With my 1 year wedding anniversary coming up, I thought I''d share with you my Birks collection - my e-ring, wedding band, and a gift from my MIL - which I plan to wear on my right hand. My rings aren''t custom made and they aren''t "big", but I love them! Please excuse my ugly hand and my poor photography skills... I need a better SLR.

My e-ring is a Birks Signature Blue. My husband particularly chose this design as the sapphire is my birthstone. :) The photos don''t do it''s justice... the stone is tiny but sooooo sparkly! My wedding band is also from Birks. Both are 18kt WG.

Birks Excellent-Cut
4.42 - 4.46x 2 .71mm
0.32 ct
VS1 / F
Total Depth 60.9%
Table Size 56%
Crown Angle 35.0 degrees
Crown Height 15.1%
Girdle Thickness Thin to Slightly thick, faceted
Pavilion Depth 42.9%
Culet Size None
Polish Very Good
Symmetry Very Good
Fluorescence None
Set on 18k White Gold

This is a ring given to me as part of a wedding gift and a pass-it-down, from my Mother in Law. She has no daughters so she wanted to give it to her oldest daughter in law (me). So nice and thoughtful of her. She got this ring from Birks in the 70s I think, when she got married. It gives off so much sparkles!

I don''t have the exact specs, but this is what I know....

Birks 18kt cast round design cluster ring
Center Stone: 0.26 ct
VVS1 / F
Cut: Good
14 prong set single cut diamonds, total weight 0.12 ct
VVS1 / F
Cut: Good

Wow, I love them! You have sparklers, there!

Ya know... I think it''s so special how your MIL gave you that Birks ring. I get sentimental just thinking about it. I turn to mush when I think about FI''s parents and how they welcomed me so warmly. It is amazing, isn''t it?

And the ring she gave you is LOVELY! I wouldn''t call it a cluster ring because of the nice diamond in the center. I''d call it an old school HALO! Who knew the halo was invented back in the 70s?
