i was never really a jewelry type of girl. i'd fall in love with the occasional bracelet and i even had my ears pierced when i was sixteen, but it's been at least ten years since i last wore a pair of earrings. i never - never - wore rings, and i liked to tell people there was room for only one ring in my life and there would be a significant other attached to it.
it's safe to say my fiancé blew my mind with the ring he gave me when he proposed. i think i even blacked out for a little while, because two minutes after he presented it i honestly couldn't remember whether i had already said yes. of course i had, and i have never been prouder to wear anything i own than this ring that symbolizes our now ten-year-relationship (10/11/12 was our anniversary).
as it turned out, it was one of those moments that changes your life in little ways, too. suddenly, i didn't feel weird anymore wearing jewelry. and so i was happy as a clam when my client - antwerp brand diamanti per tutti - wanted me to have a couple of their bracelets. i haven't taken off those two you see in the second picture since i first put them on, and they are really starting to feel like a part of me, too.
i still don't wear much jewelry - just those three things - but i love how they add a classic and feminine touch to whatever i'm wearing, even if it's a t-shirt and jeans (which is basically 95% of the time).

Congrats on the engagement! Love the ring, your mister has style!
I love simple jewelry with a story. Every once in a while I buy myself a necklace, but I never intend to wear it. Although I don't leave home without the 2 rings my parents gave me, the one I gave myself to celebrate 3 years of Blanco Tekst and the bracelets I've got from my best friend. Recently found the rings I was wearing as a kid, I'll always keep them for their memories.
I think jewelry means more than just being a piece of steel, gold or silver when it's gifted.
Cherish yours!
thank you for your lovely comment sabine! and i agree: jewelry without meaning is just bling.
