Diamonds are a girls best friend. Yes they are. You know, this time every year, there are men, and of course women, all over the country gearing up to propose to their loved one over the festive season. My own husband proposed to me on Christmas Eve, 24th December 2007, that’s almost 5 years ago! Goodness, who knew back then that 5 years later, I’d be spending my days lovingly crafting wedding related blog posts together for fellow brides to be! Life takes the most surprising of twists and turns at times 🙂
Of course, for most people, becoming engaged means also becoming the owner of a brand new, often sparkly ring – a treasured piece of personal jewellery that symbolises the occasion, the intent to commit to your loved one, in due course, for the rest of your life.
Today, I’d like to introduce you to Brilliant Earth, a global leader in eco-friendly engagement rings, wedding rings and fine jewellery, a truly fabulous online service that lets you either purchase a one-off antique ring, or build your own wedding or engagement ring. I’m not kidding, it’s a gorgeous site full of the most exquisite jewellery…

More absolutely beautiful one-off antique engagement rings from Brilliant Earth. Oh how I adore an antique ring. I actually have an antique ring as my main wedding ring!
