No wonder the earth's striking back with all the natural disasters. And they call it Acts of God. More like Acts of Selfish Man thinking he can keep attacking the earth without consequence...<BR/><BR/>Okay, off soapbox now, but I for one am totally with green rings!<BR/><BR/>MelissaMelissa Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527587698568593335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592562003122499988.post-13586041516660995912008-09-17T23:33:00.000-07:002008-09-17T23:33:00.000-07:00Brandy, that's why I want to remodel the ring Mum ...Brandy, that's why I want to remodel the ring Mum gave me. She had a beautiful ring from my dad, but in the late 70s when my sister broke up with her fiance and gave her a ring, Mum remodeled both rings together in one of those awful 70s "step" patterns. She gave it to me years ago and I still haven't remodeled, but I would love a new engagement ring.<BR/><BR/>MelissaMelissa Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527587698568593335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592562003122499988.post-22206229644466289632008-09-17T20:12:00.000-07:002008-09-17T20:12:00.000-07:00That's really interesting, Melissa!

I know a lot of women go for man-made diamonds [hey - no imperfections and no blood diamonds] -or there are a number of people who are moving away from the diamond engagement ring. <BR/>The green wedding ring is also really sweet- it involves a lot more people in the process and the ring is something you can keep forever. How meaningful.limecellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331447498798826649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592562003122499988.post-42203368724020059592008-09-17T19:56:00.000-07:002008-09-17T19:56:00.000-07:00This sounds lovely!

It also makes the ring much more special. And since it has a social cause, stamping out conflict diamonds is of utmost importance.

He and his fiancee have designed the rings they want with the precious metal from the rings my son's father and I wore in high school! I wasn't certain if they would want the rings as our marriage didn't last, but the kids thought even though the marriage didn't work out...it was in high school where we met and fell in love and that was good enough for them. I think saving a few hundred dollars helped their decision along too!

You can use any type of jewelry to make brand new wedding bands for both bride and groom. That is you could get your dad's old glass ring, your mom's gold watch, your aunt's necklace, etc. Melissa J was just talking about her ring she wanted to redo!Melissa McClonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715664439441831529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592562003122499988.post-11196883564122316522008-09-17T12:38:00.000-07:002008-09-17T12:38:00.000-07:00Like Virginia, I don't believe I'd change a settin...Like Virginia, I don't believe I'd change a setting of an antique piece of jewellery, but it's an interesting idea. :) I went back and checked out that video. Very neat! :) <BR/><BR/>My engagement ring has a diamond from my husband's grandmother. She gave her two oldest grandsons diamonds to use for engagement rings. A subtle hint to get married? LOL! No, seriously, I thought it was a lovely gesture.

I really love the old settings of rings. My sister has my grandmother's ring and it is beautiful.

A couple people I knew were horrified I didn't make my fiance spend money on a new diamond.

What a wonderful idea...the ring I have was put together by my mother, was her old one and my sister's old one when they remarried. I loved the first rings and would love to make something nice from them!<BR/><BR/>Melissa JMelissa Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527587698568593335noreply@blogger.com
