The box your engagement ring came in.

xoxoxo2017, 9 of July of 2014 at 20:22 Posted on Planning 0 22

What did you do with it?

I have a "Wedding Desk" in the spare room and I decided to use mine for a scented candle, gives some ambiance alongside my fairy lights and is quite relaxing when I sit here Smiley smile

    I still keep my ring in it when I'm not wearing it as I don't wear jewellery at night. Strangely it sits next to my jewellery box though haha

    I kept it on a bedroom unit with my other little bits, woke up one morning to find our dog had eaten it in the night and only had shredded bits left! My new engagement ring came in a stupid 1cm by 4 cm nap box an apparently I left it in MILS car.

    But xant say I'm really fussed about the box.

    My ring is vintage and didn't come in a box. But if it had I'd probably have thrown it away, I don't see any point in keeping them.

    I just didn't want to throw it away as it meant something to a degree, I am a bit sentimental like that. Definitely a perfect way for me to utilize the box =)

    The box my ring actually originally came in I have no idea where it is. When my fiancé proposed he had the ring in a gorgeous box which he had made personally for me with some lovely words inside which he came up with himself and my name written in the top so when he opened it I could read the words inside Smiley smile

    I keep it next to my bed as I store it in there for work and bed time

    I'm not allowed to wear my ring for work :-( so my ring spends most of its time in the box it came in :-(

    I have 2 boxes for my engagement ring...

    The incredibly large, fancy one that it came in when H2B bought it (its the size of a watch box!!) and also a much smaller one thats just big enough for the ring that he bought so it would fit in his pocket.

    Both are empty not being used, but I would never get rid of them.

    In a drawer, in a bag, with the receipt. I have not attached any sentimental value to it.

    My box is on my dressing table, as I take it off for festivals and stuff so I dont lose it. Then I wear a crappy fake one so my finger doesnt feel naked :-)

    It's chucked in a drawer along with several other jewellery boxes I seem to have collected. I take all my jewellery off at night and keep my engagement ring, OH's Mum's eternity ring that I wear, and a bracelet that OH got me all in a little pot by the bed.

    Like a few others, mine is vintage and didn't have a ring box. OH's mum gave him a box that used to hold earrings (padded, floral material, a bit twee) to give it to me in, which I now use to hold a few other rings as it has no internal cushion so far too big for just one ring.

    I am having my wedding ring made for me by a local jeweller, his boxes are very smart so both rings will probably live in there as and when I'm not wearing them.

    Nothing, I haven't got it, and not too sure what happened to it. My OH proposed at my birthday party so it no doubt ended up on a table and then in the bin. I asked him for it the day after and he didn't have it. He did say it was a good job I liked it and it fit me, ha! ?

    (lovely idea for yours by the way)

    H2B attached mine to a watch he'd bought me for my birthday so took it out the box. I've never even thought about what happened to the box, I expect it was thrown away or it'll still be in his bedside table somewhere. I guess it has no sentimental meaning to me because it wasn't part of the proposal.

    I still have the original bag that the ring came in! My ER is currently in the box in the bag along with both our wedding bands in the safe until September!

    I have no idea where my box is. H2b wouldn't give it to because he was ashamed of where he got my ring from (I have no idea why he was ashamed). It was in the wardrobe but since we moved house it could be anywhere.
