One way to get a less expensive ring or band… |

It may sound cliche, but the best memory I have is when Freesia Dude proposed to me. It was absolutely perfect- it was our anniversary, and he took me to a private dinner on a boat at Town Lake in Austin, TX. – just the two of us. Not only was that perfect in itself, but then he asked me to marry him- he had a heart-shaped necklace in his hand with “Will you marry me?” on it, and as I looked up, he was kneeling with the ring.
I know he was really nervous about the ring. But it was wonderful! The ring he gave me was a round solitaire that had been in his family for generations- since 1888! I just love that. What was he nervous about? He knew I liked white gold, but it was yellow gold. I’ve worn that ring for 7 months, and tonight I got the stone reset into a beautiful white gold setting.
It. is. perfect. The picture does not do it justice. The stone stands out so much more now, and I really feel like the ring is mine because it’s in the color gold I like. Plus, it matches all of my jewelry. I chose the band from a local jewelry store that is closing shop- the band was 75 percent off!! So if you are looking for a wedding band, or a new setting like me, I highly recommend watching out for those stores that are closing. I am all about saving money! And if you are in the San Antonio area, try going to Samuel Jewelers before January 15th!
