Baubles, Bling and Curious Things

We’ve been talking a lot about unique choices for engagement rings lately.  After twenty-five years of wedded bliss, I’m well past the betrothal phase of dating.  I have to say that I am a bit relieved to not be attempting to purchase an engagement ring in today’s market.  There are so many variables and potential pitfalls – it’s much more challenging than ever before.  

Just last week, I stumbled upon this unusual find.  I gave a quick once-over, put it back and went on with my day.  A day or so later, it crossed my path for the second time.  I tried it on, set it aside and went back to work.  As much as it appealed to me, I was sure this ring would raise an eyebrow or two if I chose it for a blog.  When I happened upon it for the third time, I simply could not resist. 

Made from 14-karat rose gold, this solitaire has a hammered band.  A pear-shaped rose cut diamond is bezel-set on the center of the ring.  Often described as “salt and pepper”, this .80 carat diamond exhibits unique inclusions that are strangely beautiful.  This is the very thing that many young couples are looking for… a perfectly imperfect ring that represents their union.  Simple and elegant, this ring is available for just $2,250.00.  

If I were getting engaged in 2026, this is precisely the kind of ring that I would choose.  I find myself wondering what you think.  Is this rose gold ring hot?  Or not?
