Wedding Jewelry: Our Rings

September 13, 2014 By Sage 4 Comments

Now you’ve seen all of our wedding jewelry, except the most obvious pieces… the rings!

I’ve been back and forth on what to do about my ring because Jackie’s design doesn’t really allow for a wedding band, which left me with two options:

1) Have a thin platinum band made to fit under the face of the ring.
2) Retire Jackie to occasional wear and choose an entirely different wedding ring.

The first option seemed a bit silly because I’m not hellbent on having a wedding band and because no one would know it was there except me (and the guy who put it there).

I loved Jackie the first time I saw her in the shop window and she’s the one Robert slipped onto my finger in Bellagio, so relegating her to my jewelry box seemed sad and unnecessary.  She’s become a part of me… and our history, and so she will be my wedding ring.

Vintage Sapphire Engagement Ring
Jackie (Kennedy) is a vintage 1940’s platinum, diamond, and deep blue hexagonal-cut sapphire ring.  Because of her age, she’s very fragile and had to be repaired last month, so she might not be viable for longterm daily wear, but we’ll see.

Robert’s ring is a medium-weight 4mm platinum court-shaped wedding band, a bespoke piece made by our usual jeweler in London’s Hatton Garden jewelry district and I think it’s so sweet that he keeps trying it on :)

P.S. If you haven’t already liked my Facebook page, now would be a good time to do it…  I’ll be posting from Gibraltar, and that will be your first chance to see which dress I’ve chosen!

    Why not wear Jackie on your right hand and a wedding band on your left (or vice versa)?

      My right hand is already a bit full with Little Edie and the new addition I’m expecting in the coming week ;-)

    You could do a hexagon eternity ring as your wedding band to match Jackie, sort of like this: http://www.pearlmansjewelers.com/jewelry-designers/beverley-k-jewelry/rings/60PP1/

      It’s a nice idea, but I’d really like to keep with vintage pieces, and a wedding band isn’t particularly important to me.

Once upon a time, I had the chance to move to the happiest country in the world!

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
