How’s ‘Bout A Little Bling?
November 7th, 2006 @ 10:57 am by Mrs. Kiwi
Like many of the Bees (bugs, flowers, fruit) before me, I thought I’d share my engagement ring with everyone. Shinnnny…
Up close pudge hand shot.
The ring is in a white gold Robbins Bros. setting, set with a radiant shape center stone. On my GIA cert it’s a rectangular cut cornered brilliant - all the bonus of a round with the shape of an emerald! Wedding bands are still being debated, but I’m leaning towards just a plain white gold 2mm band.

It’s beautiful!!! Did you or Mr. Kiwi choose it?
Preeetttyyyyyyy!!! You already know I love your ring, but seeing pictures again is always great! 
Hmmm now I wanna post mine too, but that’s being too much of a copycat so I’ll have to wait a little while! 
Hoshiko, the treatment at Robbins Bros. was excellent, but the prices weren’t as good as I had found online- I found my exact same setting in platinum on Blue Nile for the same price. And we all know platinum is more expensive that white gold. 
So I think I would rather have done it online, like Miss Apple. BUT, the good thing was I tried on all the things I wanted to try on, and that’s why I ended up not getting a round! I think Robbins Bros. is a great resource, but know you CAN find better.
Miss Blueberry… The shame. 
We went to RB to try on the settings to see what I liked. Then I saw this one, and had to buy it. So we had the setting MONTHS before we even started looking for the center stone. Which I also picked. It was SO matter of fact, he transfered the money into my account, and I wired it to White Flash. Mr. Kiwi DID hold the ring hostage for 10 days, though. Because I’m so short, he put it in a high spot!
I’ve never heard of the cut of your rock.. but it is beaautiful! =o) He made a great choice.
our rings are very simliar.. oh, and pretty manicure!
Miss Ant, I love my radiant. It has the sparkle of a round but the cool cut of the emerald!
Miss Violet, you have a radiant too? I love it.
Amber!

About Me: I'm a bookkeeper who failed high school algebra. I'm currently living in Los Angeles, literally a street over from where I grew up with Mr. Kiwi, my honey of three years. We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!
Your ring is gorgeous! My boyfriend and I are looking for engagement rings and we were considering visiting Robbin’s Bros. How was your experience?
