Happy Engagement Day!

So finally after over 7 years together my brother proposed to his long suffering girlfriend... (23 Sep 12)

How it went down: They were away for the weekend, had spent the day at the zoo... then as Leila sadly went for a shower after expecting the proposal to come during the day Ben showed her a video he'd made - with the proposal included : ))

So very cute, I want to see the video so much - maybe they'll let me add it to the blog?  The ring is vintage, bought earlier in the year... pictures to come in a few weeks.

Just under a carat diamond, with platinum flowers and a thin gold band!!

Wedding Bling - Gold Edition

My own preference is for white gold and platinum and made me neglect posting about gold bling... and I don't know why, I do love a bit of gold jewellery.

Ring a ling ling... my wedding band

So obviously you need a wedding band (ring) that will match/complement your engagement ring... so as my ring is a vintage beauty, but also very sparkly I am considering two options!

Vintage 30's details slim platinum band, or to continue with the bling theme and get a half diamond platinum band to match the stones on my engagement ring - similar to below

Isadoras - $700

Menteca - $350

Just a little reminder as to the engagement ring - thought please?
