Choosing my engagement ring

 To start things off, Corey and I found my wonderful vintage engagement ring in an antique shop in Seal Beach, California. Diamond mining is so bad for the environment, so buying a vintage ring is a great way to "go green." Not only that, but I know NO ONE has my ring, it's totally unique! You would be surprised at the beautiful rings you can find for such affordable prices. Besides, I was tired of seeing the same rings everywhere, I wanted something different. This ring belonged to an elderly woman who lived in the Hamptons. The gold band is thick and the yellow diamonds are raised, forming a flower shape.

Also, there are a TON of jewelry sales going on around Valentine's Day. Most businesses offer 50% off or more. We found Corey's wedding band for under $200. This is a great time to buy rings and get the one you want for half the price.
