Wedding bling

This is my ring. Very simple, very plain. At some point there seems to have been a design on the ring, and there is engraving on the inside. I think the inscription was their initials and the wedding date. It's hard to read due to the size of the band and the fact that it's 18K, and so starting to wear away.

My beautiful shabby chic wedding ring:


And with my engagement ring.It's not a traditionally perfect match, but it works. I like that it doesn't compete with the engagement ring, but it showcases it. Both of them are made more beautiful by being together. I really didn't remember it as white gold, and I'm happy it is. It even fits right--I'm amazed it goes on my little sausage finger, LOL. I know HTB never saw it before, so I'd like to think it was meant to be.

Both rings are exquisite. Was the wedding ring an heirloom?

Add me to the curious about the history...

Oh, seeing your pretty rings is making your special day seem very close, Rachel! How excited you must be :)

Both of your rings are beautiful. My wedding ring looks identical to yours. Just a simple plain thin white gold band. That's all I ever wanted. I think your will be so special because it was your grandmother's.

Love it! Simple but yet full of history. Where did you get it? It really does compliment your engagement ring :o) Gorgeous btw!

They do go together well, and the story behind the wedding band is precious.

I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can’t be helped--Frederick Perls
