Time to put a ring on it!

Dom and I finally ordered our rings!! It took us awhile to choose them since he wanted something dazzling, and I wanted something cost effective. haha. I didn't want a diamond because I don't think that they are all that special. They cost way too much and everyone has them and they could be corrupt and all types of things. But he wanted me to have some bling. I don't wear yellow gold, but he's allergic to silver, and white gold and platinum are too expensive for my taste. Honestly, I just didn't want him spending a lot on rings because, though I know that they are to last forever, I wanted him to save money for other reasons.

Finally, though, after looking at a LOT of rings, we found a shop on Etsy that makes gorgeous titanium rings with precious and semi-precious stones. Since titanium is so common, the rings' prices went way down, but they are more scratch-proof and durable than any other metals that rings are commonly made of. And I chose an engagement ring with a white sapphire, which is just as radiant as a diamond and almost as hard on Moh's scale, but way more reasonable in price. Plus, it comes with the guarantee that blood wasn't shed for it. And my engagement ring and his wedding band have sterling silver inlays for a little bit of contrast and uniqueness.

We haven't received our rings yet, but right now we're really happy with our choices, and we can't wait for them to get shipped from the states. It'll take a few weeks since we're getting them custom made, so here are the store photos to suffice for now.
