I change my wedding rings like I change my hairstyles — OFTEN. This week I changed both! Wanna see ’em?
Here’s what my ring used to look like:
All vintage and pretty and EXACTLY what I wanted when I found it. But over the years I stopped wearing the engagement ring and instead wore various wedding bands and rings that I had accumulated (original engagement ring, my wedding band, and a ring I got for doing an Offbeat Bride ad) but NEVER the pretty vintage engagement ring. I just noticed that my tastes had changed and I was drooling over more modern styles. So I decided to change it up!
Here’s how the ring looks now:
I love it! It goes with all my wedding bands and various rings, to the point where I’m switching up which rings I wear every day now. Oh, and did I mention it cost me NADA!? I traded my old ring to have this custom made, and that was that. FUN!
Speaking of fun. Let’s talk about my hair.
Since I had to save up a butt ton of money to pay my taxes in April, I cut “getting my hair did” as one of my expenses. So my hair went from mostly brown with sad faded pink…
To more blonde and more pink all over! Yay. I feel better about my dumb head now.
Okay, that’s enough of my self-absorbed braggy time.

Ohh, the new ring is lovely! I love the setting that the solitaire is in, absolutely gorgeous. And you and your hair look fantastic as always 🙂

No, let’s talk about blinged-out glasses! Where did you get the awesome shades? Are you tight with Elton?

HA! Actually, Elton John *is* my favorite performing artist of ALL TIME. So yeah, they were totally a nod to him. My secret to badass sunglasses: raid the drawer of rejects at your optometrist’s office. There’s always a drawer or cheaper (older!) sunglasses. These were a steal because they were left over from the ’80s. The lady was SHOCKED that I wanted them.

Traded it to where?! How do you do that?

Ah, it helps when you have a family jeweler. 😉 My family and I have been getting and commissioning our jewelry from this guy in Downton LA since I was a baby. I got my engagement ring from him just by trading in a bunch of jewelry I never wore! So he wasn’t surprised when I came in and wanted to trade that ring for something else. 😉
