#JOTW My Beloved.

[mrs-b]

Well, I waited for the man for 22 years. The best man. The perfect man for me.

And for 37 years he's spoiled me, and loved me, and provided for me, and protected me and just plain been there for me. He's turned up a zillion times and done more, given more and been more than I could ever have expected when he first wandered into a friend's room at college when he was 18 years old and was introduced to me as "the guy who lives on the next floor...."

We married just before he turned 20 and just after I'd turned 24. We were both with other people when we met, but I knew within 3 days of meeting him that this was 'the guy'. This was The One. He was, and has forever been since, my beloved.

So when we got to *this* place in time with rings, and we decided this would be the IT ring, the *last* ring, there was just no other name.

This is my 'Beloved'.

Beautiful love story! Can't wait to see pics!

18kt yellow gold and platinum.

Solitaire - 4.05ct H VS1 ACA by WhiteFlash.

Five stone - 5 x 26 and 27 pointers, E VS and VVS, individually certified, ideal cut, by Blue Nile.

Plain band.

All rings hand-milgrained, plus platinum wraps and platinum fleur de lys back-of-ring decal on the 5 stone and the solitaire. Fleur de lys basket design shamelessly stolen from my Victorian peal bypass ring.

All designs by me. All rings expertly made by David Klass Jewelry and meticulously supervised by the INCREDIBLE Amy Phillips.

@mrs-b when you said you were spending hours agonizing over a “solitaire” I thought “this is gonna be good”. But nothing prepared me for HOW good.

This is one of, if not THE, most classy, extraordinary, piece of art jewelry I have ever seen (this goes for all 3 pieces).

[Cerulean]

Love love love! Meticulously crafted. I think you’ve convinced me that any further settings of mine might need to still be with DK. The craftsmanship of these rings is impeccable, it’s such a versatile but impossibly detailed set. Wonderful.

 

[Redwoods-hiker-girl]

Perfection and swoon-worthy. Wishing you and your husband a lifetime of continued love and joy!

 

[ZestfullyBling]

The brief story of how you and DH met so heartwarming!! Sounds like the love of you two is still going strong!! Congrats on your beloved and rings!!

 

[Tartansparkles]

Beautiful, simple and solid. Congrats to you both.
