Fun Wedding Bands

I love etsy. Plain and simple. There's so much fantastic handmade stuff of there, it's so much fun to browse through and find fun things that make me smile.



These rings are also known as posey rings. Back in the olden days men used to give them as engagement rings, and they were engraved with all kinds of phrases proclaiming love. I have one (from the Globe Theatre, but that's another story) that reads "Think of me, God willing". You can have these rings stamped with anything that you want (up to about 25 characters I believe). I want to get one made as a sort of class ring for college.



I think these are FREAKING ADORABLE! What a cute way to let the world know that you and your love are taken.



These are growing in popularity very steadily. You make a mold of the fingerprint you want inside (or outside actually) the ring, and you send it in. A few weeks later you get your ring with the fingerprint that you can always have on you. I think that these have beautiful sentiment, always keeping your loved ones print on you, literally next to your skin. It also helps that they're beautiful.



These are just cute. Mine. That little word conveys so much, especially when it's on a wedding band. When I saw this set for the first time the very first thing that crossed my mind was the scene from Finding Nemo when the seagulls are fighting over the food and they keep saying "mine, mine mine..." I love that the inside of the ring says "yours", more than I love that the outside of the ring says "mine" because really that's what marriage is about, belonging with the other person.

Okay, okay, this last one isn't a wedding band, but what girl doesn't dream of opening a little blue box from Tiffany? This (classic) ring is sterling silver and $125 dollars. Probably the least expensive ring from Tiffany!



Oh little blue box... You are beautiful...
