A Love of Antique Jewelry

A few of you were kind enough to comment on my ring, so I
thought I'd give you a closer look. The Mister gave this to me
for our 20th wedding anniversary and it's probably the most
favorite thing I own. It's an antique platinum and diamond
double row eternity ring. I don't know the exact age or the history
behind it but feel very fortunate to have found it in my exact
size since the style makes it impossible to resize.
There's just something about the old vintage stuff,
isn't there?

  7. Oooooh - so glad you posted this close-up, Betsy. It's exquisite. Aren't vintage pieces the best? So much history woven through them. You were obviously meant to have this. Very beautiful - the Mister should get another big hug for that one!! And a big hug to you too :-)

  9. Suza ~ yes, I felt it was meant just for me...the right size and a really good price. I do wish I knew the history of it. I could probably at least do a little research on the style.

  10. Your eternity ring is beautiful. Many points for hubby buying something so beautiful and meaningful for you.

    As to your post about coffee drinkers...I don't suppose there is any benefit for diet coke drinkers is there?

  11. Wow, that is absolutely exquisite!! Whoa, i'm thinking what I got my wife for her 20th and it was lovely but not nearly as dazzling --wasn't jewelry for one.

  12. I love, love antique jewelry and you better believe that I noticed and admired your ring in the previous post! It's gorgeous!

    My own wedding band and engagement ring are antiques. Like yours, they are beautiful pieces of which I knew the history.

    And, don't you love platinum? It's so practical and classy!
