I've always found it kind of odd how competitive girls can get over
their engagement rings. When I was planning my wedding, I once went to a
brunch with about 20 other brides-to-be for a fun filled afternoon of
girlie wedding chat, but toward the end of our date, one of the girls
insisted we take a photo of all our hands so we could "show off" our
engagement rings. Some of the women had some really amazing and
beautiful rings, but it became quite apparent this was merely a showdown
of who had the best, the prettiest, the most expensive ring. As we all
stood there, our hands planted on the table, I noticed that every girl
was looking at any ring but her own. It's a good thing all you could
see were the hands in that picture, otherwise you would have seen a lot
of awkward and uncomfortable faces.
Perhaps I'm over analyzing, but I hate how we women are
so quick to compare everything from our body shape to our wardrobe to
our wedding rings. Maybe it's just my age (turned 30 this year), but I
am so. over. it.
I'm ending this post with an wedding ring
that is not only beautiful, but a one-of-a-kind handmade piece - just
like you, my friend. You don't have to be a diamond ring kind of girl if
you don't want to be. :)

I've never compared myself with rings, dresses, shoes, belts, panties... I only compare myself with myself (and sharks).
Well said! Girls can be so brutal...it's time to stop competing and start being nicer to one another! I'm making it a habit to compliment total strangers if I love their hair, shoes, dress, whatever! Everyone is always pleasantly surprised to get a compliment from another girl. =)

Love what you said, Lizzie! What you're doing is great - we are often so preoccupied with with ourselves we don't take the time to compliment others. I am sure you have made a few people's day!
Women at the age of mid-20's tend to compare their wedding rings to almost anyone who has more beautiful ring.
I just found your blog (I'm beginning wedding planning) and saw this beautiful, non-diamond ring; I wanted to share my uncle's business/new discovery: he makes a stone called Equinite, which is made from polished horse hoof clippings. Horse lovers can send in a clipping (done routinely and usually thrown out) and he turns it into a gorgeous ring (or other piece of jewelry) that looks like it was made from a precious gem! Here is the website: http://www.equinite.com No mining required! :)
That ring is really amazing. Does it really consist of 5 stackable silver rings?
