Today's rings belong to a San Francisco couple married this past May. The bride's ring with the modified halo and double diamond studded band is a jaw dropper. We have serious ring envy and it's ridiculous how sparkly and elegant it is. The groom's band is an exquisite piece of jewelry as well. Such great taste all around! Carat: 3 carat center stone, .1 carat sidestones

An Engagement Story: We had talked about getting married but I wasn't expecting the ring for at least another year. My friend had recently gotten engaged so we were out looking for her engagement ring because she wanted to pick her own ring. We went to Shreve Company and I saw this beautiful ring in the case! It was a modified halo setting in white gold. I fell in love instantly because it was so huge and sparkly and didn't show in metal in the setting. I sent the pic to my boyfriend with the message ...'isn't this the most beautiful thing you have ever seen!'
That was in December. After a couple months I figured it wasn't happening in the near future. My husband's close friend is a diamond broker and he had wanted to go see the Cartier Exhibit that was in San Francisco. We had planned to go with him and his brother but at the last minute they had to cancel for work reasons, but on my husband's suggestion, we went anyway. After seeing all the amazing jewelry including Grace Kelly's engagement ring and Elizabeth Taylor's sapphire and diamond collection we toured the rest of the Legion of Honor. We sat down in the main room and that is when he asked me to marry him! I started crying as soon as he took the box out of this pocket and then almost peed when I saw what was inside... I still think it is the most beautiful wedding ring I have ever seen :)"
