Wedding band pictures!

[jennalyns]

Hello all! My husband and I got married a few weeks ago, so now I can finally post hand pictures of my wedding band! We got them soldered in Key West (we went there on the honeymoon), they did a great job and also polished the e-ring to look new again.

ps- excuse my swollen fingers, it's 95 degrees and 80 percent humidity here, and the Japanese don't have central air conditioning!

These are a pair of 24K rings my mother-in-law gave me as a wedding gift. I''m not sure what the stones are, probably pink sapphires, but they sparkle like nothing I''ve ever seen, as much as my diamonds do. The rings are supposed to be stacked, and I wear them on my right hand but had to take the picture on my left since I couldn''t hold the camera steady.

Last one for now! This is a conch shell pendant I picked up in Key West. It''s 14k, and I wanted to find something I really couldn''t get any place else.

Hi Jenna! Congrats on having your full wedding set. They look so nice together. I really like your conch shell pendant too!

Congratulations on your wedding!!!! I have always loved your ring. The wedding band looks fantastic with it! Did you have any hesitation about getting it soldered? I have a band that curves to match my e-ring, and I know I should probably have it soldered because it is always twisting and turning. However I have held out b/c I love seeing my e-ring alone (when I take it on and off). But yours see like one unit in a good way - maybe I need to rethink having mine done.

I really love your wedding set. Bypass designs are so cool. And I want one of those pendants! So cool. Never seen one llike it. I love floral or nautical designs in gold.
I always wondered about 24k gold jewelry, is it really soft and prone to bending? I heard somewhere it was. Just curious!

~~Love the set!! Congrats!!!

Thanks for the compliments. I love the way the rings look together! Gail, originally I hesitated to get them soldered because I had heard horror stories about it being done wrong, and the first few jewelers we went to said it would take a month to solder platinum because they had to send it out.

But I wore the rings unsoldered for a few days after the wedding, and they never stayed put; because of the design it was really uncomfortable when they didn''t line up. We were walking down the main street in Key West and found a jeweler that would do it in 30 minutes for us! I was nervous but he did an awesome job, you can''t see the solder at all, even from the inside. I like it much better this way! I''ve kind of newly fallen in love with my set again.

Diamondsrock, the 24K gold is extremely soft, I have to be very careful with the rings and don''t wear them every day. They have small scratches on the back already even though I am careful, and a jeweler told me they would bend easily if I pressed on them. My husband''s mom is Korean, and apparently it is Korean tradition to give 24K gold gifts for weddings. She also gave us a beautiful 24K gold key, it''s about 5 inches long and engraved with beautiful Korean designs, she said I''m supposed to give it to my daughter when she gets married (notice the baby pressure already!

).

The pendant was from the Key West Pearl company, I just found that they have a website, http://www.keywestpearl.com/page/page/1191129.htm. They had all kinds of cool ocean-y designs, but I figured the conch shell was the most unique and not something I could find elsewhere. I really like it, and it looks kind of like a heart from a distance.

Gorgeous! I love the way the wedding set looks together. And what unique yg rings...they look so buttery and gorgeous with those pink stones. Very cool tropical, sentimental necklace. You raked it in!!

Your wedding set is lovely and so are your stackable rings and the pendant! Congratulations!

 

[lizz]

Beautiful jewelry.

 

[Sundial]

Congratulations and best wishes on your marriage! I just love your engagement ring and it looks fantastic with the matching band. With a set like that I think you are wise to have them soldered together so they don''t drive you crazy!!! Your 24 kt. rings and your pendant are also lovely and unusual. Thanks for sharing.

Jennalyns, your wedding set looks great! Congrats! The necklace looks very pretty and sweet. The gold rings look beautiful, the pink really pops with the rich gold color. It seems like a lot of the asian cultures have the tradition of giving 24kt gold as gifts to the bride. They might not be practical for daily wear but they sure are so beautiful.

Hi Jennalyns ~

Congratulations

on your recent marraige, and may the two of you be blessed with

love

& happiness

!

I like the semi bezel on your ering ... pretty! And I think you wring fits perfectly!

I can imagine how uncomfortable it would be if they didn''t line up just right, smart move getting them soldered together! Glad to hear they did it in a timely fashion for you and the workmanship was good!

Your MIL is so sweet! The YG rings are very pretty too! Enjoy!!

I love the conch pendant

, and how special to buy something that will bring back many happy memories of your honeymoon!

Take care and have a wonderful day!

I LOVE how the WB fits perfectly flush w/ your e-ring! I am shooting for the same thing. I see you had yours soldered, but do you have an alternate WB for when you dont wanna wear your e-ring???

 

[jennalyns]

hi! sebcannon, no, I don''t have another wedding band. I never take my rings off except to clean them or if I''m cooking. The way my ring''s set, it''s pretty durable and I''m such a sap that I have to have them on at all times.

Your ring is gorgeous, by the way!!

 

[sebcannon]

Thanks Jen! You ring does look pretty durable...I''m like you hto, I never wanna take mine off! I''m so sentimental (sp?)
