breakfast at tiffany's

okay. i have no business, whatsoever, looking at diamonds.

but. well. i was studying in the library... and you know how that can lead to sifting through pictures of engagement rings.

i've always known i'm not a 3-stone kinda girl-- past, present, future! 

really?
please excuse my gagging.

i want something unique, a statement about me, a significant piece of jewelry that will not grace every third girl in provo's left hand.

i admit-- once something that i love becomes a trend, 

my love for it can {but not always} decrease substantially.

 like this. oh, i loved this ring. i dreamt bit dreams of this ring.

and i still think it's pretty... but much too provo-popular for its own good.

but i trust you to not copy my new engagement-ring style because it's probably atypical. even unusual. 

but i love it.

i'm not a gold girl. but wow is this stunning! 

and how much would my future husband love me for picking this ring?! 

there's another version, which is exquisite, too. with a little bling bling if ya know what i'm sayin.

 my discovery of the "love knot" rings led to a more fervent search... and i unveiled these-- which i adore.

my dream is that on that blessed day when the future hubbs says, "hey lover, i wanna marry you-- let's pick out a ring as unique and perfect as you are" we'll go hunt through antique shops! because i would love a vintage ring as much as the man.

completely irrelevant to me today,
i know, 
but a girl can't help but think of these things in advance. 

and then... i discovered something of true beauty in theory.

you see, i have a spoon ring which i love. had it for years. i get compliments all the time.

then... i discovered a sparkly spoon ring! what could be better than a spoon ring with diamonds to signify your love and affection for eternity?

i mean, engaged/married couples spoon all the time. it just seems fitting.

{note-- i dislike the hearts but the overall idea theme is magnificent}
