Oh how lovely! I've never seen a ring quite like that

The centre stone is very unusual, I love green though (is it green or yellow-green? can't always tell in photos!) and it's set so nicely.

I can see why you're chuffed - did you pick or did your OH pick?

It is beautiful!! So different and unusual! What stone is it?? Is there a story behind it? Like why that colour or stone etc?

Thanks Date twin (get back to me when you can on email.... Its a bit like having a pen pal and waiting for the next letter so its always a nice surprise to get a personal email rather than spam!).

Basically the story behind the ring is that originally i wanted an emerald ring as green is my favourite colour and I always planned on having a green wedding dress. We couldn't find a ring that we liked though, that didnt cost a fortune (I wear titanium piercings in my face and body, that is the extent of the jewellery that I wear and I would be terrified of loosing something expensive). My OH had been recommended Charlotte by a work colleague. We got engaged on the thursday and she was having an 'open house' on the friday for people to come look at her bespoke stuff. I tried on a similar ring to mine not really thinking much about it but as soon as it was on my finger I loved the style. We talked a lot about the choice of stone and I decided that emerald would be too dark for me. Charlotte suggested green tourmaline and after some research I decided it was the right stone for me (I have the chakras tattooed up my back in flowers). Now Ive lost my flash virginity I will have to put up some more images! (and I am fully prepared for a lot of 'thats very different!'LOL)

Thanks for the comments ladies! ?

I love that its diffirent, very unsual. Are you still having a green dress?

Ive already got the dress to match VM ? I will be picking it up in a few weeks so will hopefully get a flash up on here for everyone to see!
