Lately Rob and I have been having conversations about rings… engagement rings. He wanted to get some ideas of the type of ring I’d like. (Eeeeeeee!!!! *hyperventilates*) So OF COURSE, I hop over to the Tiffany website to take a look. (Now, I don’t want a ring from Tiffany & Co — I’d rather have a really nice ring than have Rob pay for the brand name, you know? But hey, a girl can dream. That darn robin’s blue box has such an effect on me).

I LOVE this ring…

GUH. So beautiful. I always thought I’d want a round cut diamond but this square cut seriously makes me weak in the knees. I love the smoothness of the band and especially the way the ring looks from the side. Such a pretty detail. I can’t stop looking at it. It’s mesmerizing. So elegant, simple and modern.

But this is the ring I always imagined in my head when I thought about getting engaged…

Round cut diamond in the center with smaller round channel set diamonds on the side… *swoons* This one’s a classic. But I don’t know which style I like more! Decisions, decisions.

I’m going to check out BlueNile and Tacori — does anyone else have any site recs? Or maybe pictures of rings I can drool over?

PS – Carmen/Robyn, take note. Hee.
