Since I'm the one who's on these boards all the time, I'll post the pics of her rings.
After a lot of searching and finding nothing suitable, I decided I would just have my own ring made, being the designer I am. I love to incorporate symbolism into my designs so to say the least, I had to go all out on the most important design of my life. I designed these and had them custom made bya jeweler out of Oklahoma.
The Engagement Ring is set in 18k white gold with a 1.20 carat blue sapphire. The first time I told my DF I loved her was on 12/18/06 under the fireworks at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (
MVMCP). So three years later, I decided I would one-up myself and propose to her on 12/18/09. The crests represent a tiara. She is after all my princess. They also represent the past, present, and future. The first crest is the past, the middle the present, and the last is the future. It means to always live in the present but never forget your past but to also look forward to your future.
The Wedding band is simpler. It has 8 sapphires and 7 diamonds. There are also 4 separate levels within 2 crests. The 2 crests represent her and me. Our anniversary is 8/4 hence the levels and the sapphires and we intend to get married on our 7th anniversary.

It came after our vr, but I am so excited to have it.
