Liz in the City* February 15, 2013 at 12:46 pm As a fellow October bride (10/30/10), enjoy your fall wedding! We had a lovely day with sun, yet still cool(er) temperatures, plus many pictures with a backdrop of changing leaves. So excited for you!
fposte* February 14, 2013 at 6:34 pm Aww. Happy Valentine’s, AAM. And to everyone else, regardless of what you may or may not have found at Superdawg.
Amouse* February 14, 2013 at 7:09 pm aww It’s Beautiful!! and fantastic choice of literature too! :-)
Ask a Manager* Post authorFebruary 15, 2013 at 10:41 am Yes! I love rose gold — which I didn’t know until this ring, and now I am obsessed with it.
Josh S* February 14, 2013 at 8:02 pm That’s a really classy ring. Two tone gold, channel-set accent stones, and that criss-cross design — just … unique and classy. If I’d have to venture a guess I’d say it’s a vintage/inherited piece? I don’t recall seeing anything like it when I was looking to buy my wife’s engagement ring…some 6 years ago. (And I was looking for something not dissimilar to it.) Good job fiancé!
Ask a Manager* Post authorFebruary 15, 2013 at 10:47 am Not vintage actually! But you’re not the first one to ask that — it seems to have that look, which is kind of nice.
Job seeker* February 15, 2013 at 1:28 pm Alison, your ring is beautiful and I am very happy for you.:-)
Katniss* February 14, 2013 at 9:23 pm Congrats! Don’t know if this is poor manners but do you know the designer for your ring? My BF and I are ring shopping and I love the style!
Ask a Manager* Post authorFebruary 15, 2013 at 10:48 am I don’t, unfortunately! But if you search for rose gold rings online, I’ve noticed some similar styles.
Not So NewReader* February 14, 2013 at 10:23 pm I love the two tone rings. A classy choice, I think. A treasure for a life time…. Kind of like the man that comes with the ring, eh?! Am so very happy for you both.
AB* February 14, 2013 at 11:45 pm 1. As non-native female American living in the U.S., who never understood the appeal of engagement rings, I must say, this one is simply gorgeous. 2. The fact that it’s sitting on top of a Jane Austen’s novels makes it even prettier! Very happy for AAM and the lucky fiancee!
Aswin Kini MK* February 15, 2013 at 1:50 am Congrats Alison! :) Hope you had a great Valentines day :) Wishing you and your fiancee all the very best!
Ash* February 15, 2013 at 8:13 am I’m not a fan of yellow gold by any means, but the ring looks lovely. Congratulations!
Ask a Manager* Post authorFebruary 15, 2013 at 1:48 pm Rose gold! I tried on some yellow gold rings just to see if I might end up liking them (because it’s hard to get the right metal with a redhead’s skin tone) and I just kept flashing in my head to my parents’ rings! Rose gold worked better.
Ash* February 15, 2013 at 2:41 pm Ah, I see. I do like rose gold. The picture just doesn’t do it justice. :)
Ellie H.* February 15, 2013 at 9:38 am I LOVE Emma – I think it may be the funniest book I have ever read. And of course, your ring is beautiful!
businesslady* February 15, 2013 at 9:54 am oh, that ring is just lovely! I’d actually been thinking about requesting a picture, so I’m glad you beat me to it. :)
danr* February 15, 2013 at 11:37 am I’ll echo the others… a lovely ring, and it fits who you are here. Traditional, yet different.
Angry Writer* February 15, 2013 at 11:57 am Funny how I always eyerolled at engagement rings … until I got mine last year! Now I love, love, love sharing in the joy. Gorgeous ring, it’s stunning! Congrats!
Megan* February 15, 2013 at 2:23 pm Oh, congratulations! Alison, it’s lovely, and how wonderful for you! squeeeee :) Sending well-wishes for lots of future happiness your way.
Jackie* February 15, 2013 at 4:10 pm Your ring is stunningly beautiful. Congratulations to you on your impending nuptials.
Valery* February 15, 2013 at 5:04 pm WHAT? Congrats! Love the ring and love, love, love Jane Austen. I consider myself a pretty dedicated follower but did I miss the announcement? And the story? Because the story is crucial!
Joanna* February 15, 2013 at 5:21 pm Yup, same here! Must have missed the original story. Regardless, all my best Alison – marriage is AWESOME if you do it right (right man, right goals and priorities). Since I’m the photography nerd, I’ll chime in – do NOT skimp on your wedding photos, because everything else fades away but beautiful, archival photos will not. And your ring is so lovely. Happy-jealous for you. :)
Rana* February 15, 2013 at 7:30 pm Yup – our priorities were photos, food, music for dancing. Alison, that’s a lovely ring. Congrats!
