… Are You Even Paying Attention?

… Are You Even Paying Attention?

This past Saturday Mr. Seashell and I went to pick out/pick up our wedding bands. Mine had been in the works for a while, as I was having a simple eternity band made out of stones that belonged to my Grandmother. Mr. Seashell, on the other hand, had some work to do.

He had previously tried on several rings and had a general idea of what he liked, but he still needed to choose “the one”.

So many choices…

As he was looking, the jeweler brought out my finished band. I have been dying (dying!) do see the finished product. Here I am marveling at my engagement ring and wedding band - united for the first time!

Then I couldn’t stop myself. I started taking pictures… a lot of pictures. It started to become a bit of a photo shoot.

Once I started toying with putting my bands in the jeweler’s trays, I was met with this face:

Uh… yes? Sorry honey. I swear this appointment is about you. (Oops. He totally called me out.) OK. Back to work.

With my focus reinstated, we searched and searched and searched some more. Mr. Seashell is one selective guy! We debated the merits of platinum versus white gold, and looked at brushed finishes, milligrain edges, comfort fit, and the list goes on. After thinking I had a sense of what he’d pick, he pleasantly surprised me with a stylish yet understated ring. My man has good taste.

Unfortunately, neither of our rings could be taken home that day. Mr. Seashell’s needs to be made in his size and mine had a stone that needed to be replaced. Thank goodness someone was there documenting so thoroughly! OK - one more pic for the road - our wedding bands!

Did your FI’s taste surprise you at all? Did you pick out your wedding bands together or separately?

His ring is nice. But yours is gorgeous! Can I just let you in on a secret and say that I’m totally jealous of your oval cut ring? I love oval cuts and often wonder if I should have gone that route. Sigh.

@Mrs. Perfume: You’re sweet! I was never set on a oval, but I’ve come to absolutely adore it. However, your emerald is simply stunning! There are just too many beautiful options out there!

I was super surprised that FH wanted some bling on his ring. So, he has a tungsten band with 3 tiny diamonds in it.

We’ve been hunting for rings for weeks. I think we have too many choices with the NYC diamond district. And my guy keeps surprising me with his preferences.

@Goldilocks1107 mine does too! Some bling but not too much. It was a real shocker.
