my engagement ring:
Initially, I was reticent to go through the engagement ring “drama” - it’s not something I grew up seeing and I just didn’t care for the expense.
Robert implored me to reconsider, very much looking forward to finding a way to celebrate our commitment to marry. He proposed I design it myself, which of course piqued my interest.
I’d taken silversmithing / wax casting classes from Mandy & Sara over at RedStart Design while at college, and so it was a perfect fit to work with them to bring my ideas to life. They helped source gorgeous australian sapphires. Just as Roberts eyes shift between blue and green, so do the hues in the ring.
Our Wedding Bands:
Our bands were just as fun a journey as the engagement ring (and went a lot faster, too). Robert zeroed into the hammered look early on.
Ilana Natasha, our wedding photographer, had a ton of fun finding the best spots at our wedding venue to photograph our rings. We handed our box of eternal bands around to all guests during the ceremony, so that everyone could share their best wishes and blessings as they wished.
