Outside the Box

I know everyone thought I was absolutely crazy when I found an antique ring at the mall and wanted it for my engagement ring. It had a garnet in the place of where I wanted a diamond. I guess no one has the vision I did. Turns out, I was totally right. My husband had the garnet replaced with an emerald cut diamond. It blew me away! I was honestly so surprised that he did this on his own with no ones help.

So, that got me thinking. Why do we always think new is better. I used to be one of them. Now, I find that many older things are made with such quality and beauty.

When I got married, I wanted to keep the vintage look. So, I found a pair of vintage chandelier earings. They were stunning. I also found a Weiss broach at a secondhand thrift store that supported battered women. For my bridesmaids, I gave them each a vintage broach I sepecifically picked out for each of them. A friend let me borrow a paif of vintage earings to use as shoe clips on my tiffany blue shoes. See, you can make the old look new and have a look all your own.
