Our word, message, stacking and statement rings.
I still remember the day I received my engagement ring. It wasn't really a surprise that I was getting it or how is was going to look. I had picked out the diamond, chosen the jeweler to make it and sketched out what I wanted. My husband has always said it is hard to buy jewelry for a jeweler, so I "helped". It was right before Christmas, so I was sure we wouldn't get it until after. The jeweler was too busy to finish it and we were in no hurry. The day I got it, it was a surprise. I remember thinking what it meant when Jim pretended to trip, dropped to a knee and asked me to be his wife, 3 days before Christmas. It was the beginning of our family. The promise of so much.
Later that year I carved out and created his first wedding ring. It was never really a perfect fit, the ring was too thick. It was difficult for him to play violin while wearing it. So one day after taking it off to play, it fell out of his violin case...he lost it. I was upset, hurt and then I pulled off one of my rings and handed it to him. Of course with a few choice words thrown in. It fit perfectly. He hasn't taken it off since. I had the ring made for me again in rose gold. It's a special reminder of our commitment and the challenges we often face as a family.
May your wildest dreams come true
I love everything that rings symbolize. No ending or beginning, eternity. A commitment to yourself or to someone else. The promise of something incredible. Whether or not it's given to you by a loved one, a dear friend or chosen by you as a present to yourself, it holds tremendous meaning.
For years now, we've been getting requests to have custom wording on our rings. So HERE they are finally..ta da. Custom hand stamped rings. We have three different font styles from which to choose. They are the same size and style of our word, message and statement rings and of course look fabulous stacked. Think of lovely mommy rings filled with kids names just in time for mother's day!
We are giving away one hand stamped custom ring!
First Entry: Tell us what you'd have us hand stamp on the ring and why.
Extra Entries: Tweet about it, Facebook about it, blog about it.
We will let Random.org choose the winner tonight at 10 pm PST.
I hate being the first comment! But oh well, this is an easy one for me! Although your rings are my favorite things, I love the idea of getting the children's names on the ring for Mother's Day, and that is exactly what I would do! My mom loves her rings, and is constantly losing a stone, or some other ring fiasco, but this would certainly last a life-time.
Thanks for the nifty idea and the customization option! <3

I would have it stamped "way in the moon" - it's the phrase we say after I love you to my niece and nephews. It would be a great reminder of how many I love and how many love me way in the moon.

I would love the words love, hope and faith on a ring. They would be daily reminders of what I need to get me through the day.

Would love to have a ring with the word grace on it - that's my word for the year!

I think if I were buying a ring for myself, I would put something like 'patience' or find a quote I liked having to do with patience. I never feel like I have enough and I'd love a reminder on my hand :)

I loved your story! And I love this idea! If I had the ring engraved- I'd love for it to say "Any road"
I've determined my words to live by for this portion of my life is "if you dont know where you're going, any road will take you there" Its actually the cheshire cat- but I think it applies to me right now. I don't know what I will be doing even 2 years from now, but I know that with hard work, I will get whereever I should be!

I also tweeted- I really love these rings!!

I would be in love with a ring that said 'fearlessness' because I'm at a point in my life that I need to live that! I'm trying like heck to just let life play out and not try to force it!
Posted by: Mandy | April 19, 2011 at 01:23 PM
I love these rings of yours! They are perfect! I'm not sure what I would have it say...
"Chase your dreams"
"Never give up"
"Art is life"
"Let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine!"

I would love a ring with the word "deliver" on it. It has been my mantra of late when I am struggling with work or my confidence, I use the mantra "deliver" to remind me that I keep my word and AM ABLE to deliver on what I say I'm capable of doing.

I just realized my first comment didn't go through. So, here is the second attempt.
I have several phrases that I'd love to see on a ring.
Just Do It ("Do" is my word for 2011)
Always Forever
All Is Well
Ask Seek Knock
Keep On, Keeping On

My dear husband actually said this to me once "our love is made of dawn" and I would love to have it on a ring! Thanks, Amy. Love your stuff!!

I love your "always dreaming" ring. When I saw that I thought it fit my life perfectly. So you already said it best for me. Great contest!
