Finally got both my wedding band and my new camera, hurrah! Old pics of my ering are here: Victory ring. I still need practice with my shiny new Canon, but here''s few pics until I get the hang of it.

Both rings were purchased from Cross Jewelers, they are die-struck platinum with handcarved designs (similar to Van Craeynest).

First, the new band in its box:

Hi Selkie! I love my canon! I hope you don''t mind I linked your Victory B E A U T Y to a sweet fella who is trying to find a sapphire for a custom ering.

Not at all! I love my canon too...I picked it up for the first time literally 2 hours ago and started shooting with it. Haven''t even read the manual yet. It''s so easy!

BTW I have been meaning to ask...I have been to downtown Portland a couple of times, but I never saw Cross or any other jewelry stores besides the ''folky'' ones (sterling silver stuff). Where exactly is Cross located?

Thanks! I'm a sucker for scroll motifs. I wanted to register for matching flatware

but FI thought that was a little silly.

Cross is on the second floor of a building at 570 Congress St. That's about 3 or 4 blocks back from the waterfront (Commercial St). I've only been there once, so I'm not totally sure but I think there are signs at street level.
I think it's near the LL Bean factory store, if you know where that is.
 
What a beautiful wedding set!
 
Very pretty set! The details of the hand carved designs are amazing! Enjoy the new camera and ring!
 
It''s gorgeous! I love it!

Your set is really lovely! And I LOVE diamonds and sapphires together!
 
Such a perfect set! It won''t be long now before that baby is on your hand permanently! And great camera! I have a Canon too and love it. Glad you got it! Now go take more pictures!
 
Gorgeous set!!! Of course I may be biased towards sapphires..................LOL.

Two more shots, and then I need to go to work.

. Here''s one in B&W of my set, and FI''s rings. The silver braided one is handmade by a guy in Florida, and is amazing craftmanship. The cable band is a Triton titanium band. FI does ship rigging as a sideline, and so he really wanted a ring to reflect that, and we thought these were perfect.

His rings alone. The titanium ring is actually his wedding band, but they both fit his personality so well, he will probably wear the braided one instead, sometimes.

Beautiful set, I really love the engraving on the rings!
 
Selkie, the engraving on your matching band is fantastic!!! Love that set. The braided ring for him is fabulous - I really like it!
 
Oh, I really like J''s rings too!!! Those are so special!!! And very HIM! Awesome!!
 
Those are beautiful, Selkie! That scrollwork reminds me a lot of the VC rings I am looking at. I just love Ralph at Cross Jewelers. I wish I could make it to their store someday!
 
Love the scroll work. I love the setting. Is that what you call a fishtail? My two favorites....diamonds and sapphires.
 
Both of your ring sets are absolutely adorable! I love the reflection of your hubby 2 be''s ship riggin in the cables. I''m a sucker for sentiment and I must say that is a very handsome band

OH and I see you are playing around with your camera''s color modes. Do you have color accent mode where everything else is is B&W and you choose one color??? I would
