Rings

Even though it's been a year since I've been pregnant my left ring finger still hasn't returned to its normal size. That means that I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings. I've been wearing a ring with white sapphires that I got last year, but the longer I wear it the less I like it. I thought about re-sizing my wedding rings, but after talking to the jeweler I decided to wait. She said that multiple re-sizings can damage the rings, so I figured I'd wait until I'm done having kids, and then get them re-sized once and for all.

In the meantime I've been considering getting a replacement. I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on my decoy wedding ring, but I do want something unique. I found all of these on Overstock.com for fifty dollars or less apiece.

I've been drawn to smoky quartz lately. It's so pretty and different. I liked these three examples.




I also like the simplicity and small size of this ring, but I'm not crazy about the color.


I am crazy, however, about the color of this ring. It's orange sapphire. Again, it's pretty and different.


I don't know if I'll buy anything, but it's something to think about.

  • They're all beautiful! But you're right, I like the orange and brown stones better than the blue.

    I'm glad I don't have to decide -- can't wait to see what you've picked!!

  • I love the first two the best, the brown is so beautiful. You know I totally support the idea of changing up your wedding ring once in a while. In fact, my ring before last came from Overstock. It was a great deal and I always get lots of compliments.

    Regarding the resizing of your original ring- when going up a size be sure you ask them to add gold rather than stretch it.

    Can't wait to see what you decide!

  • I love the smoky quartz. If you like orange stones, have you checked out fire opals? I fell in love with one at a jewelry store at the mall. Plus it's my birthstone. They're beautiful though.
