Last weekend Jeff and I went to my family jeweler in Salt Lake to look at engagement rings!!! I know...long time coming right. Well...no official engagement yet but I'm really excited and can't wait to start all the planning, but back to my RING story.
Limb Jewelers in Salt Lake is a 2nd generation jewelry store that has been a staple in my jewelry-obsessed family since my grandmother started going there more than 30 years ago. Stan, the founder, made my parents' wedding rings. His son Larry, who is now running the store with his wife Becky and their 3 children, will be making mine.
Jeff and I got to the store and we didn't know where to start. How do you start shopping for THE ring??? I'd printed out some pictures of types that I liked but they were all so different.
These were just a few of the ideas. Well we pulled about 8 styles of rings to look at. Some were reminiscent of the Art Deco era (which is sort of my wedding theme), some were very contemporary with lots of Pave diamonds, and some were solitares with intricate settings. Jeff and I sat for about an hour going between 4 rings that I loved. In the end I picked a wide band all Pave and we went to talk sizes and price.
As Larry was sizing my finger I looked down and there was the most beautiful twisted band ring with a wedding band that curved around it. It literally took my breath away. I couldn't decide and you all know Jeff said, "I don't know". He was just grateful he didn't have to do this alone.
Well Larry let me take the rings home over the week so I could decide. I wore them on different days to see which one I liked more. I told Jeff I couldn't decide and he would just have to pick. He told me he wanted me to have the twisted one...
Well i'm not going to post a picture because once it is size and on my finger you will all get to see it!!!!!! Be prepared. Its stunning
