I have a family ring that was my great grandmothers wedding ring from the early 1900's and I absolutely cherish it. It's kind of sad that we've lost that custom, but unfortunately a lot of people just don't hang on to stuff like that anymore.Amanda Swannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598027661586389738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024301997641187570.post-52184262810194269742011-02-08T09:26:50.461-08:002011-02-08T09:26:50.461-08:00i would hardly call them unconventional, since the...i would hardly call them unconventional, since the whole "classic" diamond solitaire engagement ring is a recent newcomer to the scene, albeit incredibly well advertised. so well, in fact, that people think it's the only way to go and historical to boot. if you read any literature from victorian era and back, it was absolutely normal to give an engagement ring that was a family ring, a grandmother's ring, or some such, with whatever stone. i find it sad to see hordes of little bridettes, all exclaiming in unison about how original their diamond solitaire ring is. yawn.<br />i have an emerald-cut aquamarine ring that my husband had made for me and i adore it. of course you do get the odd person who looks at it and goes "...oh. that's not a diamond." well, imagine that. no, it's not. and thank god for that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024301997641187570.post-45672623032065620782011-02-08T08:50:06.102-08:002011-02-08T08:50:06.102-08:00Im all for it and the second one is so stunning.
