I am happy to report that my BF proposed to me! We came back from Florida on Saturday after spending sometime with BF''s (can I now say FI) family. I was almost crying because we also spent a good amount of time looking at rings and nothing popped! I see all your beautiful rings and I just became so frustrated, because I just wanted something special and unique. My BF could sense my frustration and just minutes after arriving to our apartment he got down on one knee and proposed. He said that the fact that he did not have a ring available at that very moment did not mean we had to postpone making plans for our future and then he asked me to marry him and "to accept him with all his flaws, because he will always pale in comparison to my perfection in his eyes!" And for some reason I just blurted out what my grandma always tells me, "Love isn''t about finding the perfect person, it''s about finding an imperfect person, perfect!" He laughed at me and then said, "I guess I''ll take that as a yes!"

Well Sunday night I was looking for a missing earring. These were very special to me because my grandfather gave them to me and he died last year. I was beside myself and I then found it. These earrings are Mokume- Gane and very unique. I then went on-line to see if I could get a matching necklace made when I found the most beautiful and unique engagement rings.I showed the site to my FI and said, well it''s done. So we are flying out to Arizona for a couple of days next week (hopefully)to design my rings and his possibly. These have to be fitted correctly the first time, because after they are made they cannot be resized.

Here''s a link to the site:

I am most interested in the Mokume Embrace in either the palladium or platinum I would like to see both metals before I decide. I believe that someone steered me toward asapphire instead of emerald stone, and I love the look of the sapphire in this setting. I definitely am going with a colored stone.
 
Awwwww!!!!!!!!! What a sweet story!!! Have a BLAST designing your rings, and congratulations!
 
Congratulations on the engagement! I love mokume gane jewelry - it reminds me of flowing water or wood grain and it''s so beautiful! I can''t wait to see your finished set! Have fun designing them!
 
Those are very interesting rings..the more I see them, the more I like them.
 
Congratulations on the proposal AND the perfect ring!
 
Thanks! I don''t think the engagment has fully sunk in yet. Plus from what I understand I may have to wait a while (10 weeks?) for the ring to be ready. Until then I think I''ll just tie a piece of string arounf my finger to remind me!
 
Congratulations!! And what a piece of art you''re going to be able to wear as a symbol of your love, the fusing together of different metals to create a beautiful new piece!
 
congratulations!! your ring will be very beautiful. cant wait to see it!
 
Congratulations on your engagement, what a sweet story!
Those rings are beautiful...good luck making your choice!
 
Very cool! Congrats! I think the patterns on those types of rings are just gorgeous.
 
Cingrats, those rings are very cool. I hope you guys have a blast picking out your rings, sounds like fun to me.

I love that type of ring. Congratulations!
 
Just saw your avatar and looked this thread up - first of all Congratulations, and secondly just to say that Mokume-Gane is a great way to go.

I bought DH a mokume-gane wedding band and it gets lots of compliments. I worked with Andura Designs and they were great (www.anduradesigns.com)

Have fun designing your ring - I certainly did!

Those rings are ART! Gorgeous. :) Congratulations, and have fun!
 
Wow those rings are fabulous, totally unlike anything I''ve ever seen! Can''t wait to see pics once you''ve decided.

Oh, and 10 weeks is nothing...I''ve been wearing the temporary ring that FI proposed with for nigh on 5 months now. Why? Because I keep looking at this forum and changing my mind!! Channel set? Prong set? 1 carat G colour? 1.5 carat J colour? Simple eternity band?? Good lord, I''m really starting to annoy myself (and FI!!!).
 
Congratulations on your engagement and have fun designing your rings!! How exciting!!
