Happy Saturday everyone!
So this is how my sapphire band came to be: about 5 months ago (a month after we were married) I noticed the diamonds from my eternity band were eating into the platinum basket on my e-ring. I decided a spacer was a good idea, but didn''t want a plain, thin platinum band. I decided to get a very thin channel set sapphire band. My reasoning was that if it was thin, it would sit below the diamonds in my eternity band and the diamonds wouldn''t rub against the edges of the sapphire band. The plan worked! Though the sapphire band is thinner than I originally wanted, it solves the rubbing problem.
The sapphire ring is an estate ring from the 1920''s, is only 2mm wide, is set in platinum and the sapphires are french cut. I wanted sapphires because we were married in September, I was set on getting a band from the 1920''s because the estate where we were married was built in 1927 (the main house was the owner''s great-grandfather''s gift to his great-grandmother for their wedding) and I wanted french cut sapphires because a.) I love them and b.) we were engaged in France. So the little ring is symbolic for me, haha.
Also, PLEASE IGNORE THE FRANKENMAN HANDS! I am not a very girly girl and and am super hard on my hands. I have a cut under my nail bed and tons of scars from rock climbing. Also, the chalk I use on my hands to climb dries them out so badly they often crack (yuck, I know). Clearly, I''m not a manicure kind of gal, haha.
