See, I didn't want to have a typical ring and... I have slightly smaller than a size 3.5 ring finger. Yes, you read that right. I knew that not every ring would look good and I really wanted to try some on first. He agreed that this was logical and made it easier on him so I started looking. The search began online as most things do. Originally I LOVED tension set rings and had my heart set on one but was extremely disappointed when I went to look in person and they looked awful (read: gigantic) on my hand and a jeweler even told me they weren't sure they could be made that small. Oh well, disappointingly, the search continued.
One day in the mall with my mom I fell in love with a ring set that had a green diamond! Lime green is my absolute favorite color and this ring was perfect. Except when I showed it to Andrew and he cringed. I could not have a colored diamond :( Ok, again I was to keep looking.
Sometime in August I went on a trip for work to Ohio and my mom decided to join me to keep me company. One night as we were driving back to the hotel from dinner (or, more likely, shopping) we thought it would be fun to stop in Jared's. The lady there was extremely nice and very helpful, showing me the rings that could be sized down, explaining the process, etc. My mom was looking a case ahead of me and says "I see your ring!" When I made it to the case, I picked the one I loved and she was right. I tried it on and absolutely loved it. Mom suggested I keep looking to see if there were any others I liked to give Andrew options and I did find another one that was a wedding set that was also very beautiful.
The saleslady wrote down both numbers on the back of her card (starring the one I found first) and we were on our way. I was so excited to get home and give the card to Andrew. I could feel that the proposal would soon follow!
