Our wedding rings

Last night, Alex and I biked over to Brooklyn to meet with jewelry designer Blanca Monros Gomez about our wedding rings. Blanca was warm and wonderful, and I'd highly recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding ring. It felt exciting and romantic to choose them. (I chose the thin gold square ring, above, and Alex chose the bigger square ring; those black diamonds are so pretty, too, though!)

  9. we were there really early... around 7:00. we tried to eat in the back, but they told us it was too chilly, so i didn't get a peek at the back stable open. i love that back building... such a great place to have a wedding party, huh?

  18. So cute! My husband wears a $50 ring we found in a little jewelry store in Cape Town, South Africa - we didn't want to spend too much because he's always losing things! Mine, on the other hand, is a little more valuable...

    Love the fact that you are getting them custom made.

  24. Really lovely!
    There is something special about rings from a jewellery designer as opposed to the maistream machine made variety.
    The handmade item usually retains
    that indvidual "hand made feeling"

  36. Love your ring choices. After 21 years of marriage I look at mine with such love of the early days. Good luck!

  37. I love the rings you chose. People usually get really excited around weddings and often the tendency leads to buying huge rings, that in the end, will totally limit your ring wearing options down the road. The ring you chose is great because its down spoken and can be worn alone or with some other rings, and is therefor a lot less limiting.

  43. These are gorg, Joanna.

    The rings are so important! People gloss over them sometimes in the middle of wedding planning, but that's the thing you're gonna wear *forever* !!

    You want to look down at your ring every day and *love* it.
