Ringing Endorsement

June 3rd, 2011 @ 10:46 am by Mrs. Pony

So, before we go any further, I have to introduce my engagement ring to the hive. I absolutely love my ring (I should—I picked it out), and we’ve been BFFs since Mr. Pony gave her to me. (And yes, my ring is female.)

So, without further ado, my engagement ring, Savannah (yes, I am the crazy lady that names inanimate objects):

She’s got an oval-cut center stone perched on the thinnest band I could find. I think she has a look that is classic and won’t look outdated in 30 years, but is still modern and pretty (but I am slightly biased).

Some more pictures of her on random stuff around the yard because, like the Black Eyed Peas, I just can’t get enough.

Missing my finger

Clearly, I’m smitten with this little lady. In fact, I love her so much, her oval shape has influenced some of our decor decisions. So much so that I’ve been referring to it as an oval theme, despite telling you we don’t have a theme. I like to contradict myself. Whatever.

What does your engagement ring look like? Did you help pick it out, or was it a surprise? Does your ring influence your decor decisions or am I the only crazy one?

Your ring is sooo beautiful! My fiance and I had ours custom made. It was essentially in my total control. Kinda loved it that way, and my fiance had no problem with this. He planned the proposal and I got the ring I always envisioned.

I also name inanimate objects! My ring’s name is Lucita. So maybe you aren’t so crazy :)

This is pretty much EXACTLY what I wanted and dreamed of. I still got my gorgeous oval but FI chose a beautiful channel set band instead of shared/pave. I LOVE my ring… not too many of us oval girls out there!

Yay!! I love it! Congrats on a beautiful ring!! My engagement ring is a 3 stone oval setting - a big one in the middle and two smaller ones on the sides, all oval. you don’t see a lot of oval cuts out there - it’s nice to have something unique, right?? And I agree on the timelessness of it.

I wanted an oval so, SO bad. Your ring and setting are gorgeous!

We ended up going with a vintage filigree ring with a round blue diamond center, which is super unique and so beautiful, and I love it.

But still, my oval diamond dreams hold a small part of my heart. We could have been ring twins!

We went and picked out the ring together, but then he hid it from me for 4 months before he proposed. I was so excited when I got it! I LOVE your ring!

Beautiful! I had no idea my fiance was proposing so he picked out the ring on his own. We had never even looked at rings. He basically picked the center stone and put it on a basic band. I had it reset in a different setting similar to the Tiffany Lucida and it is perfect!

It does look like a Savannah! And btw Psychology studies say that people who name/personify inanimate objects tend to be exceptionally loving and social people (ie the see the opporutnity to sympathize/make new friends everywhere!)
