the story of jess' ring

if you have read the 'about us' section on the website, you have seen pictures of jess' beautiful engagement ring that jeff did so well in picking out. the ring is a lovely handmade piece from a jewelry designer in seattle. it is a simple but graphic design with a large raw herkimer diamond held in placed by several large prongs. its best kept secret is the tiny heart at the base of the diamond- a sweet reminder of the one who picked it out. it is a perfect ring with the exception of one thing - it ended up being quite fragile! as time went on, it continually got caught in pockets, snagged on shirts, and tangled in finn's hair. as beautiful as the ring is, it was not really the most practical for the everyday wear of a mother of a toddler.

we had been saving up to buy a new kitchen table. we had one in mind that came with a hefty price tag, so after months and months, we were finally close to our savings goal. we then found a table we liked almost as much as the original,  but at half the price! yippy! so with the left over saved money, we decided to invest in a slightly more sturdy but equally beautiful ring for jess. the new ring is a stunning piece from tiffany&co -  jess loves it because it reassembles the simplicity and feeling of her old ring, but is much more toddler friendly. and now she has TWO beautiful rings - lucky lady~
