IF. IF. IF.
I was born and raised in good ol’ Utah. I’ve been here for 23 years with the exception of a couple study abroads and sweet vacations to far away places. One Utah gene I did not catch was the desire to place a bright and shiny rock on my left hand. You know on what finger I’m talking about. In my own and complete opinion, enormous rings disgust me. Diamonds disgust me. I am all about concept and reason and a large diamond cannot be justified in my brain. I understand the rings that have been passed around throughout family and I think that is very sweet. But other than that, most rings just scream out how much money the husband has, or how much loans he has, depending. Here’s where this post relates back to art: The featured seller on Etsy this week is husband and wife of Fabuluster. The custom made wedding rings they design make total sense to me and are pretty dang romantic if you think about it. If, and this is a big fatty if, I were to get married I would consider looking into these more.
I am a little attached to this thrift shop ring I always wear. I’ve never taken it off for nearly 3 years now and it’s been with me through a lot of thicks and a lot of thins. I wouldn’t mind this being “the ring” either. Future husband will have to pay the $3 for it though because a lady can’t pay for her own ring, damn it!

These are so cool.
I’m with you. Although they can be pretty on other people, big diamond rings are not for me. My cousin made my simple silver band in his high school metals class. I stack it with a few thin gold bands that belonged to my grandmother. Instead of spending a ton on a ring, Kirk and I spent 3 months backpacking though Europe the summer after we were married. I feel so lucky that we were able to do that…so many great memories.
Wow, Eva! That is truly amazing. You’re lucky to have had a great adventure with your husband and I’m glad you see where I’m coming from on the ring front. I love that each band you wear has significance of family. That’s so sweet.
