About Me: I think of life as a journey and I love the places it's taking me! I went to school to study Magazine Journalism, ended up with a second major in Japanese language, and now work at a company that makes software for libraries. I love writing, computers, photography, and the great outdoors. I spend most of my time playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band or geeking out online with Mr. Cherry Pie. I'm happiest when I'm on the road, especially traveling abroad, or just nesting quietly at home with my sweetie, who is a fabulous cook and bakes a delicious rendition of a certain cherry-filled dessert!
A Present For Myself
April 28th, 2008 @ 2:33 pm by Mrs. Cherry Pie
Recently, Mr. Cherry Pie and I swung by Tiffany & Co while running errands in Downtown Seattle. I had a necklace I wanted cleaned and a bracelet I’d received that I wanted to exchange for something more “me.”
Mr. Cherry Pie spotted this beautiful bracelet, which he thought complemented my ring in a way that jewelry rarely does:
(Ugh, my knuckles look awful. I’m 5’ 10″ but I have freakishly small hands!)
The bracelet wasn’t exactly an even trade pricewise, but I had some money on a gift card left over from last Christmas that made the purchase affordable enough. And it’s sooooo pretty!
I don’t know yet if this is a piece of jewelry that I will wear to the wedding, but it’s definitely something that I will wear regularly, even with jeans.
Have you purchased any jewelry specifically to coordinate with your wedding or engagement bands?

oooh pretty!!! it will definitely go with everything!
Nice! I haven’t bought jewelry to coordinate with my E-ring, but a lot of our wedding was inspired by my E-ring, which is arts and crafts style. Our venue is sort of arts & crafts (California craftsman), and our invitations and flowers were also inspired by that style. I wanted to everything to have an understated, old-fashioned feel. By the way, I love your ring- it’s so unique!
I love the bracelet!! How cool that they coordinate!
My Fi gave me some earings with blue topaz in them to match my e-ring (It’s primary stone is a blue topaz) for Valentine’s Day. It was so sweet and he tried really hard. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that the my ring (he picked it) is white gild and the earings are yellow gold (which I never wear). I will probably get the earings rodiumed when I have my ring done before the wedding.
miss cherry pie: i am pretty much dying to know how you’re making a wedding band work with your ring! mine is similar in style (with the wavy thing going on) and i’m at a loss.
that’s awesome!
@Ms. Uptown Girl: Alas, I’m not sure yet! We’re working on having something made by the jeweler who designed it… check out this post to see our ideas so far:

yes - I have a pave band, so my new hubby is so cute and loves to get me matching pave things - hoops earrings, necklace, etc.
I love your bracelet! How wonderful that is matches your ring so perfectly 
FH got me a bracelet from Tiffany for my birthday a few years ago and I never take it off, it’s going to be hard finding different jewlery for the BIG DAY… I may just wear the bracelet he bought me then.
My coordinating jewelry actually came first. The first jewelry items by now fiance ever gave me was a pair of sapphire earrings… which now match my ring perfectly. I think I might find a pendant or a bracelet to go along with the set. And I would wear that awesome bracelet on the day of if I were you.
It looks really great with your ring, no wonder you couldn’t resist it
