Remember this adorablewonderfulmostperfectever Etsy find? No? That’s fair. But get ready a story of a little wedding ring with big heart, because I just took this brand new custom palladium wedding band from WroughtGold out of its safekeeping envelope for a photo shoot for hive-sharing purposes:

The day I posted about the Etsy heart wedding ring that caught my eye, I convoed Gaelen of WroughtGold for a price quote for a 3mm version, in my size, with possibly a rose gold heart instead of the black enamel on the 5mm original.

He came back quickly with a very very reasonable—like perfectly in my price point—number and a great idea to raise the heart on top of the palladium band rather than use rose-gold colored enamel or a labor-intensive gold inlay. He sent me a mock up pic probably made in CAD and within 24 hours I paid him, and he made the whole ring! (He had some free time that Sat. My timing was good!) Within 10 days, little bitty heart ring made this loooong journey:

thanks, Google Maps!

I know, right? Poor little thing had a long ways to go. And I couldn’t track it once it crossed the US border.

But soon enough I had this envelope in my hand:

And inside that envelope was this littler envelope:

And peeking out from under the scrap paper with my name on it was this glorious little ring:

Hey, it’s not the outside (ehem, no frills packaging) but what’s on the inside that counts.

I looove this ring and I cannot WAIT to wear it forever. I just think it is so very me—so very Mr. Thimble and me. A little quirky, a little classic. Coordinates with Mr. T’s band, with an uber girly detail. I usually wear my heart on my sleeve—now I wear it on my ring finger! And the heart is sooo tiny, should I ever wish I didn’t impetuously purchase this heart ring as my wedding band (I won’t) I can just turn it around.

Mr. Thimble’s band should arrive this week. So get ready for another amateur photo shoot.

Do you have a unique wedding band? Where did you find it?
