I got the call yesterday that my ring was ready, so Mike and I went to pick it up when he was out of work. It’s a tiny little band, but it came with some extensive (and superfluous) packaging. First the bag:

Then a box:

Then a box inside the box:

Then finally the ring:

I love it! I love how small and dainty and simple it is. It’s exactly what I wanted. Because of the setting of my engagement ring, it’s doesn’t exactly work naturally with a band. Looks a little awkward in fact.

Not terrible, but I like them individually better than together. Which is fine because my plan all along was to have the engagement ring as a special, beautiful ring, and the wedding band for everyday wear. Like this:

I love love love it. It’s such a simple thing, but it’s the perfect look for me. And I was actually thinking, because I love my engagement ring so much too, I could wear it on my ring hand if I feel like it. I don’t know, so many options! I’m just happy that I love both of my rings.


What’s the significance behind having the band on the left hand? I heard once, but I can’t remember. I figure with all your research, you may have came across it.

I love it!
And what is with jewelers and their love of boxes? I have several box within boxes. So weird.
My wedding band and engagement ring were a matching set. I really thought I’d wear my band separately on occasion but never did. Eventually I had them soddered together (because I was apparently damaging the crap out of them by not having them connected).
Awesome! Very beautiful!
That’s awesome! I love the singularity of it, plus it’s always a good idea to have options!
I love it!! And by golly does your engagement ring ever shine!!
Beautiful!
Beautiful!
I love the boxes within boxes… My excitement for what is inside grows with each one.
Love, love love! Would you ever wear one on your other hand, or no? They’re both so beautiful I can’t imagine not wanting to wear both!
Yeah definitely. I think I’ll wear my engagement ring on my right hand a lot.
Simple and pretty. I love.
I love it, but then mine is exactly the same.
Though, after three and half years, not quite as shiny. But same color, same width, etc. It was exactly what I wanted too. I’m not frilly; I like simple. And I think it was like $40.
really beautiful
LOVE IT!
I think it’s perfect. Mine does have a few diamonds in it but I have lots of occasions where I only where the band and leave the engagement ring at home.
[...] Mike’s ring came in this weekend, and it came with all the same excessive packing that mine [...]
