Figure out where you want the ring to sit and the color (it also comes in white gold (opens in new tab)), because the sizing of the ring is pretty precise. If you're thinking about purchasing the LOVE ring for yourself or for someone special, I do have some tips. (Cartier also offers a specific LOVE wedding band (opens in new tab).) This is an all-occasion ring that I know I will wear forever, without worrying it will drop out of style. I've worn my LOVE ring to weddings, to the office, to press dinners, and everywhere in between. It even makes your fingers look pretty when you aren't wearing nail polish. Though the ring looks great when paired with other gold pieces from my jewelry collection, I learned that the LOVE ring makes even more of a statement when worn by itself. The LOVE ring makes me feel special, fancy, and dressed up even if I'm just in yoga leggings. I wore the ring on New Year's Eve 2019 and almost every day since. (In hindsight, I'm so glad he did not take offense to this!) I didn't think he would fulfill my wish/joke, but when our three year anniversary rolled around, he presented to me, on Christmas day, a LOVE ring. After a year of dating, I jokingly said to my boyfriend that if we make it past "hump year," I deserve a Cartier ring for putting up with him. The idea of someone buying it for me, for a special occasion, seemed even better. With a secure job, the thought of buying a Cartier LOVE ring was more attainable. So I stuck to $20 Forever 21 earrings as a teen, and, as I grew older, gravitated towards demi-fine jewelry from popular DTC brands.įast forward to my 20s. The idea of losing or misplacing something worth hundreds, or possibly thousands, of dollars made me nauseous. The anxiety of getting caught by my mom/potentially losing her very expensive jewelry/feeling like a fraud at six years old for lying to my teacher, kept me from touching my mom's precious baubles (opens in new tab) ever again.įor long after that experience, I had no interest in fine jewelry. I do recall wrapping the precious jewel up in a white envelope and sneaking the piece back into my mom's collection before she noticed it was missing. I don't remember what else I said or how it was received, though that's probably for the best-as an adult, I'm terribly embarrassed I did that as a child. Once for "show and tell" in Kindergarten, I snuck into my mom's jewelry drawer and borrowed a sapphire ring to present to my peers and teacher, proudly boasting that my mom had bought it for me. My mother would shop hop and inquire about the newest merchandise as I peered through the glass displays, captivated by the sparkly sapphire rings, jade bracelets, and glittering gold earrings encrusted with rubies. My first memory of being mesmerized by gemstones and diamonds is going to the jewelry stores that used to dominate (opens in new tab) the entire length of Canal Street in Chinatown, NYC.
