to tell your friends and colleagues how you and your partner met, as well as explaining the subtlety (? spelling) in the art of the ring. A very interesting concept.Bobbie Penehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824845104620461464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-4988345173463376672011-02-04T13:10:37.478-05:002011-02-04T13:10:37.478-05:00Romance is all in the head.

I was married with a ring my hubby made, and got an "engagement" ring in his wonderful grandma's will, many years later. And here we are 35 years and going strong. The shadow ring is interesting and unusual.Marsha Wiest-Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481754729084714643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-11302494441610320732011-02-04T11:08:20.476-05:002011-02-04T11:08:20.476-05:00That is cool!

He flat out refused to spend thousands on diamonds, and said his savings would be used (at age 23) to go into our joint retirement. That isn't real romantic, but it IS love, and here we are 32 years later. Ladies, it is not the romance that counts, but the INTENT.Catehttp://www.catefneely.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-29835244553195726092011-02-04T08:34:49.264-05:002011-02-04T08:34:49.264-05:00I really like the simplicity of the ring and agree...I really like the simplicity of the ring and agree with you about it being a sweet Valentine's gift or for a birthday or one of the lesser anniversaries. An engagement ring however requires something a tad more impressive.<br /><br />Hm, I do see a couple of the "you might also like" features that I think I surely may "also like"; I wonder how many comments I'll have subtracted for going back to see them. Perhaps there's a toll for traveling back in time. lol :DAlmost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.com
